This is simply a unique experience. Let your captain (we had Pablo - excellent) take you on a wondrous river journey, telling you stories all the way. This is what Errol Flynn used to do with all his lady friends - and we could see why. You'll go through 'Lover's Leap', a concealed stone formation under some willows where he... More

We went rafting on the Rio Grande after several days of significant rainfall, consequently the river was high. We were the only ones there as they had just opened the attraction. It was very safe and they provided life jackets due to the water level. My wife still talks about it with a sparkle in her eyes. It is a... More

This tour was inclusive in our honeymoon package at Rio Vista Villas (which is conveniently 5 minutes walk from Rafter's Rest) We left the rafting until the end of our holiday and picked a day with bright sunshine. It is best to go when it is sunny as a dull day will make it perhaps a bit chilly in the... More

We did not do this but thought would update the price. We were planning but decided not to due to the cost, which was recently increased to $70 or $75 per raft. More

It's about 3 hours from beginning to end. You sit back, relax, the Captain does it all. (Suggest you bring some padding for your seat though). It's a trip back in time if you just lose your mind. The fragrances are so aromatic, the greenery so lushicious thats it's really candy to your eyes. The Price is well worth it... More

The river was very swollen the day we visited so the trip took ony 1.5 hours instead of the usual 2.5 This was enough. The guides spoke to each other and did not converse much with us even when asked questions. The scenery was magnificent. The ticks were very active. The fare of 52 USD per 2 persons seems high...
