The BEST time!
The BEST time! Thrilling, exciting and fun! Erik was a fun guide who challenged us and kept us entertained. We saw tons of wildlife… a baby sloth, huge iguanas, and monkeys!

This was my very first...
This was my very first time water rafting. My kids are between the ages of 10-16 and my friend's mom is 65 (she’s very active) and we all did great on our first time. The guide told us exactly what to do so we felt completely safe. I will def do it again. We saw sloths, tucans and lizards along the way.

Awesome!
Love the small group, more personal trip! As we floated near a group of 15 boats, we were very grateful for the limited number of boats and focus on a quality trip rather than squeezing as many people as you can down the river at one time. Bryan and Jason we funny, engaging, informative and great guides. Highly recommend the trip.

Best white water rafting experience ever
Hands down my favorite adventure in Costa Rica. I’ve been white water rafting in CR before but this was my favorite. Jason and Jonny made us feel safe and well taken care of. They were very knowledgeable and stopped along the calmer parts of the rapids to look at wildlife (we saw sloths!). The tour is more intimate with a smaller group which we enjoyed so much more. I can’t recommend this tour enough and will absolutely be booking with La Fortuna Rafting Co again during our next vacation to CR.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rafting La Fortuna the highlight of your vacation in Costa Rica - Lunch Included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.
How much does Rafting La Fortuna the highlight of your vacation in Costa Rica - Lunch Included cost?
+
Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Fortuna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Rafting La Fortuna the highlight of your vacation in Costa Rica - Lunch Included take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Fortuna is not rushed.
Is Rafting La Fortuna the highlight of your vacation in Costa Rica - Lunch Included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rafting La Fortuna the highlight of your vacation in Costa Rica - Lunch Included?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Rafting La Fortuna the highlight of your vacation in Costa Rica - Lunch Included suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 7. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Rafting La Fortuna the highlight of your vacation in Costa Rica - Lunch Included?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Fortuna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Fortuna and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rafting La Fortuna the highlight of your vacation in Costa Rica - Lunch Included start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Fortuna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in La Fortuna?
+
On Outty we rank every La Fortuna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Upper Balsa River White Water Rafting Class 3/4 in Costa Rica, North Fields Cafe: Craft Specialty Coffee and Chocolate Tour, Canyoning Adventure Rappelling Waterfalls in Arenal Volcano. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit La Fortuna?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in La Fortuna?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
