Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our day white water rafting here was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. These guys go the extra mile to make sure everyone is comfortable and entertained. There was never a dull moment with this crew. Highly recommend for everyone!

I was a little hesistant to try this adventure but it was great. The tour guides with us were all very helpful and friendly. We had great weather as we went down the river. My boat had only 4 people and we had to paddle a little. Not very strenous at all. Kinda wished it was a little more of cat 2 rapids than the cat 1. Spend 2 hours on the river with a short break at the 1 hour mark.
Very enjoyable.
Very enjoyable.

The river was sooooo warm... The kids loved swimming in all of the pools. Our guide told us all about the plants, painted the kids faces and made us all feel safe. From Start to finish, this was a highlight!

This was fun activity and close to Uvita. The crew was not the greatest. They were a bit cocky. When we went, the water was relatively low, so we had class I-III rapids, not class IV, which was good for our family. The guides make it sound like they usually try to flip the raft at least once, which we would not have enjoyed, when the water is at typical levels.

We (4 adults, 4 teenagers) had a great time on this rafting trip. Being December and the start of the Costa Rican summer, the rapids were not too demanding. In my raft (we had 2 rafts), our guide Ryan (Cheers) was fantastic! There is one portion of the trip that they tell you, you can get out of the raft and float down the river on your back. I have to say this was pretty harrowing and I would not do it again. In fact, if I did it before my kids, I would have been hesitant to allow them to do it.
The bus ride to the top of the river is fairly long and bumpy. The restaurant and late lunch after rafting was very good and close to the water with a nice view.

We booked Tukan Tours to take us from Jaco to Savegre River for some white water rafing. Our guides and driver was great, Didn't know that some parts of this river were class 4 rapids. In short, our raft flipped and everyone took a spill down the river. It was horrific and I felt humbled after the incident. Overall, I had fun rafting the Savegre but will not do it again, I highly suggest that you prepare yourself just in case you go overboard, stay calm and respect nature.

this is a perfect river for newbie rafters. It has some great bumps, but they're essentially all followed by a flat spot, so should you come out of the raft, you're in calm water almost immediately.
Others have remarked about how beautiful it is, including the stop at the waterfall. True, true!
Tour guides were great!

Hi, We are a family of 5 with our own transportation arriving the first of Feb 2020. We can drive to the closest / best point to meet up with the staff and prepare for the rafting. Where would we meet and how much for the five of us since we are a group and can meet at any location?
