A fun trip down a beautiful river canyon that was with great staff. A very special Costa Rica experience.
Hannah was an amazing rafting guide. She was professional, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe while still keeping the trip exciting and fun. Her instructions were clear, her attitude was positive, and she handled everything with confidence. This rafting trip was a highlight of our Costa Rica vacation, and Hannah played a huge role in that. Highly recommend!
Thank you for the high recommendation! We are thrilled to hear the El Chorro Water Rafting trip was a highlight of your vacation. On a technical river like El Chorro, having a guide like Hannah makes all the difference. Her ability to project confidence and give clear instructions allows you to relax and focus on the adrenaline | knowing you are in safe hands. We are so glad she helped create such a memorable experience for your group. Thanks for trusting us!
Family of 4 had a great rafting trip - the guides were so cautious, informative, fun, and kind! They really want you to have the best experience! Being a mom, I was apprehensive about doing class 4 rapids but it was so exciting and not too intimidating at all! Finished with a gear buffet lunch. This is a MUST-DO in Costa Rica! We stayed at Los Suenos -was about 1.5 hours away.
We are honored by your wonderful review. Your satisfaction is our ultimate goal, and we are thrilled that we hit the mark for you. We can’t wait to serve you again soon!
This was a fun trip with our great raft guide, Jairo. There were many technical sections when Jairo would say "get down" and we'd dive into the bottom of the raft and get ready for a big drop and/or splash. Thank you!
The crew were awesome! They did a great job of balancing fun and safety. We were an older group of 60-70 something and they took great care of us. When one of our group fell out the where quick to respond before anyone realized what had happened!
We had a blast Water Rafting with Nico and the other tour guides! The description of the tour was exactly what we got. We stayed in Jaco, which was a hour 1/2 away from the river, however, transportation was included. I was told we would be picked up from our hotel at 7am, the driver was outside to get us at 6:50am! Once we arrived at the facility, we were served breakfast, coffee and juice (the juice was fresh and tasted amazing). We were then transported to the river which took about 20 minutes. The ride to the river was pure entertainment! Once we reached the river the guides gave us a very thorough lesson on the commands we should know during the ride. The river was amazing, the rapids were awesome and the tour guides were even better. After the river, we were transported back to the facility and was served lunch which also included and then dropped back off to our hotel. If you are looking for a good rafting trip, I highly recommend this company. We had so much fun I only wished the river was longer!
Very professional group of adventurers who provided excellent safety instruction before the event, and it was needed, for our group and the next group. Participants were safe and recovery was quick and prompt. There are some real sticky situations in this experience. Definitely not form the weak hearted. That said I felt super safe and Alexander and Super Mario (Driver) were excellent. Of note, it says you get lunch with this excursion, and we did and it was great, but we also got breakfast. Not sure it was standard, but I had already had breakfast at home, so would have planned accordingly if I had known.
This is an exciting adventure! The guides are friendly and very professional. The pictures they took of our group were quality. We had a great time and highly recommend.
We did this with our daughters 14 & 17. We had a blast and one of the most fun we have done as a family!
