5/5 - White water rafting! :) - Amazing white water rafting on the Savegre River. The river itself is beautiful and the rapids were fun without feeling overwhelming. The staff were honestly the highlight of the whole experience — super friendly, professional, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable from start to finish. You can tell they really know what they’re doing and genuinely enjoy it. Would 100% recommend this to anyone visiting the area. Gracias por todos :)

Had a wonderful time - Went white water rafting today. The staff and guides were very enthusiastic and entertaining. Got to see a lot of the local families enjoying their time along the river. The drive there though really really sucked. It was very bumpy

Best whitewater rafting in Manuel Antonio! - We absolutely loved our Whitewater rafting experience with Amigos del Rio! On the drive to the Savegre river, our tour guide shared with us interesting facts about Costa Rica, including the palm tree industry. The whitewater rafting was so fun! The river was scenic and included Class II-III rapids. We stopped at a beautiful waterfall where the tour guides prepared a snack for us. After whitewater rafting, we came back to the office where we enjoyed a traditional Costa Rican lunch. 10/10 experience!

Great family friendly white water rafting - This was a great experience with my wife and 7 year old. My son had an absolute blast. The rapids are fun, but not too crazy.

100/10! Incredible experience! - Everything about our Amigos del Rio (ADR) whitewater rafting tour was incredibly professional, high quality, comfortable, safe, and welcoming. Our guides Luis, Kenneth, Alonso, Jason, and Pablo were knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, funny, and spoke English. We especially appreciated Luis’s introduction to the agriculture, economy, and wild plants of Costa Rica on the bus ride to the start of the rafting. He passed around various plants - culantro, cocoa beans, coffee beans, to name a few - and explained to us how they are grown and used. He was also our guide in our boat - it was him and the five people in my family - and he made it fun, exciting and safe the whole time. The river and its surroundings were gorgeous and pristine.
