Top Central Valley White Water Rafting

"Rob was our guide and made the experience!! Very knowledgeable about the river, plants and animals. One of the best tours. Everyone was professional and as a whole so easy. If you want to go on an adventure this is a MUST!!!!"

"It was great from the pick up to the drop off. Amazing guide Jean Carlos! Overall amazing experience"

"Being experienced rafters you never know what you’re going to get when you do a excursion but I have to say this one was awesome. If you can go with Alex he is the Abello of the group but he is awesome"

"My Grandson (14) and I throughly enjoyed rafting on the Balsa River with the Arenal Rafting Company. Our guide, Alex, was the absolute best. I would highly recommend this adventure."

"Our guide Pablo was excellent! The rafting was fabulous and the weather was perfect. You couldn't ask for a better experience."

"Very informative tour , If you are a coffee drinker this is for you. Take the tour in the morning you ll have coffee and chocolates tasting!"

"This tour was amazing! The view of the river was stunning and our tour guide Yancy took us to an area where we could see the gradient of the colour changing which looked spectacular. We also saw a range of animals including monkeys. On our way back our tour guide stopped along the road to show us some sloths - definitely one of the highlights of our trip!! I would highly recommend this tour and also requesting Yancy."

"This was I had always imagined Costa Rica to be. Every aspect of this place is heaven on earth. A MUST place to visit when you come!"

"Our family (two adults and 14 and 16 yr old) had a great time. I felt very safe. Gerald was patient and made me feel confident. I recommend this tour!"

"It was a blast. The guides where fantastic. Juan gave us a ride we will never forget. He was an amazing tour guide."

"Very well organised, super kind and knowledgable guides & a lot of fun! Simply had a great time! Thanks a lot :)"

"Had a wonderful time with Mario as captain of our ship...he's fun and knows what he's doing. I recommend this experience when you come to La Fortuna, you'll have a blast."

"Absolutely amazing staff and tour guides. Even with the weather raining and cloudy it was still an incredible experience."

"Fabio was an expert guide, who knows every detail of the River. He helped us hit each rapid just right. And kept us laughing all the way. Fernando kept watch in the rescue kayak just in case something went wrong. We had a great experience, and really enjoyed the beauty of the River, and exotic birds and butterflies. And seeing the indigenous people and their architecture. Thanks for a boat load of fun had by all."

"Amazing rafting tour. As we were doing the rafting tour in April, at the end of the dry season, the water level was relatively low. Nonetheless we had an exciting tour and it was totally worth it. All guides were very friendly, speak good English (useful in our case as our Spanish does not suffice) and have pointed out several typically Costa Rican animals, among which is the Toucan. The Sarapiqui Outdoor Center has changing rooms and restrooms. After the tour we got towels and we were brought back to the Outdoor Center. Once there, a nice fruits meal had already been prepared. Perfect service!"

"It was a great experience. All the staff was very knowledgeable trained and made you feel safe for canyoning as well rafting. We had Arturo for canyoning, he was superb, and we had Brian for rafting and he was the best - gave us the option to get off the raft and swim in class I tides, make little tricks having us stand up and paddle, he even made me and my boyfriend pose the titanic style lolol. We enjoyed every single moment of both the experience!!"

"Rafting was excellent, was a beginner and felt completely safe. Fantastic tour, would definitely recommend"

"We had a fun and thrilling time on the water! Our guides were friendly, personable, and experienced. Got to see wildlife along the way. Lunch and fresh fruits were yummy. From start to finish our guide, Francisco, made sure we were having fun!"

"It was our first time white water rafting and they made us feel at ease. We had a lesson before getting in water and then we were off. This was probably my favorite thing we did while in Costa Rica"

"It was an absolutely amazing tour. Full of thrills. We loved the combo tour of both rappelling and Rafting"

"We had the best day doing the class V rapids on Sarapiqui with Orlando! I cannot say enough positive things about him. The rapids were a blast but we never felt unsafe. He knows the river and was an excellent guide. He also provided cultural knowledge throughout the day and after the rafting trip, and showed us around the farm behind the company. We got to hold baby goats, crushed sugar cane, and took shots of moonshine together. We would highly recommend this excursion to anyone who is adventurous! And shout outs to Giancarlos (Rasta) and Gustavo!"

"Actually we landed up white water rafting our guide as Mario. A great and memorable experience. Stopped at One point for a swim and to snack on water melon and pineapples prepared by the guides. Highly recommend this tour"
