10/10 - absolute must-do and perfect for a beginner - This tour was sooooooooo fun. I have no complaints whatsoever. Everything was perfect - the transportation (roundtrip) was on time, they fed us a delicious Costa Rican breakfast along with lunch. Most people in my group were first timers at rafting, including myself. We all did well even on the lll & llll grades - under the direction and expertise of the guide. You have to pay attention at all times, the water moves rapidly. If you can do that, you'll be fine. It was so fun I almost booked the tour a second time. I would love to do this again. 10/10.

Excellent Rafting Trip - Excellent rafting tour. Professional, on time, and fun. This is not to be missed if you enjoy nature. Our tour guide, Robert, was great. He had fun personality and balanced it with fun and adventure. He also spotted many animals from afar and told us so many great things about the river. I learned a lot about Costa Rica. Well done!

Awesome experience! - I went by myself but they put me with a group and it was fun! Our tour guide was clear with instructions and all went well. I do recommend to take water shoes (since you are going to be wet) and rash guard to protect yourself from sun. Overall, it was an awesome experience!

Bucket List Experience - Loved every second. I've always wanted to try this and it did not disappoint. The water was warm, the guides were extremely friendly. The scenery was beautiful and the rapids were perfect intensity. They also provided pickup and drop-off with food included. It was a great day and I'd happily do it again.

Great Day on the Pacquare River/Whitewater Rafting. - From beginning to end it was a great day! The rafting is mindblowingly beautiful. The gorges are amazing! The wildlife sightings were an added bonus. Great Bfast to start, which is good, since the length is about 20 miiles of river. Be prepared for a work out! But all worth it! Lunch and transport back- was all timed. It’s a long fay. Pace yourself. Our river guide Kay and all the guys are super informed and fun! I would, I will be back to do it again.
