So much fun and worth every penny!! - This was our 10 year anniversary and Arenal Rafting made it one to remember!!! From Ramon picking us up from our hotel to our very charismatic and fun rafting guide, the mid paddle fresh local fruit snack, and traditional Costa Rican Lunch! We couldnt have asked for anything more!! We also did the combo with ATV's on the Arenal Volcano. Our guide Harvey was excellent and even showed us the most dangerous snake in Costa Rica, the Eyelash Viper! Thank you to everyone involved for making our special day the MOST special day!!!

Incredible!! - It was our first time white water rafting and it was absolutely fantastic! We had so much fun with our guide, and excellent teacher, Gonzalez. His enthusiasm and cheerfulness on the water rubbed off on us, and we’d love to go again!

White water rafting - Fantastic experience today with Arenal Rafting. Our raft guide Jason was great; really knowledgeable about the wildlife and the area, and fun, and felt like he was in control of raft the whole time. The transport guys also great and stopped to show us a low hanging sloth. Highly recommend.

Great experience with Fox! - It was an unforgettable experience and the whole family had a great time (2 adults and our children aged 14 and 11). Everyone very friendly and helpful. Our Guide Alejandro (Fox) accompanied us throughout the raft as he explained the different species of animals and flora that could be seen during the activity. Fox gave us a great time, we dropped the rapids safely while intense! We had a great Guide and a 100% recommended experience!

River rafting - Yader was an amazing tour guide! He made rafting so fun and a complete experience! Would definitely do it again! We did a 2/3 tour and it was just enough splashing with getting to observe the wild life.

Must do!! - Definitely one of the best rafting trips we’ve ever been on, also one of the best on our trip to Costa Rica overall. Highly recommend. Staff was amazing. One daughter was scared and they were so extremely nice to her. Carlos Rosales was an excellent guide and made the trip so much better. I’m so glad we decided to do this trip and can’t recommend it enough. From beginning to end we had a great time. Lunch was also delicious. 10/10
