The guides are incredible!

Man it was awesome, but it was all because of the guides, Romain, Josue and our driver. Romain and Josue thought us all kinds of things on the way to the river, we stopped for empanadas, learned about some of the agriculture, visited an eco resort that was amazing, they stopped multiple times to show us wildlife and even made our kids animals and flowers out of palm leaves. The river time was just a spectacular. No doubt these guys are absolutely the very best tour guides we’ve ever been with!

Awesome Experience

From arrival at the office to our return, the guides were amazing! They gave such incredible information about Costa Rica, the towns we passed through, and showed so much of the areas around the river. The lunch was an incredible spread! The rafting was an amazing experience and would HIGHLY recommend this to be one of your selections when visiting Costa Rica!!

Fun family day

Such a fun trip. Romain was a fantastic paddle guide and provided so much history about Costa Rica. Josué, our photographer captured fabulous photos, and he and Romain put together the most beautiful (and delicious) lunch for us. Despite the low water level we still had plenty of exciting moments…and to top it off the photos were free! Most tours charge for photos in addition to the tour fee. Highly recommend the rafting tour and Costa Rica Explorer!

The best tour ever. Was very pleased we decided to do this. Just amazing, I don’t enjoy water activities. This was great

The guides were all amazing. The lunch and the photos were a great addition to the tour.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! 🙌 We’re especially happy to hear that you had such an amazing time on the Savegre River, even though water activities aren’t usually your thing! That makes this review extra special for us. 🌊 Our guides will be thrilled to know they helped make you feel comfortable, safe, and able to truly enjoy the adventure. We’re also glad you enjoyed the waterfall lunch and the photos—those little extras are an important part of making the day more than just a rafting trip. Thank you for choosing Costa Rica Explorer and for sharing your experience with the Tripadvisor community. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future. Pura Vida! 🌿💦📸

Savegre Rafting: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quepos.

How much does Savegre Rafting cost?

+

Prices start at $135 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quepos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Savegre Rafting take?

+

Plan for about 6 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 Quepos is not rushed.

Is Savegre Rafting worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 219 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Quepos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Savegre Rafting?

+

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 Savegre Rafting suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Savegre Rafting?

+

Around 77 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 Quepos 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 Quepos and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Savegre Rafting 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 Quepos 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 Quepos?

+

On Outty we rank every Quepos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whitewater Rafting Savegre Class II-III plus Waterfall Manuel Antonio, Manuel Antonio Canopy Tour - Longest Twin Zip Line in Central America, Waterfall Ziplining & Canyoning. 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 Quepos?

+

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 Quepos?

+

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.
