A perfect day on the river
David A,,Jul 9, 2025

5.00Jonathan and Douglas gave our family a memorable day out on the river. Even though we had booked a tubing day due to our kids being 7 and 9, they offered a combination of rafting and tubing. We were pleased because we had wanted to do rafting but none of the companies allowed it for younger kids. Ours are experienced adventurers so we had no worries. The day was beautiful, the rafting, tubing, jumping and floating were all fun and safe. The lunch was delicious and exceeded expectations. They spoke perfect English but also helped us to practice our Spanish which is always a nice bonus. The guys even gave us some insight into the area and restaurant recommendations. Highly recommended.
What a fun tubing trip!

5.00Great white water tubing trip. Our Guides Johnathan and his assistant were excellent helping us through the shallow areas and setting us for tubing down some nice shoots. Great lunch at the end of the trip. Highly recommend. Hope to come back for a white water raft trip.

5.00We had an amazing time rafting down the Pejibaye! Our guides were very funny and kept us laughing. The river-side picnic was delicious! It was a fun and unique adventure and we will definitely book again next time we are in Turrialba!
Best river tour for families with young children.

5.00Best option for families with young children! The river rapids were exciting and save (class 2-3). The beauty of the Pejibaye River was breath-taking. The food for lunch was fresh and exquisite. The guides were incredible. Jonathan and Leo guided our family of 5 (kids between 10 and 16), with solid safety procedures, extensive knowledge of flora and fauna, great sense of humor, and patience with the different levels of comfort of our family members. Jonathan focused on giving my timid daughter the chance to be courageous and develop self-confidence. We were happy to support a business fully owned and operated by locals. We can't wait to go back!
To do!

5.00We had a great day. Jonathan and his team Douglas and ethan are very friendly. Very professional. Very reassuring especially for our chip just 7 years old. They made us a good meal at the end of the descent. Real cool.

5.00Went rafting for the day, it was a lot of fun, great experience, excellent service, lovely people!!!
Best organized tour in town; run by locals. A must for class 2 rapid lovers with options for the less adventurous

5.00The best 1/2 day- tour you can do with teenagers (12-14-16 years) in class 1-2 rapids! Great organization through Jonatan and crew, big emphasis on water safety, great equipment (NRS-Tubes) and delicious lunch in the end- topped by lots of photograhs taken by the crew! A must do in Turrialba! We asked the owner Jonathan via the Turrialtours homepage / whatsup if there is a trip possibility and he responded within just a few minutes. The trip was very well organized; Jonatan had two other experienced safety kajakers with him and a driver to bring our gear. In the end the team prepared a fresh delicious lunch. The tour was spectacular and lots of fun with enough class 2 rapids to get splashes. Jonatan and his crew were adapting the tour to our individual possibilities- the less adventurous ones of us remained permanently attached to Jonatan, so they felt secure all the time :-) Lunch was just faboulous! Thank you great crew- you are amazing!!
