For mild adventure seekers, we offer our river rafting tour, a popular excursion for guests who want to enjoy the many moods of the river in a white water raft captained by one of our experienced tour guides. For something a little more challenging, we have a white water kayaking tour for 2, great for couple or friends who want to paddle on their own and get a better feel of the class 1 and class 2 rapids found along the river course. Our recently added tubing tour is a sure bet for those of you wanting a wet and wild ride on the river while enjoying the safety and comfort of your own river tube. If those 3 tours just don't offer enough excitement, then our river boarding tour is surely for you. Gear up, grab your river board, and surf the cool waters of the Rio Bueno as you make your way through multiple sections of splashing rapids and crystal clear river pools. All tours are fully guided and end on a private beach located close to the river delta. Refreshments, Snacks, Photos, and Souvenirs are available for purchase at the beach. « less

We booked this trip through Justin Perez at Braco Tours. He was very helpful in planning our trip and answered all of my emails in a short time. He was flexible with what we could do after our tour. Tubing or river boarding looked more exciting; however we decided to do the rafting tour so that my mom (70) could... More

My family and I went kayaking, although a short trip as someone mentioned, it was well worth it. Sean our guide did a great job, and the rapids were just right for my 13 and 17 yo daughters. Beautiful scenery and if your looking for something to do on the way back, have them drop you off at Time and... More

We arrived in port and our cruise ship had not changed it's time and we missed the meet time by over an hour. So they told us to come back in about 2 hours and they would get us on the next trip. Which actually worked in our favor because it rained all morning so the afternoon was cooler and... More

We booked this adventure after reading reviews on trip advisor. All 4 of us river boarded, although I wimped out at the rope swing and swtiched places with a younger, more fit teenager halfway through and rode the rest of the trip in a raft. My 13 and 16 year old kids and 45 yo hubby are extremely fit and... More

Had a brilliant time on the cool waters of the Rio Bueno! I had never river boarded before but can only gush about the fabulous experience! On arrival we were given a safety briefing and kitted up like vikings, which was both amusing and reassuring. They take safety very seriously, which can only be a good thing! We then took... More

We very much enjoyed our river rafting! The river is swift-moving, but the rapids are fairly mild. We felt very safe with Mikey, our guide. Everyone is required to wear helmets and life vests. Water shoes are provided, if you do not have your own. My son especially enjoyed stopping to use the rope swing. Once was enough for me!... More

Just returned from a cruise and our group of 9 did this excursion. I'll give general thoughts - if you want a very detailed review of this excursion read the January 2012 view titled “Wonderful River Adventure near Falmouth, Jamaica” by Ephtraveler. It describes in very good detail how the trip works. In general, I thought it was just OK.... More

Thank you for your honest feedback regarding your river boarding experience at River Rapids Adventures. We are sorry that our tour/s did not meet your expectations, however we do not market our river boarding tour as a gentle float downstream. There might be a few delays for some river boarding participants while in the river because we have 2 safety... More
