We had a group of 7 and booked our trip back in May for the premium rooms with Melissa (see website for pictures and description). We confirmed our reservations with Melissa a week before we left for the premium rooms and she confirmed them. After we arrived, our rooms were really disappointing. They were nothing like the photos - in... more

This rafting trip was one of the best. We went on a three day trip that not on only included rafting but a day of horse back riding (extra) and hiking. I was a lot of work but is was great fun. I might and Tito and Johnny were excellent cooks. more

My husband & I booked a one-day rafting trip with Rios Tropicales for our honeymoon and absolutely loved it! We used them back in 2005, so I'll try to recall the best I can. They picked us up from Hotel Grano de Oro in San Jose in the time range they said they would and we took a long bus... more

My daughter elected to go white water rafting for her high school graduation trip. We chose the Pacquare River after checking several travel sites. We chose Rios Tropicales based on the reviews on Trip Advisor. Two adults and two teenagers were on our trip. The positives - The rafting and the guides are great. Ask for Christian. The grounds are... more

Did the 3 day Pacuare river rafting. Everything was fantastic - picked up on time, guides were professional and friendly. Pacuare river is one of the best I've rafted. The river lodge was very comfortable - river guides cooked all our meals (the best we had in Costa Rica), took us on hikes and zip lining (all inclusive). Highly recommended. more

My friends and I took the one day trip on the Pacuare River. The guides were personable and funny and safety was stressed appropriately. I had researched this company and they had won some National Geographic Awards as outfitters. All in all, we had a great day, and the food they served was quite tasty as well! more

Rios Tropicales Pacuare River 2 day trip, March 22 & 23, 2009. We were picked up at the Hampton Inn near the airport in San Jose for a 2ish hour trip to the launch point. After breakfast and orientation we were off on our rafting trip. There were only 2 rafts with four passengers (and one guide) so we had... more

We did the three day trip and found it to be just perfect. Driver was on time and the guides were great. We felt safe on the rapids and they were wonderful hosts once at the lodge. Their names were Luis and Otto and both were just fantastic people. We found that our three day was perfect because it gave... more

We've used Rios Tropicales twice to raft the Pacuare, and enthusiastically recommend them for anyone else. There is a great emphasis on safety--the guides take it VERY seriously--but it's also the most fun you can have in a short time period. Note that you don't have to stay in San Jose to use them. If you're staying anywhere on the... more
