About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- marinakL7716ZY0 contributionsLoved it!What a beautiful and thrilling river!! Mau and Jason were great guides and took some nice pictures for us too. We learned some new skills and had a blast!Written 22 February 2025
- markgY7494CZ0 contributionsFantastic rafting experience near Manuel antonioThe van with our guide, Mao, picked us up on time at our airbnb in Manuel Antonio (Loma Linda, also highly recommended. Sonia hooked us up with this river rafting trip). We drove around an hour or so to the mountains and Mao was an amazing guide: he pointed out numerous interesting plants and animals along the way, and was diligent in reviewing safety protocols for the raft and coordinating our rowing efforts. We had perfect weather too. There was a delicious snack of pineapple, plantain chips and cookies at a triple waterfall, and lunch was also included at the end. The only downside was the additional employee in a kayak who went ahead of us and positioned himself at two of the larger rapids to take pictures, none of which came out. From pickup to drop off was around 6 hours. Highly recommended!Written 6 February 2025
- Karen111220 contributionsSoooo much fun!We had a blast rafting with Anthony. He’s personable, funny and kind - and he eased my nervousness before departure. He gave us lessons and a chance to practice before getting into the rapids. The rafting itself was a perfect mix of exhilarating and calm water in a beautiful setting. The stop at the waterfall with fruit and cookies was the icing on the cake. We couldn’t recommend this tour more highly. If you are an experienced rafter, you may want rougher water, but for us it was absolutely perfect! And lunch afterwards was delicious. Totally a fun day. You will get wet!!! 😂 Go with Anthony - he’s the best!!Written 31 January 2025
- andresaK1354IZ0 contributionsExitingExiting enough but not that crazy for first timers like me. The pace is fast so need to be ready to follow the guide's commandsWritten 2 January 2025
- Elad D0 contributionsBest experience in Costa Rica. Do not miss!!!This was the most incredible experience. The crew was amazing and super friendly and our kids and us LOVED it! It was fun, exciting and the most beautiful river with gorgeous views. It is not too rough but exciting enough so the kids feel like they did something cool. We stopped in the middle to swim in a refreshing waterfall and have snacks and drinks. Excellent experience will definitely do that again!Written 2 January 2025
- Abi J0 contributionsWWR - great fun, excellent company & guides.Maurillo and Louis were excellent tour guides, we felt very safe and well looked after. The experience was great fun, however, as we had never been before we chose the lower grade but it was a little too tame for us, but still good fun. If we had chosen grade 3/4 this would have been 5 stars for sure. For anyone looking for more adrenaline, choose grade 3/4. I would 100% use this company again.Written 28 December 2024
- ivaz3250 contributionsWater rafting fun!We are so happy we booked this water rafting tour with Mau and Jason! It was just us and it was so much fun! Mau stayed with us on the boat while Jason hoped in the kayak and ensured we are safe while rafting. We felt good all the way and even when I fell off the boat 😂 We were in good hands with Jason and Mau as they are super experienced and know their stuff! Cannot recommend this tour enough, a must do while visiting Quepos / Manuel Antonio area!Written 14 December 2024
- G654VJmatthewa0 contributionsHighly recommendedWe had an amazing time - challenging (but not too difficult) at times, but still had some spots to relax and take in the scenery. The guides were great - friendly and informative, and even stopped on the drive back as they spotted some monkeys, a sloth and macaws.Written 24 November 2024
- GauchoSac0 contributionsUnforgettable experience, we'll repeat for sure.What an experience, it was awesome. Our guide Mau was excellent and knowledgeable of the river, and our safety Noni showed extreme skills when I fell off the raft, he rescued me and helped me to safety and back on the raft. They picked us up punctually and provided an unforgettable experience. We'll be back for sure.Written 11 July 2024
- LaurenS160 contributionsGreat dayAmazing day!! The landscape was beautiful. The waterfall stop to swim was magical there were some horses that were there and we got to pet them. We at a snack by the waterfall. Our guides Jonathan and Joshua were knowledgeable, funny and kind. They taught us about the local culture and plants and kept us comfortable and safe. The rapids were fun and there were some calmer sections of the river we got to jump in and swim in. Highly recommend.Written 1 July 2024
- pcm5010 contributionsBest Adventure in Manuel Antonio!My friend and I had the most thrilling white water experience on the river with Noni as our guide! He made us feel safe as we rode the rapids - was very attentive to safety, which we appreciated! You get plenty of water in your face, but it was what we expected, and it was exhilarating! Nice snack break, too! Buy the pics for $20 from Joshua - who was our safety kayaker and photographer riding along for safety assist if needed! Loved it. Just do it! We are in our 60s.. and handled it fineWritten 1 July 2024

- J9942KSdavido0 contributionsRafting in Costa Rica by the volcanoI highly advise and want to say that Wave rafting was great. I've been to Costa Rica 7 times, and on previous rafting trip was in south Costa Rica. Wave picked me up at my Fortuna hotel, went for a 2 hour rafting adventure, went by a restaurant, for a Tico meal, and back at hotel a bit before 3:00 p.m. I could not recommend anything more!Written 21 May 2024

