River rafting on Rio Tenorio - Whitewater rafting experience on Rio Tenorio with Mario was excellent! My family and I were traveling through Costa Rica and booked this excursion. Booking was simple and straightforward. From the moment we arrived all guides, including Mario treated us with first class service. My daughter was the youngest on the tour and she was a bit apprehensive. Mario made her feel very comfortable and she was laughing throughout the trip. These class three and four rapids were intense and lots of fun action was nonstop! Definitely booked this trip and if possible, recommend Mario!

Highly recommend! - Highly recommend this excursion & this company! The trip was fantastic and our guide, Luis, was great!! When he wasn’t guiding us through the rapids, he was teaching us about Costa Rica and the many beautiful things the country has to offer. The food was top notch. This company is so well organized. They even take multiple pictures of you throughout your rafting trip so that you don’t have to worry about bringing a camera! 100% must do when in Costa Rica.

Best tour guide is sam! - SAM WAS THE BEST!!!! he has been a guide for 27 years so he knows every rock and every animal on the river! he spotted so many animals on the way and was super good at guiding us around everything. instead of weaving through rocks and getting stuck on them he would turn us sideways so when we hit the rocks it would push us facing forward. very smart and super fun. he made it a super fun experience

Highlight of our entire trip! - Highlight of our entire trip (even with low water)! The scenery is breathtaking (plus we saw so many monkeys!) and the river has many rapids and even a few waterfalls you go over! We also were able to swim in several spots and jump off rocks too. Mario, our guide, was knowledgeable and so skilled with the raft! We had the best time! Highly recommend.

Definitely Put on Your List! - This was a fantastic excursion. Our guides were very experienced so we felt at ease the whole time. Jason was our guide, and he was so good at navigating the river and pointing things out to us (we had an audience of monkeys for a good part of the trip)! Lunch was tasty, and the photographer did a great job capturing our exciting trip. Want to go again!

Not very exciting - I took this tour with my 16 year old daughter. The guides worked hard to make it a good experience. Unfortunately the water level was very low so the pace was really slow and overall not very exciting. It may be better depending on the time of the year.
