We had a great tour with Daniel this week. It’s a bit of a drive to get to the rafting location but the journey passes through lovely countryside and goes very quickly. The rafting itself was great fun - periods of calm water and some rapids to get the heart beating! It was dry season when we visited so the water probably wasn’t as fast as in the rainy season but it didn’t take away from the experience- we really enjoyed it! It was just our boat with an expert guide plus another guide taking pictures from a canoe - and not only were the pictures and videos great, for once they were free which is really unusual. Daniel was a fabulous host - he’s speaks amazing English and is super helpful - even added an extra food stop for my hungry teenagers! Thank you!

I like to do white water rafting whenever I’m in a vacation! This time I had the opportunity to do and it was amazing, Rodrigo took us from our hotel and back! Very courteous & friendly! At 3 Rios we where taken care by a very knowledgeable guide! It was like a private because we where the only 2! After initial safety tips we did a 2 hour rafting that was category 2 -3 . It was a blast and have a lot of fun! Yes I recommend this tour

The rapids were amazing to go through even though it was the dry season. Guides were super fun and clearly loved what they do. Would love to come back during the rainy season to see how much crazier they get.

We did the rafting tour and it was very fun. The guide Rafael Cajá always very fun, and passing all his knowledge about the region, which further improved the experience. The rafting ride exceeded expectations, always with great safety, and guaranteed the adrenaline we expected. Already looking forward to the next!
