    River Rafting

    Very fun experience and the tour guides were very nice. I would recommend it to anyone. I will book again with this company when we come back to Costa Rica.

    Best Part of Our Trip

    This was my group and I’s favorite excursion out of our whole trip. The guides were friendly funny kind amazing people. They made the experience so much fun. They provided transportation directly from our Airbnb and had food before and after rafting. The rafting was so much fun and paying for photos was soo worth it! The rapids were not too intense as it was my first time rafting. We loved every minute and we definitely would do it again!

    Class II - III rafting

    We had an absolute blast on this trip! Our guide Samuel made sure everyone in the raft had a great time and ensured the safety of the participants as well. The sights were amazing as well.

    we went on the savegre river

    Had a lot of fun. Appreciate guide David and driver Mario, we ate breakfast and lunch, but we had to pay for dessert and there was a friendly guy from Canada who pay for dessert.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing the fun! We are glad David and Mario took good care of you on the Savegre River Rafting trip. It is great to hear the breakfast and lunch kept you fueled up. That is such a nice story about the friendly Canadian buying dessert | sometimes the people you meet on the tour are just as memorable as the rapids! Thanks for paddling with us.

    Savegre River Rafting Class II-III from Jaco: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Savegre River Rafting Class II-III from Jaco cost?

    +

    Prices start at $167 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jaco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Savegre River Rafting Class II-III from Jaco take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Jaco is not rushed.

    Is Savegre River Rafting Class II-III from Jaco worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 74 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Jaco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Savegre River Rafting Class II-III from Jaco?

    +

    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 River Rafting Class II-III from Jaco suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Savegre River Rafting Class II-III from Jaco?

    +

    Around 26 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 Jaco 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 Jaco and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Savegre River Rafting Class II-III from Jaco 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 Jaco 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 Jaco?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Jaco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arenal Volcano, La Fortuna Waterfall, Hot Springs Combo Tour with Lunch & Dinner, Jason Crocodile Tours, Jaco Beach Costa Rica Horseback Riding. 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 Jaco?

    +

    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 Jaco?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Savegre River Rafting Class II-III from Jaco?

    +

    Included: Safety equipment; Hotel pickup and drop-off; Professional guide; Snacks; and Lunch. Not included: Gratuities; and Souvenir photos (available to purchase). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Savegre River Rafting Class II-III from Jaco include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is Savegre River Rafting Class II-III from Jaco offered in?

    +
