Great adventure

Jorge our guide was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and made sure we had a great time! The rapids were a blast and we had a small group which was a plus. The fresh fruit and other snacks were amazing! We even got to learn how to make sugar cane shots! Highly recommend this tour and company.

Fun!

Super fun exciting rapids from a legit outfit. Safety taken seriously.

Amazing rafting experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Amazing rafting experience, snacks and the best part was the super kind and fun staff of Sarapiqui Outdoor Center (10 out of 10). Tatiana was very welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed to have a great experience, David gave us a detailed and very clear safety briefing and took pictures during the whole experience, Felipe was our captain and wild life expert (spotting many animals together with David during the trip) and Hugo drove us smoothly back to the main base. After the rafting, we had a very tasty fruity snack and they showed us how to make sugar cane juice that we tried after. It definitely worths the money :)
