Fabulous white water rafting trip. Highly recommended.
Loved everything about it. There were 4 category 3-4 rapids and several more light ones. Great trip down the river. Beautiful views and wildlife viewing. Our guide Leo was great and helpful. Can’t wait to go again on my next trip to Costa Rica.

Most fun I’ve ever had (ask for Jason)
The most fun I’ve literally ever had. If you go you have to request Jason, he was the most fun and attentive tour guide there! The journey was about 2 hours long and we were there at the end of dry season so the water was a little low but not too low not to have fun. 11/10 experience if you are in the area it’s 100% worth every penny. We had a blast on our raft with Jason!

Rafting in the jungle.
The 6 And 12 foot drops and watching the monkeys swinging in the trees while rafting. A lot of old big trees were all over the river all through the rafting trip.
The only thing that I didn’t like was on our ride to the river we had to change transportation modes to get to the river. It was rough and very uncomfortable for about 45 minutes.

Awesome day
We booked this online and then drove there is a car we rented for a few days. Easy commute from Occidental Papagayo on fairly easy roads to navigate. The guides were fun, knowledgeable and ensured we were safe. Everyone on the river looked out for each other, from this company and the other company sharing the space. Paying cash was a real perk. The experience was great, lunch was very satisfying and the facilities were completely adequate. I would do the Terminator better next time :) 2 words….do this
