About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- B8599EHmarcoh0 contributionsGreat rafting time with familyAriel and Eddy took us on a very nice trip. The instruction at their home-base was fun and ensures we all understood the (safety) instructions. The Fonce river was enjoyable, Eddy was a great captain and made a lot of videos and pictures. We had plenty options to go for a swim. We saw several birds and leguanen. Most rapids were easy, some we really had to work together to get through. #Fun If you like rafting and want to have a nice experience I would definitely recommend ExploradoresWritten 25 July 2024

- EstherMannakkie0 contributionsAmazing experience!These guys are really professionals! They make sure that we had an amazing time on river Suarez! Rafting with them gives definitely you a energy boost. For us it was our first time rafting, but through them we got the opportunity to do level 4 and 5. Never felt unsafe in the boat. Our guide said: not good, don't swim!! So if you had the change to book this adventure I definitely recommend them!!Written 1 August 2023

- Odyssey625478660240 contributionsKayaking with the nicest instructorI've had an amazing experience doing kayaking with Exploradores Columbia. The instructor is knowledgeable and very kind. We had loads of fun in this 2 day activity. Day 1 was mostly for learning techniques, and day 2 was for applying them while going downstream. Oh, I should also mention a very nice local lunch that is included :)Written 3 November 2022
- brannium0 contributionsFantastic experience!We were rafting with two other guys, so we were 4 on a boat and our guide Jack was sitting in the back. He is a fun guy and guided us perfectly through the waves. We can really recommend this tour!Written 16 October 2022
- leroyk7380 contributionsGreat experience!This was easily the highlight of our San Gil trip. The days before going, rafting was impossible (too much water for safety) so we were in for a ride. The staff and safety instructions were top notch. We had experienced and first-timers and everybody seemed to have a great time. Very much recommend to go hereWritten 11 October 2022
- Rattyrattttt0 contributionsExcelente empresa muy enfocada en la seguridad de sus clientes.An unforgettable experience with a highly recommended company. My family and I were 6 people in total, out of which 3 were between 62 and 65 years old. It was really well-organised and very safe even for my parents who had never done this before. I reached out to the company through WA just 1 day before and Ariel responded very quickly to address my concerns. On the day itself, he was our guide and together with the driver and co-guide, we spent an amazing time in the river navigating the rapids and getting all wet. Ariel's instructions are super clear, his English is good, and most of all, he has safety as the number 1 priority. This was without a doubt, one of the best experiences in San Gil, and very suitable for people who want to try this activity in a safe manner. Good job, Ariel and team! Una experiencia inolvidable con una empresa super recomendable. Mi familia y yo somos 6 con 3 mayores de edad. El rafting fue super bien organizado y muy seguro incluso para las personas sin experiencia. Ariel, el guía y uno de los propietarios, tenía muy buena comunicación y siempre estaba pendiente de todo. Sin duda, fue una de las mejores experiencias para nosotros en San Gil. Recomiendo esta empresa para las personas que quieren intentar esta actividad de manera segura. Felicitaciones a Ariel y todo el equipo de Exploradores!Written 3 August 2022
- beardednomad0 contributionsAdventurous rafting!!!I had been to San Gil 2 years ago and rafted the Rio Suarez with another company but had heard great things about exploradores and glad that I did! Very professional guides and equipment and the safety briefing was very thorough. Guides were knowledgeable and quick to act when a few of us went over the side, and the experience brought us all together and we laughed about it later over our delicious lunch and beer. Couldn't have asked for a better day full of adventure and great times!!Written 9 February 2020
