White Water Rafting: Class III and IV on The Tenorio River

We thoroughly enjoyed our whitewater rafting tour. Even if you are not experienced, you will enjoy the Class III/IV trip. Our guides, Jason and Sam, were fabulous and made this a memorable experience! Highly recommend!!

Such a fun and exciting experience! While we were nervous leading up to the rafting, our guide, Jorge, did an incredible job calming our nerves and keeping us laughing all the way through! We got to see toucans, monkeys, iguanas, fish, herons, and a snake! There are a few drops, but none are anything scary or to be worried about (as someone with a fear of heights). We even got to see a waterfall and swim under it for a few minutes! If possible, we’d recommend going in a smaller group as the guides can make the experience more personal. Great time!

Was a great experience! Owner was great to work with, lunch was good and rafting and guides were amazing! Would definitely recommend!!

Absolutely recommend this trip on the Tenorio River, Have done similar river class trips in the Canadian Rockies and near La Fortuna CR as well. We were lucky enough to be picked up from our accommodation by the owner, Danny, who gave us such an enjoyable informative drive there and back. A proud Costa Rican who has such knowledge of the geology, environmental guidelines, and wildlife of the area. We loaded into the back of a covered open air truck where us and 10 others had a short drive to the river. My husband and I were put on a raft with Jose and Justin - both so friendly. Jose sure has an eye for spotting wildlife along the way, We saw monkeys, iguanas, a snake, parrots, toucans, and fish. Jose and Justin maneuvered us around and over the most rocky and narrow river we've ever rafted. One spot was too narrow so we portaged a short distance. We had so much fun with the rapids and getting wet! The trip ended with snacks and beverages, and then a 45 minute rough drive to the highway. We were provided with a delicious chicken, fish or pork lunch complete with ice tea and dessert at RCR's families restaurant along the highway. Thank-you for a wonderful day!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ NO NEED TO BE SCARED! FIRST time EVER doing anything like this and I was solo an 58 years old. The tour last about two hours. There are a lot of slow things. They ease you into the white order. Americans, who are thinking of the Roberto was incredible—funny, strong, capable, and with a great sense of humor. He made our tour unforgettable and kept us smiling the whole way. All the guides were fantastic, and the owner was very knowledgeable. The photos matched exactly what was promised. If you book a tour, ask for Roberto—he’s a true standout! NO crashes, famous turnovers, and things like that - no need to be scared here there is a little bit heart palpitations, but they absolutely work youinto this slowly. Very clean water saw wildlife. Extra tips wear long shorts or capri pants. Wear sunscreen on your legs and any exposed part of your skin. Thanks Vanessa at Cabanas Koi Retreats and Tica and Gringa Adventures for this suggestion!

We had a great time and everyone on the team was very friendly from start to finish. Although we got stuck on the rocks a couple of times the “captain” quickly got us moving. Lots of fun. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful time with our river guide Jason. He was extremely entertaining & knowledgeable guide who made sure our experience was memorable. The rapids were fun & exciting. The food at the end was also super tasty.

4 couples. Our trip down the river with Roberto ("Rob" or "Lalo") and his team was so fun and exciting. We enjoyed having their expertise on the trip, and their comedic personalities added to the adventure. HOWEVER, about 15 minutes after we left the meeting point, our car was broken into and we were robbed of all our cash, cell phone and credit cards. Shortly after the theft, the cards were used to purchase THOUSANDS worth of merchandise. Someone knows their operation and that we would be out of sight and out of touch for hours. To be fair, Rob and his associate helped us tremendously with the local police report since they could translate English to Spanish on our behalf, and this was very appreciated. Security is needed.

Descending the river safely and especially with the good humor of Roberto who took the time to explain the local flora and fauna. It was a lot of fun and the little fall at the end is a lot of fun. 100% recommended
