Sarapique rafting class 4.

5.00Went rafting with my girlfriend. At first we didn’t know if we should pick class 3 or 4 since we both had little to no rafting experience. Eventually we went for class 4 and are really happy that we did. Can recommend to anyone with an adventurous spirit. Turned out to be once of the best activities we did in Costa Rica.
Fun and safe for our family

5.00We did this with a young family on an a private tour and had such a fun time. We felt very safe and had an excellent guide (Kiké) who was very passionate about the river and the wildlife. The kids loved it. Wear lots of suncream or ideally cover up as we burnt despite having suncream on.
Excellent Adventure!

5.00In addition to being experts in rafting, they make us observe lazy birds and iguanas. Tripping at the end for ladies from the 50s.
Couldn’t recommend this enough

5.00We have just done the rafting adventure and had a brilliant time. Everyone was so helpful, informative and fun to be with. We were really happy that this was a small local company, supporting the Sarapuqui local economy. We started before the big tour groups and finished after taking time to look at the wildlife and flora as well as enjoying the thrill of the water. Loved it, thank you!
Rafting with Diego on the Rio Sarapiqui is better than rafting in Slovenia on the Soca!

5.00We had a great time on the river. Diego is a very good guide. He gave clear instructions, showed us birds, turtles, iguana and answered our questions in detail. The rapids are great!!!
Pura Vida!

5.00What a fantastic experience! As newcomers to rafting, we have not felt unsafe for a moment. On the contrary, we had a great time and a good laugh. The jungle tour is for the most part very quiet, with a few more challenging parts, but here you are so well guided that you don't really have to think at any time. Highly recommended!
Great fun from aged 15 to 54
