Unforgettable Experience

First time rafting and let me tell you it was soo much fun! We had the BEST guide “Mario” who is a professional and made this experience memorable. Now, we did fall a few times but that was part of the experience which made it more fun! Highly recommend it you won’t regret. Pura Vida!!!

The BEST part of our vacation!

White water rafting on the Tonorio River with Tenorio Adventure was an unforgettable experience. Jason and Brian, our guides, demonstrated remarkable expertise. For all of us, this was a truly memorable experience. According to the girls, it was the best part of our trip yet! Thank you Osvaldo Pizarro for arranging this unforgettable experince and Tenorio Adventure for the awesome adventure!

Fun but less than advertised

Great tour and excellent guides. We went in the dry season and it was primarily class 1/2 with just a few big drops at the end that merit 3/4. A very fun trip and was well organized but left a little disappointed in the actual river difficulty based on how they marketed.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the tour and guides. We’ll review how we convey river difficulty to ensure expectations align more closely with the experience. Your input helps us improve!

Fun, professional and friendly!

This is the second time we went on this trip. These guys are professional and friendly, they have good equipment, and make it really fun. We had Juan taking us down the river and he was amazing. Obviously very experienced and great communicator. Thank you for a great adventure!

Cory Shawn and Alyssa give FIVE STARS!

We had the owner Chuy and I can’t be more thrilled about the experience we had today! Jose the driver picked us up early in the morning and pulled over to show us monkeys and crocodiles, also buying us fruit from a fruit stand during route! Jose is the best driver!!!! We took this excursion from the JW Marriott Guanacaste. Then Chuy made us laugh the whole time! We saw Macaws and Toucans, Kingfisher, snakes, fish, a ton of butterfly’s, heron, and felt like we really got the Costa Rica experience. They feed you a delicious lunch which you can opt in to buy a beer while resting after your two hour rafting trip. If you are smart you’ll book this trip, the river was intimidating at a few spots but beyond that was accessible to most!

Great ride, great guides

We took our three college aged children on this adventure and had an amazing time. Everyone enjoyed it, it was exciting but not over the top. The guides were great, knowledgeable and very friendly. There can only be 4 people and 1 guide in each raft, so we were split up, which actually worked out good. They kept our 2 rafts close to each other, so we always had them in sight. The kids loved it, we loved it. Be prepared for some travel to get there and back from Tamarindo, but everyone agreed the ride was worth it.

Good but not great

Overall, it was a great experience! I do think that the safety concerns should be reviewed more thoroughly by the staff. It would also be nice to have a guided tour as we drive along the coast.

Great trip with Mario and his team in a beautiful area with fun but not too crazy rapids!

We had a great time with Mario and his team. Mario is very experienced and able to navigate a technically challenging river. He is also very funny and knowledgeable about the wildlife and plant life we encountered. Really fun and beautiful trip. Not the biggest rapids during the dry season but still good fun. Great for beginners and more experienced people.
