Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Everything was really well organized, the instructors professional and experienced, thanks to them we had a really great time - not to mention the beautiful surroundings of Chicamocha Canyon. I think it's a must see and do when you are in the area!

Absolutely went above and beyond our expectations. We had been exchanging emails with Laura and she set up 6 tours in 4 days along with transportation to and from the airport.
When we arrive Cesar picked us up and drove us to the office. Laura was on holiday but Jenny continued keeping us informed of the itinerary.
We raft the rio suarez with Nuestro. This was the best rafting experience we ever had!!
The next day Freddy and his team took us to paraglide and Alejandro made the trip fantastic!
The following day we did Xplorer with Julian and Barichara. Cesar and Carlos picked us up and we stopped at a town near by and had a Colombian lunch. Amazing!! Carlos took us on a private tour of Barichara and it was breathtaking.
The last day for tours,Cesar and Carlos picked us up and we went to Juan Curiti waterfall and Cave of Indian. Both were absolutely amazing. We stopped off for lunch in San Gil at El Mana and had the best food.
Cesar took us back to the airport the next day.
The overall planning Laura and Jenny did and the constant communication was amazing. We never had to worry on this trip. It was amazing spending time with Cesar and Carlos, they made the trip even more enjoyable and memorable. Thank you Colombia Rafting!!!

Unbelievably good! My partner and I were a little nervous before starting the River Suarez rafting day, however all the guides were EXCELLENT. Funny, chatty, knowledgeable and they made it as safe as white water could be. Will be recommending to the next 100 humans I meet.

An amazing experience
Aug. 2023 • Friends
We absolutely loved this! So fun and definitely worth going to the suarez river. Ricardo was great at explaining safety and Albert lead the boat so well. They were a great team - the price includes the bus ride there and back, and lovely food after the experience. Would recommend!!

Book with these guys for the best white water rafting experience
Jul. 2023 • Family
We had an amazing day rafting with Colombia Rafting. Ricardo, Nesto, Eduardo and Kevin were absolutely brilliant. Explained everything in English and ensured our safety throughout. We rafted, swam in the river and ate amazing food at the end. So happy we booked with these guys. Thanks so much all of you from Team English!

Fantastic experience
Jul. 2023 • Couples
White water rafting level 5 . Highly recommended. We had the most amazing time . I was a little nervous to start but Ricardo the instructor was fantastic. We felt completely safe with him whilst still having the full extreme sport experience . Definitely the best thing we have done so far on our trip .

Beautiful tour I love it a lot!!! The whole team is great. I did the high level but I was very nervous, I communicated it and they were so considerate they sent me with WILLIAN, I couldn't love him more, he was so nice and kind, I thought it was very good for what I paid because in the end it is your safety, they are well organized, The lunch was nice and they organized it in a cute way plus they have vegetarian options. I loved them very much highly recommended Willian I love u hehehe

Exceptional coaching
Mar. 2023 • Couples
We booked a single day kayak coaching/trip, and after day 1 we were very keen for day 2! Our guide, Ricardo, was exceptional: despite the two of us having very different ability levels he managed to make sure the day was fun for both of us and that both of our skills developed.

We both came into the trip with some experience, I am comfortable on grade 4, while my partner is somewhere between beginner and intermediate. From the moment Ricardo knew this he started working out his plan to make the trip work as well as possible for both of us.

We were taken to the Rio Fonce, a grade 2-3 river where he helped my partner work on her rolling ability while I could practice some more advanced techniques. The rapids themselves were not that challenging for me but we're definitely some of the most fun grade 2-3 I've paddled, for my partner they were just the right level to challenge her without being too intense.

Lunch was surprisingly good, you never expect a restaurant meal when you go on a kayaking trip but that's what we got! Theres a little restaurant just next to the river where we could jump out of the kayaks and walk straight up to our table. The owner tried hard to make sure the vegetarian was well fed, and as a result we both ate very well!

Ricardo is a very skilled kayaker and a trustworthy guide, he was very safety conscious and keen to help both of us develop as much as possible. He could coach us both in English and made sure we both felt comfortable on the river.

Ricardo's coaching style really helped my partner, he achieved an excellent balance of confidence building while still pushing my partner to do her best. He focused closely on technique without losing sight of where her head was at. This attention to detail and to the kayaker meant that she progressed significantly beyond anything she had achieved at home.

(In case you're wondering what the kit situation is, it's actually pretty good, impressive given it's hard to import boating kit to Colombia)

River Fonce White Water Rafting
Jan. 2023 • Couples
Brilliant morning spent white water rafting with Carlos (River Fonce Class II and III rapids).

Safety briefing beforehand (in both Spanish and English) and Carlos made sure all of us stayed safe and had a fun time on the river.

The guides have GoPros to take video and photos of the trip and it wasn't expensive to purchase afterwards - an email arrived overnight with details on how to download and save the files.

Highly recommended.
