Rafting the Paquare Sept 2024 - OMG...an amazing and unforgettable experience. I took my nephew as he wanted to experience a thrilling adventure, and we only had a few days. The tour operators and guides are fantastic and very professional. Carlos our guide is very knowledgeable about Costa Rica and its rich history. He is an expert on the rafting and we were very safe. The training and instructions are very easy to follow for first time rafters and the Paquare truly earns its name as a Top 10 river to raft. Words cannot fully express our adventure, from the hotel pickup, the drive to the river, amazing breakfast Costa Rican style, sufficient to fuel you for the trip, the support staff, the lunch halfway down, the photographer, wow, I could go on and on. My nephew said this is his best adventure he ever had. Blessings to the whole crew. Pura Vida

Simply Amazing! - What an amazing time! I was a little nervous because I had never been water rafting before, but the guides made the whole process smooth and made me feel super comfortable. The views are amazing! I would definitely do this trip again! They do take professional pictures of you and the boat you’re on which is also pretty cool.

Do It!!! - This was a really fun rafting trip. The first I had ever been on. Beautiful country to raft through. Our guide was awesome and we didn't lose anyone out of the raft until our last bout with the rapids - one of the lesser ones, but we got her back in the boat almost as soon as she slipped out. Lunch was good, we joined up with another raft about half way through our run that had been on a 2 day trip. Breakfast was good, Lunch was decent. It was a long drive from San Jose, but I am glad I didn't have to drive it as there was a truck blocking the road and we had to take a 40 min detour through the mountains to get to the river.

Great day at the river!!! - Was amazing!! We went super fast and had a great time! I would 100% recommend going on this trip! We met a lot of new people and we all enjoyed each other. We felt super safe the whole time with our amazing guide. People on the trip did fall out of the boat but they were quickly brought back in and laughed about it after. You should definitely do this!
