My husband and two teenage children went on this trip and said it was the highlight of their time in Costa Rica. The staff were friendly and inclusive as well as well informed about the river and wildlife. Safety was good and my family had a thrilling time rafting and came back soaking wet to a sumptuous lunch! Lots of fun, they highly recommend it.

Our guide Kevin was amazing! He was fun and engaged with us the whole trip. I loved the fact we got fruit to eat when we got off the raft and then when we returned to La Fortuna we had a delicious lunch waiting for us. Had a great time!

Arenal Rafting has worked out all the details for a pretty seemless and fun family experience. Great mix of moderate thrills on the rapids, playfulness, and appreciating the beautiful scenery and wildlife.

An exhilarating adventure
Nikki_H

Highly recommend! This tour was perfect for our family (ages 11,12). Alex was very knowledgeable and gave us great history about Costa Rica. He gave us our safety briefing before we got on the rafts that was very thorough. Oscar was the skipper of our raft and was such a pro! He navigated the ups and downs of the River like a master! We had such an amazing adventure! The tour included a stop for snacks (watermelon, mango, pineapple, cantaloupe) after about an hour of rafting. Then, we loaded up for another hour of rafting that was just as fun! Oscar pointed out many birds, trees and flowers along the way! Afterwards we were greeted o shore by a bottle of water and a towel. We then headed back to where we started for a traditional Costa Rican lunch that was delicious ! We had an amazing time! Thank you to Alex, Oscar and the Arenal Rafting team for an adventure that we won’t soon forget!
