Because of daily changes in water level, flow, and almost daily rain, you may or may not be able to go down the Pacuare River. The morning of our tour we were informed that we could not go down the Pacuare because of too much water and dangerous conditions. So they took us down the Pejibaye River. It was really a beautiful and fun river with class 2 and 3 rapids and beautiful jungle scenery, but not the jaw dropping beauty of the Pacuare with its class 3 and 4 rapids. We were disappointed in the change, but understand that these guides take safely seriously and found a great alternative nearby. Our guides were fantastic and lots of fun. The entire experience was professional and well executed.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We completely understand your disappointment about not being able to raft the Pacuare River. River conditions can change quickly, and while we always hope to run the Pacuare, guest safety must come first. We're glad you enjoyed the Pejibaye River and its beautiful scenery, fun rapids, and rainforest surroundings. Most of all, we're delighted to hear that our guides helped make the experience enjoyable and that you found the entire operation professional and well organized. Thank you for your understanding and for trusting our team's judgment. We hope you'll have the opportunity to return and experience the Pacuare River with us on your next visit to Costa Rica. Pura Vida!
Roberto our guide was amazing! The Pacuare River was too high so we had to pivot to another river. We had a great time and so much fun. We got to see a boa and a wild Sloth as well. Roberto really made an already great day even better! We will be back for more! Pura Vida!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a great time on the river despite the change in plans. Safety is always our top priority, and we're glad the alternative adventure turned out to be just as enjoyable. We're especially happy to hear that Roberto helped make the experience even more memorable. Spotting a boa and a wild sloth is always a special bonus! We'll be sure to share your compliments with him. Thank you for choosing us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure soon. Pura Vida!
Explorers A must-do in Costa Rica!!!! We were a family with three teenagers, 13, 15, and 17, and there were six of us plus a guide in one raft. The tour started at 8:00 AM with breakfast. We were at the river around ten. We took a break halfway through with fresh pineapple and then continued until 2:00 PM. There are many class three and four rapids on the Pacuare River! It is super fun but certainly not entirely without danger! In any case, muscle soreness afterward is guaranteed 🤣

Absolutely do not risk your vacation or your health with this company. This was one of the worst and most unsafe experiences I have ever had while traveling. I have gone whitewater rafting four times before in the U.S. and other places, and I have never fallen into the water or been injured like this. With this company in Costa Rica, I ended up seriously injuring my knee, needing a wheelchair, and ruining the rest of my Costa Rica trip. The raft guides were very disrespectful and constantly talked down to people instead of making anyone feel safe. Their attitude was horrible. They acted like they knew everything, but they did not seem properly trained or capable of controlling the raft when the river got rough. People were falling into the water, the situation felt chaotic, and the guides seemed more focused on blaming guests than actually doing their job. Whitewater rafting is already risky, but this felt unsafe because of the guides, not just the river. They seemed inexperienced, unprepared, and extremely unprofessional. I have rafted before and know the difference between a normal adventure activity and a poorly managed, dangerous operation. This was the first time I was seriously injured, and I believe it could have been avoided if the guides were better trained and more responsible. This place is highly overrated. If you are visiting from the U.S. or anywhere else, I strongly recommend staying away. You could seriously get hurt here. The unprofessional staff, poor control, and unsafe environment made this a terrible experience from start to finish. Absolutely do not risk your vacation or your health with this company.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that this experience did not meet your expectations. Guest safety is our highest priority, and we take all concerns very seriously. Following your review, we conducted a thorough investigation with the river operator and the guides assigned to your tour. The excursion was led by experienced, certified rafting professionals and accompanied by a dedicated safety kayaker. No incidents or injuries were reported to our operations team during or after the tour, and no safety concerns were raised by other participants. White-water rafting is an adventure activity that involves inherent risks, even under professional supervision. Nevertheless, we continuously review our procedures to maintain the highest safety standards. We appreciate your comments and wish you all the best in your future travels.
