Rafting with Braulio - We are still laughing at ourselves! The trip down this river was the highlight of our vacation. Braulio made the day for us from the commentary on the bus ride to being our guide down the river. He managed to get me in the water 4 times and just really had us laughing the whole time. This river is no joke, as my friend said, "There is no warm up lap!" You are right into the white water as soon as you push off from shore and it is a fast paced, hard working experience. I look forward to my next trip to see the team again. Could not recommend the entire experience more highly.

Best Rafting experience in Costa Rica - This is the most value and incredible family experience we had at La Fortuna. Safe, and a completely half day with adventure and the most beautiful nature. Our tour guide Braulio Machillo make it extra special. Amazing company tour and staff. We will do it 100% again. My daughters 19 and 16 love it.

So much fun, definitely recommend! - Loved the trip, Didier was a great guide, felt very well informed and had a wild ride. Would definitely recommend, the class IV wasn’t too extreme but definitely need to be decently fit to paddle a lot.

The best of Arenal Rafting, unique moments that are never erased from our minds, lives life to the fullest. - Definitely, I was going into the unknown, listening to the security talk by Raft guide Braulio, as we headed to Sarapiquí. But already being in the river, the words did not reach my mind, to be able to describe the moment so amazing, magical, incredible, extraordinary and above all full of adrenaline, that I was living for the first time, with my youngest son and his little companion. They are those unique moments that we take and that are never erased from our minds, an exceptional journey that we wish never to end , feelings of insert and emotion. It is unique to live that effect of having to paddle to the order of the raft guide when facing currents that will test us. Experiencing surfing in the river wave was amazing, as well as other attractions we made and I invite you to experience them just like ME. Definitely ARENAL RAFTING, here you have a new fan who will soon be back with her eldest son, so that you can also enjoy this beautiful adventure unmatched. I thank the whole team for their professionalism, which made this experience possible, Don Dani for his special treatment, our Raft guide Didier for making this tour Best of the Best, the other Raft guides Braulio and Luis Alvarez, the Kayak guys Mauricio and Luis Durán, driver Diego, Karla who prepared the exquisite lunch, Mariana in the Central Office for their recommendations and all the staff who collaborate with the transfer of the rafts, oars, vests and helmets, so that this adventure, will be unforgettable, thank you very much and I hope to return soon.
