Best water rafting in Savegre river - We had an amazing experience doing class IV rafting with Costa Rica tropical adventures.
It lasts about 2h and we had time to jump of a cliff and swim in some parts of the river. Definitely recommend them as they prioritize safety while making sure you have the best time and adrenaline rush the entire time of the activity.

A must do in Costa Rica! - Amazing tour guides and a great river. The rapids were just scary enough so we never felt unsafe and the guides did their best to make sure none of us fell in. Truly great experience.

3/4 Savegre Rafting Trip - Ruben and Landon were excellent. They were extremely professional and took time to ensure my wife and kids felt comfortable with the river trip. They were friendly, patient and ensured a once in a lifetime experience. We even got to see a boa constrictor hanging on a tree as we completed our trip. Like they say, Pura Vida!

1st time, had a blast. - Thank you so much for taking the time and patience allowing me to enjoy the experience of white water rafting. Being disabled and doubtful I’d have the opportunity to go and you assured me everything would be fine and it was. Thanks again my friend and was a pleasure meeting your staff as well. I’ll be back..

We loved this tour! - We had a great day on this tour. Damian and his team were brilliant! None of us had done it before, I was definitely a bit nervous, but he made us feel safe and taught us what to do. Very long drive to where we needed to get in the river but so worthwhile! We got very wet, but managed to stay in the boat! A pit stop at a waterfall, with toucans and kingfishers on route. Then cookies and pineapple for snacks followed by a quick stop for Casado on the way home finished the day perfectly, we were exhausted. Looking forward to downloading the photos when we get home ( extra charge but worth it!) totally recommend!

Best rafting adventure of our lives! - We had the absolute best time with Damian on our rafting trip. He re-directed us to a different river due to the water levels and the fact that we had driven 3.5 hours to get there, and we were not disappointed! We could not have had a better rafting experience. We were even able to jump out and swim down the river a bit!! Damian is so knowledgeable about the flora and fauna we saw as well as the wildlife. We loved the personal attention we received. The trip was a major highlight during our vacation in Costa Rica. I highly recommend Costa Rica Tropical Adventures to anyone looking for a fantastic adventure. We will definitely return!

The Perfect Wedding Party Adventure! - A highlight of our trip! We organized this tour as a pre-wedding activity for a group of 20 of our Manuel Antonio destination wedding guests. Everyone had so much fun with both the rafting and the waterfall stop, and the scenery was unbelievable as we were rafting through tall hills of jungle greenery. The rafting was perfect for our group because it was just enough thrill without being too risky feeling. There were even points that we took advantage of the ability to jump out of the boat and float/swim through some smaller rapids. Also, the guides were fun and friendly, and provided so much information for us about the history of the area and pointed out wildlife along the way, so that even the drive up to the put in spot was a treat. Among other wildlife, we saw scarlet macaws and a basilisk lizard (aka Jesus Christ lizard). The tour ended with a delicious typical Costa Rican meal while we got to watch some of the world cup. Couldn't have picked a better company to share our wedding festivities with!
