South America Rafting Trips

Overall, this was a good package for first time visit at Costa Rica. The travel team (Jean Carlo) was super responsive by answering all our questions and providing fixes with our issues, particularly when it comes to the hotel issue we encountered on our first night at KC Hotel where the shower didn't work. I think the highlight was definitely the White Water Rafting experience with our guide, Roberto who made it extremely fun. Agree with previous folks' assessment on the hotel at Arenal, that was really great and we would go back in a heartbeat. We were definitely surprised that Monteverde lodge did not have AC, although it was relatively cool when we were there so we really didn't need it. All said and done, we had a great time with the excursions, especially the horseback riding at Exuus Farm, and the ziplining activity with 100% Adventure which well made up for some of the accommodation/transport issues. All the excursions were definitely 4 stars in our book.

Customer service with World Expeditions was fantastic. Every time I had a question, I was able to speak with a real human person and get honest answers. Thank you!!

I booked this trip for my daughter and me. She wanted action and adventure, every day, and this trip delivered. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the hotels. Much nicer than I expected, given the low cost of this to her. Most of the transportation was fairly high-quality as well. The bus too, and from the rafting was nothing fancy, but certainly nothing to worry about. Be prepared to spend a little more time than you might expect in transit. That's a function of Costa Rican infrastructure. Lots of one lane roads means travel between cities can be really slow. But the scenery is gorgeous. If you just consider it part of the adventure, and enjoy it, it's not a problem. I highly recommend this trip. It had everything we wanted.

We started off San Jose and explored the culture. Food was amazing. Next we headed out to Pacuera River to whitewater raft for two days. Got to stay in the rainforest with huts and the guides/volunteers were Amazing. So attentive, knowledgeable and kind. They kept us well fed. Our next trip took us to LA Fortuna....long drive but worth it. The hanging bridges, waterfall, and hot springs all were very enjoyable. We were lucky enough to see spider monkeys and other native wildlife ssooo cool! We then went to Quepas near Manuel Antonio to enjoy the Pacific beach. Beautiful as well. The water is very warm. Other wildlife we saw were macaws, iguanas, chipocun monkeys. Last destination back to San Jose. Enjoyed walking around the market streets. Our drivers, guides, and meals were all great.

Best bang for your buck! It was amazing and everything was planned out perfectly. The hotels, the transfers and excursions were amazing and unforgettable!

We had a great time and liked every place and activity that was part of the trip. The transfers were well coordinated and always on time. Most hotel accommodations were good and location was central to other activities. We were able to customize the itinerary to include Caribbean coast which was also really nice!
