Reserved and paid for the class 4/5 rapids trip ... but they took us on the class 3 trip instead. Perhaps they didn't have enough other participants? In any case, we were greatly disappointed ... especially since they never warned us or explained the swap.

Well worth it. The guys are very professional. Picked up from my hostel. Needed a photo copy of my passport for registration and don’t wear flip flops as they may not come back with you. Fun and friendly crew explained all the necessary instructions before setting off which puts everyone at ease and after that the rapids, the river and everyone inboard made for a great experience. Highly recommend.

I am convinced that this is a unique and unrepeatable experience so you should emphasize ENJOYMENT and ENJOYMENT, of course, without leaving out security. Before and after the activity as such, include stretching, joint mobility. A pre-warm-up and a little post-stretching.

We had an amazing time kayaking the Fonce river and rafting the Suarez the following day. Ariel was very professional and accommodating. Rafting the Suarez was the best whitewater rafting I have ever experienced. Ariel speaks English well so communication was easy. He has an excellent knowledge of the river for navigating and knowing when to go. I highly recommend rafting with his company, he was a delight to work with over the trip. If you are traveling in Colombia do yourself a favor and visit San Gil and book a trip, you won't regret it. Looking forward to my next trip with him!

We were two friends with experience on the river. We contract with Colombia rafting expeditions. We found it a spectacular experience. The river was half high. According to them at their optimum level. Very good guides who made us enjoy a safe and fun descent. We went two rafts with two safety kayaks. The guide made us enjoy, explained the quick one by one and guided the raft perfectly through the safest lines. An impressive, safe and very fun activity. Thank you.

The guides were so amazing. They give you a lesson and practice before you go to make sure everyone is safe. I felt so safe with the guides and even when I fell in the river, Following all safety instructions, I was pulled back up and had an experience of a lifetime! Thank you so much for showing us the Rio Suarez!

What a great experience! 🤩 pure adrenaline! The Team was great and it was an adventure of a lifetime for me. Only thing that can be improved is communication. Apparently there are high chances thats its too dangerous in Novermber, because there is too much water on the rivers and the event gets cancelled! That should be communicated early in my opinion. Also you should wear long shorts, you need to step through meter high grass. Watershoes would have been also very useful. Maybe those information can be shared uprfont in the future. Nevertheless I am super happy that I was able to make this experience even though it was 2 days delayed due to the weather conditions 🥰
