First Timer's Fun - This was my first time & loved it. The guides were so helpful (multilingual) & experienced. Lunch was great & I'm so glad I booked it.

100% recommended. Thank you very much Explonatura! - 100% recommendable! The guides Eduardo and Jose Luis were charming and were super attentive giving us all the necessary explanations both the initial security and the flora and fauna of the river as well as the life of the place, during the journey. We made the 25km descent in pair rafting thanks to a system installed by Jose Luis in which he could carry two oars at once and that made us enjoy the experience at full strength. Meanwhile Eduardo followed us on a Kayak, in case any rescue was necessary.
They also prepared us a delicious lunch by the river to rest. They were super punctual and allowed us to stay in a different place where we could park the car since after the rafting our plan was different from that of returning to Turrialba. As if that were not enough Eduardo had the detail of making us a couple of videos that he sent us at the end of the tour (at no cost).
I would definitely recommend this activity with this company. Thank you so much!

Experience you can't miss. Fun and security guaranteed - A very exciting experience in a beautiful environment, my partner and I had never rafted but the Guide was in charge of guiding us masterfully, making us feel safe at all times and enjoy it 100%. In addition to the masterclass on fauna, flora and indigenous people of the area.

BEST ACTIVITY IN COSTA RICA - At fist I was scared of doing the activity but from the first moment me and my friend met the staff, we got very relaxed. We have had a once in a lifetime experience, it has been super safe and super beautiful. We went through the jungle by the river and the views were outstanding. Our Guide Jose was very professional, he gave us directions of how to proceed throughout the tour on the boat and he also gave us the confidence to go for it. One of the highlights of the tour was the stop we made for lunch in the middle of the way, we ate burritos made with fresh local vegetables, chicken and guacamole and on top of it fresh pineapple and watermelon all cut and prepared on the spot.
We felt like we were friends with them, they gave us this unique experience and we didn’t fell like in some other places were you are just the money for them.
I have no words for this experience.
I want to thank the guides both Jose for such an unforgettable experience and for treating us sooo good.
Pura Vida!

Rafting RÃo Pacuare, fun, excitement, adventure! - This was our first time on this river, it was simply amazing! Our guide, Rodrigo from Peru, was just perfect! He made us all feel safe, while making it incredibly fun! He has so much knowledge about rafting and about the area. Very informative. I was concerned as it was just I and my three teens on the boat. I thought maybe this was not enough power to navigate the boat, but Rodrigo guided us wonderfully!

Unforgettable experience not to be missed! - An unforgettable experience with a very friendly and safe team.
The course is beautiful and we enjoyed it despite having little or no experience.
Less highlighted than other local activities but frankly we don’t regret a second even if the cost is a bit high, it seems right considering the safety offered and the quality of the attendants.
To do without hesitation with the Explornatura team!

Pacuare rafting masters - The experience is incomparable. The people at Exploranatura are simply impeccable in their work and are rafting artists. Everything was A1, the treatment, the guides, the experience. Besides, you fully experience the nature and beauty of the Pacuare River, where the guide not only helps you navigate but also explains the richness of the banks. Mega recommended

Family rafting - Thanks to Edouardo and Juan Luis for their welcome. We had a great time as a family. Private exit. The guide told us that we were passing level 3 because we were in the dry season. It was perfect emotionally.
We saw many birds and a sloth.
I recommend
