Our family of four (two adults and two teens) had an absolute blast on the river! Ulises was an outstanding guide—he was incredibly friendly and kept us laughing while ensuring we felt completely safe navigating the rapids. Highly recommended for families, and we can’t wait to come back and do it again!
Our guides were very friendly through the entire day. The ride to get to the river was a little long, but we stopped on the way and had juice and the choice of some amazing empanadas. The rafting was a great experience our entire family really enjoyed it ! The lunch that was provided by was also great!
First time water rafting with my 8 and 10 year old kids and they loved it. The rapids were not too strong and there were calm breaks in between. Our guide Jason was funny and very informative on the rides to and from the rapids. Our guide Elmer who guided our raft was very nice and funny. The waterfall during our break from the rapids was the cherry on top. Absolutely beautiful and completely kid friendly. They offered juicy sweet pineapple and delicious local crackers as a snack while at the waterfall. The guides made clay masks from the waterfall rocks and shared with everyone. They also provided lunch at the end of the trip back to their headquarters and the meal was delicious. The whole was great. Highly recommend.
The rapids were great and accurately described as II and IIi. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of birds we saw on the river, including various kingfishers and a woodpecker. Kenneth, our raft guide, made sure our family felt safe, and we enjoyed his stories about the area.
Great guides and service! Very friendly and felt extremely safe! We had a great time and the food was great!
Amigos del rio is the group to go with if you want to white water raft in Costa Rica. Kenneth, Jamie, and everyone else were so friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. You’re missing out not booking a white water rafting trip with these guys. 10/10!
Amazing and fun! The crew made our safety a priority and we enjoyed the rapids! A must do with Paddle 9!!
We had SO much fun on the whitewater rafting tour! It was my first time rafting, but Juan Carlos took great care of the 5 of us on his raft- which included 2 couples and 1 5yo child. The guides giving instructions before rafting began were very thorough and left us feeling confident before getting into the water. The tour also included a gorgeous drive through the scenic Manuel Antonio area to the rapids, as well as an informal driving tour of the palm oil industry as we drove through the forest areas. We loved the waterfall stop and the snacks and lunch were delicious!! Everyone was so kind and amazing and it was a great experience! Looking back on our rafting photos, we noticed that we were smiling the entire time. We hope to be back for another rafting tour (and a VERY fresh papaya) one day! Pura Vida!!
Highly recommend! We had the best time with Amigos del Rio on their whitewater tour. The river and waterfall are stunningly beautiful, and the guides were friendly and knowledgeable (loved Allen!). We would absolutely book another adventure through Amigos del Rio.
We had an absolutely fabulous time on the Savegre WW trip today! Ulysses and Umberto accompanied us on the trip, and Elmil was our captain. It was really fun, not too difficult, very refreshing, and there were lots of laughs. We're so happy we booked this trip with Amigos del Rio! Also, the pineapple break was the most delicious I've ever had, and the chicken, beans, and rice at the end sure hit the spot!
