What 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!

This rafting tour was so much fun and the guides are really friendly and have good sense of humour. They also know a lot of the natures and also have an eye for the wildlife in Sarapiqui. Thank you guys for this great adventure.

If you are looking for rafting in Costa Rica, then look no further. We were lucky enough to take a rafting adventure with Walter and team through Rios. Thoroughly enjoyable experience. It's clear the whole team enjoy what they do, and made us feel totally safe whilst ensuring we had an amazing time. Strong recommendation for spending a morning or afternoon of your time in Costa Rica. Pura Vida 🤙

I did white water rafting with my husband and sons (age 14 and 16). This company are great. Walter and Joseph were very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and are experienced rafters. We felt very safe with them. I highly recommend this company.

It was a wonderful tour! The Rios Pura Vida kids were super professional and fun. The family had an incredible time. We laughed, got wet, had fun, jumped, ate delicious fruit, and everything was top-notch! We want to come back!

Can't recommend more! Small company that will help you pick the best option for you (even if you're with small kids like we did, 5 years old) and will give a hell of a ride, always feeling safe! 10/10
