What To Expect

The Packraft on Tres Amigos River is an exciting 4-hour adventure designed for both adults and children. Your guide will pick you up at your hotel, and after a 35-minute drive, you’ll arrive at the beautiful Tres Amigos River. Here, you’ll receive professional gear and a safety briefing before a short practice in the water. You’ll then embark on a unique journey through class II and II+ rapids, enjoying stunning scenery and calm water pools where you can jump in and swim. Halfway through the activity, you’ll be offered a tropical fruit snack before continuing the adventure. What makes this activity unique is the experience of navigating through rapids and currents in your own kayak, enjoying an unparalleled sensation as you glide over the crystal-clear waters. It’s a safe, adrenaline-filled activity, unlike anything else in the region, allowing you to connect closely with nature in a setting that would otherwise be inaccessible.

Just did a Packrafting tour and it was absolutely AMAZING!! If you love whitewater rafting, kayaking, or are looking for a challenge- don’t even think twice and book this! A perfect blend of adrenaline and relaxing in between rapids, with a super knowledgeable and skilled guide, you’ll feel safe no matter what! We also saw an abundance of beautiful river birds, an iguana, a toucan, and even a few howler monkeys in the distance! Riding waves has never been more fun. Don’t think twice and book this tour! Pura Vida 🤙🏄🏻‍♀️
Great day!

Aletto was a great guide and instructor. We loved doing something off the beaten tourist track. We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the water and would highly recommend to others! We were also happy the weather cooperated. It just rained lightly for about an hour.
Definitely a must do!

What a great adventure. Aletto was our guide on the river. He provided excellent instruction and assistance. We had never used inflatable kayaks or experienced so many rapids but as 60+ travelers we made it. Aletto was also shared great information about the river, wildlife, birds, trees, etc. We really really enjoyed getting away from the typical tourist spots.
Best guides!

We came from South Dakota and if you’re looking for an unforgettable experience in Costa Rica, this is it. Alex and team provided an amazing adventure. They catered the trip to your experience level. The packrafts felt safe and easy to handle, perfect for any level.The experience was the perfect mix of thrilling and chill. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore Costa Rica. If you’re into outdoor adventure and the beauty of nature, this packraft company is an absolute must! Highly recommend!
The BEST adventure!

We had the absolute BEST time today! Alex and Javi were our guides on the river and it was just amazing! So many fun rapids, beautiful sites to see. Just a gorgeous day and a great trip. There were so many times that I got my raft stuck and Javi would be right there to rescue me. And he always said “it’s my pleasure!” Love him! I highly recommend this trip to anyone, it was SO MICH FUN! Alex took pictures along the way but I forgot to get them from him so I hope you can have him contact me!
A small company with a big heart.

A fun, informative paddle down the river, with Alex, a super friendly, knowledgeable guide. A delicious meal to end the trip. And a great conversation with both Alex and his partner, Andras, about their company philosophy, and how they want tourism to benefit as many people as possible.
