Our foursome booked a Class 3-4 rafting trip on the Sarapiqui River in Costa Rica. None of us had rafted before. The guides were professional and fun, we all felt we could handle the trip after our training. Our guide, Jorge, said he had worked on this river for 9 years--he was great! The trip was thrilling! And they fed us a great lunch. All four of us ranked the raft trip at the top of our CR adventures, and we had many great experiences during our week there.

Our trip was a perfect mix of adventure and scenery. It was a ton of fun and we saw two sloths! The guides were amazing and fun. They spoke great English and knew how to make us feel safe and adventurous.

The Sarapiqui River white water rafting more than exceeded our expectations. Almost continuous level 3/4 rapids. but felt safe with our great guide, Bryan. Couple of stops - one to jump of a cliff (about 5m) and another to do a rope swing and drop into the river. NIce fruit snack part way through and then a great dinner at the end (rice, salad, and choice of meat).

I had a blast on this rafting tour. It ended up being one of my favorite things that I did during my stay in Costa Rica. I had rafted once before but they were very small rapids. This tour had good size rapids from beginning to end and it was much more exciting. I would recommend this tour to anyone who may be interested in rafting. The only downer was that it was a pretty long drive from La Fortuna where I was staying to the river. I think it was nearly 2 hours each way. The Desafio van was equipped with wi-fi though and that made the time go by a little faster.
