Amazing Rafting Experience - We were 6 colleagues doing a team-building and Rio Adventure suggested us the White Water Rafting at Paraibuna River which was an excellent recommendation. Everything from start to finish was excellent that being: - Tailormade service by attendants on WhattsApp - Great driver who was timely and extremely friendly and speaking both English and Portuguese - Excellent crew at the rafting place who were educated and professional and knew everything about the area and the River (and not least the rafting itself) - The base camp was well equipped with lockers, showers and a great view of the river - The lunch included was excellent - The rafting itself was amazing and it can be done by most people due to the great instructors on the tour Everything went exactly as described and planned and we could not have been more satisfied with the service and the experience - it was awesome!!

Water rafting in Rio - Very good experience overall, the staff was very welcoming, equipment was in excellent conditions and they have plenty for everyone and they demonstrated they knowledge of the river, even when the river level only created a level 2/3 for the rafting they knew the points where to create excitement and increase the fun. Definitely recommend!

Chill river outing - Super smooth experience from pick up outside hotel out to 3 Rios! Rafting guides and driver were all super friendly. Rafting itself is super safe and mellow, recommend for a fun day outside with a nice river swim included. Food + drinks included after the rafting.

Great experience - Great day out white water rafting in the mountains a couple hours out of Rio, very friendly instructors - the guy who headed the raft only spoke Portuguese but the company put an English speaking guide on the rafter as well so we were fully involved - would recommend!
