11/10 I cannot recommend this family business enough. - The rafting was amazing. Our guide Sergio and other guides including Jason, Luis and Quan were so friendly, funny, skilled, knowledgeable, and happy to point out the toucans and monkeys we saw along the way. We were well briefed on how best to handle the big currents and felt incredibly supported and safe throughout the entire thrilling experience (and loved the pictures they took of us along the journey). We kept Sergio’s perfect streak of not falling out, due to his expertise and guidance. ———————————————————————— It’s also important to stress that this company Native’s Way Costa Rica, is the better of the two that operate on this river. They are cheaper, Costa Rican owned, employ locals, grant local scholarships and have an incredible ethos. Initially I tried to book with the other company, but they said they didn’t have enough customers this day and cancelled - yet we saw them on the river and they seemed less skilled than our guides. ———————————————————————— I also need to thank the owner Roy for his incredible support after I tripped over on land (I’m so clumsy and should’ve stayed in the water). He went above and beyond to look after me, including driving me to the hospital, staying to translate throughout doctor consultation and X-rays, and then taking me the one and a half hour drive back to my hotel. ———————————————————————— If you are on the fence you should absolutely book with this company - I cannot recommend the experience or the people enough. They are kind hearted, caring and will keep you safe and looked after no matter what.

Exhilarating! A must do experience in CR! - This rafting experience was a once in a lifetime adventure. We did the L3-4’s and it was exhilarating. The scenery was beautiful and the rapids very fun, albeit occasionally a bit scary. We were so fortunate to have Mario as our guide, as he eased any concerns we might have had. It was evident very quickly he knew that river extremely well and was prepared for anything. He also pointed out different kinds of trees and birds and made sure we paused long enough to get a good look at and pictures of a group of white faced monkeys! Ending the trip with a wonderful lunch was icing on the cake!

I had a great time. I've... - I had a great time. I've done white water rafting before in Bali (class 2 and 3). This one was a bit more exciting. There were a couple of good drops, especially the last one. I would recommend it!

Solo Raft Trip - The meet up location was easy to find, the staff were very knowledgeable and nice. I had a lot of fun and felt safe the whole time. I would definitely recommend this tour. My guides were Yeiner and Andre- they were both great. Yeiner was especially funny and very outgoing.

Wonderful day white water rafting! - My daughter and I went and this was SO fun! Junior was our guide and gave us clear instructions and made us feel comfortable! At first I wasn’t going to do the 10-12ft drop but I did and so fun! Don’t hesitate I was nervous but it was fun! Just do it! Great day on the Tenorio enjoying nature and wonderful food afterwards! Well organized operation!

My dad and I were nervous but we had a great guide named Jose who made sure we understand what to do before heading out and made the ride fun, interesting and very memorable! The whole experience from pickup and return by Giovanni and the lunch provided after was highly rated!! I highly recommend booking this tour!
