  • 5OUTSTANDING ADVENTURE! ROBERTO is the BEST GUIDE!

    OUTSTANDING adventure! ROBERTO our rafting guide was incredible! He stressed safety along with making the entire rafting trip fun, informative, exciting, funny, educational and a great memorable adventure experience. The entire trip was very professional and extremely organized from picking us up at our AirBNB, excellent breakfast, detailed pre-rafting instructions by Roberto, distribution of equipment, incredible scenery on the river, Roberto pointed out wildlife, and a delicious end of trip lunch. DO THIS RAFTING TRIP and ask for ROBERTO to be your guide! Pura Vida!

  • 1Don’t book this. They...

    Don’t book this. They never showed up to get us. Terrible communication. Booked 2 weeks in advance and communicated with Viator to make sure that we were on the local operators list. But if u do enjoy getting up at 5:30 am and waiting outside for over an hour and then getting compensated absolutely nothing then this is the tour for you!

  • 5The BEST time!!!

    We had the BEST time white water rafting. One of our favorite experiences while in Costa Rica. Andres was our guide and he was so fun and lively. We came from Puerto Viejo, the company picked us up directly from our hotel. It was about an hour and a half drive to the rafting place. We enjoyed breakfast and they had lockers to place our belongings. The rafting was so fun, be prepared to get absolutely soaked and to fully participate. It’s not a relaxing cruise down a river, you have to physically participate. It was an all day activity and at the end we were also fed lunch and able to change into a fresh pair of clothes. They then gave us a ride back to our hotel. We would definitely recommend this activity!!!

  • 5Do it! Have a blast!

    This was one of the most fun adventures ever! Our guide, Louise, was amazing! We had so much fun! It included breakfast & lunch. They picked us up from my hotel in San José and dropped me off at my new hotel in La Fortuna. I am 64, my husband 66. I have never been white water rafting, although he has been numerous times even though it had been 25+ years. Some of the rapids were a level 4, but honestly it was beyond fun!

About Limón

Limón is Costa Rica's main Caribbean port, an Afro-Caribbean city on a humid coast and the gateway to Tortuguero's canals and the Cahuita reef.

Puerto Limón is Costa Rica's principal Caribbean port, a cargo harbour and provincial capital where the coast curves beneath green hills and rain clouds. Many of its people descend from Jamaican and other West Indian workers who came in the nineteenth century to build the railway to San José, and their English-influenced Creole, music and cooking shape the city. Parque Vargas, a palm-shaded park, runs along the seafront.

Top-ranked sights in Limón: Tortuguero Canals.
