The experience was definitely my favorite in Costa Rica. Our tour guide Jose Luis explained everything clearly and was very experienced (more than 20 years!), so we felt safe and taken care of.
The views you get down the river are just breathtaking, I would recommend this to anyone.
I should say it is a physical activity and you should be prepared to put effort into it.
Best Adrenalin Kick Ever

If you are looking for a whitewater rafting tour on Pacuare, choose this company! Our two guides were the best, super friendly and funny. They took safety very serious, while still being super funny and joking around. I loved the fact that the guide in our boat constantly said "Paddle, please!, Stop, thank you!" It really made a difference and you tried to do your best job possible =D
We had the best time, and for lunch, we got a delicious wrap and fresh fruits, all freshly prepared for us on the river bank. If you are looking for an adventure, book this trip!
A Boat Load of Fun

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.
Great tour on the Rio Pacuare

This was the MOST INCREDIBLE thing we did in Turrialba! The guides were kind, and focused on safety... as well as fun. The rapids were both exhilarating, calm, and educational! And the lunch was everything you could hope for! If you do one thing in Turrialba, book this with Explornatura!
Amazing Experience - Highly recommend

my husband and I loved every minute and we are both close to 70 years old. Special thanks to our guide Jose Louis who made the trip safe and so much fun.- he knows the river like the back of his hand and gave us all sorts of interesting facts about the area. Also to Edwardo for kayaking beside us the entire way - he has mad skills!! Thanks also to our driver (sorry didn't catch name) for getting us there and back home safely.
Great rafting experience

Very friendly and experienced guides. Made sure we stayed safely inside the raft when necessary. Beautiful river and scenery. Answered my many questions with good humor. Trips tailored to each individual.
a beautiful and adventurous day

We booked our rafting (a bit last minute) and enjoyed every minute of it.
We came from the direction of Limon so ExploreNatura were really helpful and proactive. We could meet directly at the start point (was an hour less to drive for us) and they picked up our luggage so our luggage wasn’t left alone the whole day in the car. That was already a good start for us.

Really a 10/10 for their organisation. Our guides Henry (Ninja) and José Louis were so friendly, helpful, motivated. Everything you search for adventurous day without any stress!

It was my first time rafting and they explained every step so well.
The lunch was delicious and the whole tour is just wonderful!

Certainly recommend this company and the guides ;) to anyone who is in for a beautiful and adventurous day!
