We loved this class 3-4 rapids rafting trip!! Our guides were friendly and we had a BLAST on this whitewater rafting trip!! We had a driver, two guides in the raft and an additional guide in a kayak to go ahead and get in place to get great photos of us! We were the only raft on our trip and we thoroughly enjoyed the personal attention we got. I think it's a small company with excellent attention to detail and really skilled and knowledgeable guides!! We LOVED our trip!! We were in great hands with Mauricio (in the Kayak), Esteban driving, Steven helping guide the raft and our excellent lead raft guide, Bella!! These guys were fantastic!!! And our trip started off with seeing a Scarlet Macaw on the drive to the river - we stopped and Bella took excellent photos - it was really special and they were so excited to share a stunning, local bird with us!! This was an amazing day out!!

Our Travel Agent, Costa Rica Experts, booked a rafting trip for us with Flow Trips. Flow Trips picked us up promptly at our hotel, Arenal Amor. We went rafting with Bella in our raft and Maurice in a safety kayak. Both of our guides and our driver were awesome. The rapids were Class II and III and just as described. We had a great time on the river. We didn't see any other rafters on the water. We did see a few tubers. Halfway through the trip we stopped to stretch our legs and they cut up a pineapple and some mangoes. After the trip we stopped for a delicious lunch. We were able to change into dry clothes before lunch and they provided towels. I highly recommend this operation. It is first class service.

My adult daughter and I had a fabulous half day whitewater rafting trip with our Flow tour guides Mauricio and Vela. We had never gone whitewater rafting before. We received detailed instructions, including safety precautions; were given helmets and life jackets; and did some practice with the two other tourists in our raft before we set out. Vela was our guide in the raft, with Mauricio following along in his kayak. We had a fun break in the middle for a bit of swimming and a snack - freshly cut, locally grown pineapple and watermelon.
Bring a water bottle and wear water shoes - you need them for getting in and out of the boat at the beginning and end of the trip and during the break in the middle. Bring a strap to hold your sunglasses if you plan to wear them - you will get splashed! Unless your camera or phone is in a waterproof bag, don’t bring it. The driver stayed with the van during our excursion (which we especially appreciated since we were in transit and had all our luggage with us).
Bring dry clothes to change into - There are changing rooms when you get out. We were then taken to a restaurant 5 minutes away where we had an excellent lunch of rice, beans, plantains and a choice of fish, chicken, meat or vegetarian.
This was an awesome experience. Highly recommended!!
