We had a great time rafting with Mario! We’ve been rafting several times throughout the US and the rapids in CR were just as good. Mario is a great guide - highly recommend him!
Rodrigo Rocks!!

One of the highlights of our trip. It was our family of three first time water rafting. My daughter and I were a bit nervous but our guide was amazing!! Rodrigo made our experience very enjoyable, he was very knowledgeable. He is a great communicator and we had a blast!! Lunch was also delicious, i had fish tilapia. Food was tasty portion was a bit small but I did get my food towards the end of the line. Super fun, highly recommend.
Best day ever!

We went on this adventure tour through Native’s Way adventures. What a day! We were lucky enough to get picked up in a private transport (our driver was Armando, meeting him was also a great part of this trip, albeit slightly unrelated) who quickly took us to our meeting point. We briefly stopped for coffee and food along the way. Once with the Tenorio River tour group, we met our guides Mario, Jason (Jesus), and David. They took us to the river and Mario gave a detailed safety briefing before we got into our raft with Jason. The rapids started our gentle (mostly class II) before we got into the more intense Class III and finally the vaunted class IV rapids. Jason was friendly, reassuring, and worked hard to keep our raft under control through each rapid. I fell off at one point, which was a common occurrence, and he quickly helped me back into the raft before we proceeded. During the more calm parts of the river, we could take in the beauty of the river & it’s surroundings as it ran through the tenorio volcano national park. It was topped off with a post rafting snack and a delicious lunch back at the original meeting point. The travel to and from the river from the original meeting point is a bit treacherous, but I’m not sure there’s any other way to get people down to these remote sections of the river. My wife and I had a great time, and would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique exciting adventure! Thank you to everyone who helped make our experience so memorable!
Fun river time
