3 Day Tour of the Pacuare River in Costa Rica.

I am a solo female study abroad student here in Costa Rica for the summer. I was a little nervous about going by myself, especially since I had never done rapids before. However, the company and the guides, made sure I had an unforgettable experience. They are very careful and considerate of the weather and other factors. I have done over 10 excursions so far during my time in Costa Rica, and none of them compared to this one. The guides were friendly, hilarious, overly helpful, went out of their way to make sure I felt safe the whole time, and not to mention, the best cooks. Going home from this excursion was almost a little heartbreaking. The first day was a few easy rapids (level 2), and some time to unwind and eat a savory dinner at the resort. Day two, was a day to explore the beautiful resort, relax, and try your best to take in the beautiful views. Day three was packed with level 3 and 4 rapids. The guides keep it fun and lighthearted the entire time. I could not say enough good things about the people of this company!

We had an amazing experience at Pacuare River! We stayed at Ave Sol lodge which was amazing. From being picked up from the airport by Richard —who was amazing and took care of all our needs including a long transfer after the trip to the whole white water rafting experience with Esteban! I really liked that our safety was a priority and the company was well equipped with it. We had a wonderful time thanks to people like Richard and Esteban who made sure we were well taken care of. Both went above and beyond to make sure our trip was fun, adventurous and made sure we were well fed throughout the trip. Food was well done with all the team at the lodge. 10/10 white water rafting experience and hiking in the forest and being one with nature. Highly recommend!

I booked, paid and received confirmation from Viator 10 days before the date of the trip. I waited to be picked up on the day and when I wasn’t I called the tour operator. They said I wasn’t going because there is a 2 person minimum and I only booked for me. At no stage did Viator or the operator contact me to tell me it wasn’t going ahead. By then it was too late to book another tour or activity. Absolutely terrible service. Disappointed not to go and disappointed after having a great time otherwise in Costa Rica.
