So much fun

My boyfriend and I had so much fun on this adventure. We met a great group of people and rafted down some awesome rapids. Although we had rafting experience, I would also recommend for beginners. Lunch was delicious and the tour of the farm behind the restaurants was GREAT

All-Inclusive! Fun and Exciting

This tour was awesome. We were picked up and taken by bus to the river. There we were given detailed instructions on how to safely white-water raft. It was a blast! At some points it was scary, but our guide was awesome. After the intense rapids, we were given fresh fruit to snack on and then we could float and swim more down the river. Then we were bussed back to the office, where we were given a delicious lunch and a drink. Then we were guided around the little farm to look at the different animals and plants they had. We got to try the sugar cane and the moonshine! It was all-around an awesome experience.
Fun and wet!

We had a lot of fun rafting! Our guide, Carlos, was attentive and very informative! He took us down rapid routes and also pointed out lots of the fauna: we saw birds, even a toucan, many Sloths, bats, Frogs and others. The fruit was good and the lunch was alright (typical Costa Rican with beans, rice, chicken and a salad). I would highly suggest to leave all things in the minibus - during the rafting adventure I fell in the water (which was so much fun!), but would've lost my phone if I had it. The only let down was that coffee and tea weren't really included, even though the ad said they were. We were expecting to have coffee and tea available before leaving, but there wasn't any. There was a coffee show when we had the lunch, but 2pm was too late for us to enjoy the coffee.
Nevertheless, I would recommend as a fun activity, but would like it if they didn't advertise coffee as included and maybe just say it's a coffee demonstration at lunch.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it 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. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