A group of 10 adults had an awesome morning tubing with this group! The drive was a bit long and bumpy getting there, but beautiful scenery and we were given lots of interesting tidbits along the way. Our 3 guides( Jason, Christopher and Mau) provided us with helmet and life jacket, gave a thorough safety briefing, divided us up into 3 groups and we were off! The first part were grade 2-3 rapid rating and they were fun and at times challenging. A few of us were flipped off the tubes with big waves, and the guides were right there to reassure and help us to get back on safely. We were all very impressed with the guides attentiveness and skill!
We stopped halfway at a beautiful waterfall where we enjoyed fruits and snacks, and the guides took great pictures.
There were quieter rapids on the second part of the river and we were able to take in the spectacular scenery along the way.
Our entire group voted this day as our favorite excursion and we highly recommend it for a fun and thrilling adventure!

Mauircemo, Raeul , Brian (Bryan) and Robert were reliable, trustworthy and communicative!
I went with two other of my friends. Their team provided a great experience from start to finish, they all spoke great english and provided great safety instructions.
Several of us fell into the stream during our time, the team did a great job communicating to all of us what to do to get to safety.
Brian, a young man no older than 15, personally pulled me out, I am 6’2 & 200 lbs. My other friend is 6’4 & 200 lbs- needless to say they carried us to safety. Highly recommend

From start to finish, we had a great trip. We were picked up and dropped off at our home; Raul picked us up along with our driver, Moises, and the other guides named Mario and Joshua. On the way to our river entry, Raul shared quite a bit of information about the area - environmental and the community. We had two people go into the drink during our tubing trip but between our guides expertise and the safety talk, we knew what to do and none of us were overly concerned. More importantly, we can now say we’ve been tubing in Costa Rica while looking at gorgeous landscape that reminded us of Jurassic Park. Ages ranged from 14-75 and we all thought it was a great excursion. We’d do it again in a heartbeat. Don’t hesitate to use this outfit!!!

We did white-water tubing, with Mau as our guide. The tubing itself was very fun, brought lots of smiles to all our faces, along with being safe. Mau definitely was very experienced as he made sure we were always on the best route to enter the rapids. He also took the time to point out interesting facts about native vegetation on both the hike and drive up, we learned lots! There was also a short hike to a waterfall, which was amazing. This waterfall included a snack, swimming area, and mud masks!! My family and I would definitely recommend!

My 5 girl friends and I were met by Raul, our main guide, at our AirBNB and we met the rest of the team, the driver and Mario, our other guide. While making our way to the start point, Raul would show us the plants that grow there. Raul and Mario were very professional and helped us through the rapids with great ease. During the trip down the river we were given a break and Raul led us to a beautiful waterfalls, provided a light refreshing lunch. We got back on the river and completed our journey. This excursion was by far the most exciting, fun trip we did during our week stay in Costa Rica. Will definitely choose this company again on our next trip!

Wow so fabulous. Best of all our adventures here in this great country.
So professional: picked us up on time, great equipment, and great guidance. We had two very pro whitewater kayakers to help navigate and ensure we were very safe. There were three of us and two guides on the water.
On the way to the river, we drove through the jungle and they explained the history of the palm oil cultivation and frequently grabbed leaves of various spices for us to experience and learn about.
On the water we stopped part way through to have a picnic at a great pair of waterfalls. If you ever wanted to swim in warm water under amazing waterfalls this is your bucket list opportunity.
The tubing was a blast, so many different rapids and just the right amount of time on the water. Both relaxing and exhilarating.
Highly recommend!!

We had an absolute blast with Jonathan (Noni). It ended up just being my wife and I along with the guide on our adventure. There was never a time that we felt in danger at all, but the river was fun and adventurous. The driver, Maurelio, was also great. I would highly recommend this adventure, and I hope that you can get Jonathan as your guide!

This is a great time! The guides take great care of you. The only down side is how quickly it ends. it felt like the tubing only lasted a few minutes (it was actually more then an hour). I wish they sold an all day pass. this is a must do. It's not too bad to get to from the beach. and hit the hot springs when you're done.

We are a couple that wanted to see the forests in a fun, relaxing way. Tubing was perfect! We swam under a waterfall and saw the forest and a toucan from the river. Going through the rapids was fun and low physical effort. Our guide was very engaging and knowledgeable - highly recommend this activity.

My husband and I, along with our adult children, went tubing with Extreme M&R. We had a fabulous time and would highly recommend them. Jason and Mau were super friendly and went out of their way to ensure that our group had a great experience. Don’t hesitate to choose Extreme M&R!

It says a maximum of 2 per group? Why can my family of four not go?
Written 4 December 2022
We were a group of 9 so I’d think a family of four could go.
