Water rafting Pacuare river

Our tour guide Christopher explained interesting things including the way to paddle the rafting. My family and I had a good time.
Excellent adventure in Pacuare River

This is most definitely worth the money because, firstly the hotel pick up which saves you the scramble of getting to a bus station etc. However, the most important is the river itself. Wow, what a wonder of nature. When you're not going through exhilarating rapids--there's one after another--you're gazing at beautiful nature in all its glory, from gorgeous rainforest to spectacular waterfalls. The sounds of cicadas is almost deafening. If you're faint of heart, this is not for you.
At around the halfway point, there is a very simple but delicious lunch, prepared by your guide and his cohorts.
If you're an English speaker, hopefully you'll get Kenneth, whose English is not only excellent, but he's very engaging, friendly and knowledgeable.

This was one of my favorite experiences. From pick up to drop off everything went smooth. Our guide Charlton was so nice and knowledge. The van was comfortable with AC and the rafting itself was so much fun (slow at first then fast/fun). The meals provided were good and our rafting guide Fernando was fantastic. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Great Tour !!! Super safe !!

Thrilling experience and gorgeous views

White water rafting in the Pacuare River was one of our most memorable experiences in Costa Rica. The views of the jungle from the river are gorgeous and unlike any sights we could admire by hiking alone. We saw various small waterfalls flowing into the river, the rapids were super fun, and the calm portions of the river were perfect for a short swim. Although I am not a strong swimmer, and the rapids were class IV due to the rainy season, the guides are highly trained and constantly checking that it is safe to raft down the river. Shoutout to Nacho for making our experience safe and enjoyable! 10/10 would recommend this and the beautiful photos they take as you raft down the river.
Picturesque

The experience was truly wonderful. The guides, both while rafting and during the bus ride (there & back), we’re incredibly knowledgeable and energetic. We went during the dry season, so the water was much lower. If you’re looking for a fun time and lots of beauty, and a little less thrill this is the trip for you! Be warned, however, during the more rainy season it is likely to be a bit more dangerous. Altogether, this was a truly unforgettable experience. Breakfast and lunch were delicious. There are many spots to hop in the river, relax, and enjoy the picturesque view. Would 10/10 recommend!
Great Day

The drive was quick and easy, our rafting guides were great and personable. If I made sure to reapply sunscreen as the day went on, I would go again. Great scenery while rafting and tons of fun going down the river. Would recommend everyone try it when they come to Costa Rica.
Beautiful

Amazing day trip! We have been greeted by Christofer, really kind person who set up the spirit and told us a lot about the region and nature on our way to rafting. We were rafting with Diego and Simon and had a lot of fun
Well organized and fun day on the Pacuare river. Plan for a long driving day.
Christopher_A, 28-12-2022
The rafting trip and lunch on the Pacuare River were great. The guides are super friendly. The water is not too cold. Both breakfast and lunch were provided... The breakfast stop (eggs, rice & beans, plantain, toast, coffee) on the way there was a good rest stop during the drive. The lunch stop was a nice break about two thirds way through the rafting. Having only done rafting in the western US, where it is mostly rocky, we were really impressed by how green and lush everything is.
NOTE: It's a lot of driving to get there from San Jose and back. Pick up from hotels in San Jose took almost an hour... then its maybe 3 hours to the river. The roads are winding and slow. We were picked up at 6:00am and were dropped back off at 6:30pm. We were pretty spent and done with the driving at the end of the day.
