Exhilarating experience - The guides at the rafting company are superb. They have so much knowledge not just on keeping you safe but about the wildlife life and the forest. Rafting through the rainforest was an amazing experience. The fruits and lunch was yummy.

Great company, fun rapids! - This company was great. The shuttle picked us up from our hotel and then picked up other passengers at the main facility. Although there many groups and buses from the company as a whole at the same rafting spot, it was organized! Our guide jhonny was great! He was funny and engaging. The rapids themselves were super fun without being scary. Highly recommend this company!

Fresh fruits bonus! - It was so much fun to go rafting.I enjoyed it because it was so exciting when we saw animals while getting soaked. I also enjoyed going rafting because the guests get to enjoy eating fresh fruit (🍍 🥭🍉) (pineapple, mango, and, watermelon) to recharge their energy after exercising.🤗

good family fun rafting - We had a great time rafting on the Balsa River with Arenal Rafting Company. They were very organized in every way. which made it very low effort for me and my family. They stopped at spots along the river to point out wildlife, and had a fruit break about midway down the river. Our guides (Victoria and Melvin) were friendly and helpful and made sure we had a good time.

Rafting Costa Rica - A Must Do in the Arenal Region - This was a great trip!! The tour company - Rafting Costa Rica was excellent. The guides were super friendly and very helpful and went out of their way to ensure we had a great time! This is a great white water trip for the moderately adventurous - all class 2s and 3s which provided a good deal of fun! The only negative think I would say is we wish the trip didn’t end so quickly. I would highly recommend this river and, most importantly, this tour company. Ask for Christian if you can - he was the best! We enjoyed the trip so much that we are thinking about doing a rafting trip on the American River on the west coast of the US as it is run by the same company. We had a chance to meet the owner who went out of his way to help us with a special request - just a great experience!
