10/10 experience and guide knowledge
Ronnie and Andre were absolutely fantastic tour guides with loads of knowledge about the rivers and also the wildlife along the rivers. We rafted down the Savegre River and also did a kayaking trip in the Hatillo River and both were incredibly fun and gorgeous! Ronnie is with you the whole time, while Andre kayaked along side, filming and taking loads of pictures that all turned out perfect. The ride up the mountain to get to the drop point for the rafting trip was absolutely breathtaking and filled with small stops where Ronnie would fill your head with knowledge about the plant and animal life indigenous to Costa Rica. They prepared a wonderful Costa Rican lunch for us half way down the river, which we got to enjoy at the bottom of a big, roaring waterfall and it was amazing. 10/10 review in all aspects and we will be returning 100%.

Unforgettable rafting trip with amazing guides
Amazing rafting experience! Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable about the local wildlife and plants and pointed out so many things we would’ve missed. A brief stop for empanadas and a bathroom break at a local spot before the put in and lunch at a beautiful waterfall was a highlight and felt so special. The whole trip was well-organized, personalized, and we felt safe the entire time. Highly recommend!

Great time on the Savegre!
This is my second time with Ronny and Andres on the Savegre. So damn fun! Don't waste your time and money going with anyone else. These guys have it dialed in tight, and it's a really good time. New equipment, safe and knowledgeable guides, Ronny and Andres will show you an epic time on the river!

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Savegre River White Water Rafting Class II to III: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quepos.
How much does Savegre River White Water Rafting Class II to III 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 River White Water Rafting Class II to III 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 River White Water Rafting Class II to III worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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 River White Water Rafting Class II to III?
+
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 White Water Rafting Class II to III suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Savegre River White Water Rafting Class II to III?
+
Around 3 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 River White Water Rafting Class II to III 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 Full Day Waterfall Adventure, Manuel Antonio Canopy Tour - Longest Twin Zip Line in Central America, Manuel Antonio Park Tour and its Amazing Wildlife and Beaches. 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.
What is included in Savegre River White Water Rafting Class II to III?
