River Tenorio Whitewater Rafting

4.8/5
19 reviews

‘Left', ‘right', ‘get down' – no, not an aggressive gym instructor but what you'll hear as you make your way down the River Tenorio rapids. This whitewater rafting tour is Costa Rica at its best – action and adventure in the wild.

After driving to the heart of Guanacaste, you'll be given a safety briefing before donning a helmet and life vest. You'll then raft through the rainforest, so keep an eye out for wildlife such as iguanas, monkeys and tropical birds. Costa Rica is rated as one of the best spots in the world for whitewater rafting, and there's a reason why – category 3 and 4 rapids, set against a lush tropical backdrop.

Your world-champion guide will steer you through the rapids and over the falls as you navigate the 13km route. After you've dried off, you'll end the tour with a spot of lunch.

    I enjoyed every part of my trip. However, when I saw the guides didn’t have proper shoes to serve the visitors, I wasn't happy with the company that doesn't care about its members and only cares about profit. The reason I pay attention to this matter is what I like for my team, family, and my employees as well.

    So our pilot(driver) person steering the raft was a guy called Roberto(stumpy) not a derogatory term he did say that people called him that .his left leg was missing but my god did he give us an awesome experience! He was cracking jokes and just made the whole rafting experience a birthday I will never forget. Yes we did all 4 of us capsize at the last drop , but that really did add to an amazing time ! If you do go please hanky for roberto as he was definitely the best tour guide , thanks xxxxx
