          Rafting Rio Suarez!
          The guides were so amazing. They give you a lesson and practice before you go to make sure everyone is safe. I felt so safe with the guides and even when I fell in the river, Following all safety instructions, I was pulled back up and had an experience of a lifetime! Thank you so much for showing us the Rio Suarez!

          Very accomoding , we went to a part of the river that is not accessible normally due to strong current but we were able to do it because of the shallow river. My instructor was Robert and he was very good and clear with his instruction !

          Amazing experience!
          These guys are really professionals! They make sure that we had an amazing time on river Suarez! Rafting with them gives definitely you a energy boost. For us it was our first time rafting, but through them we got the opportunity to do level 4 and 5. Never felt unsafe in the boat. Our guide said: not good, don't swim!! So if you had the change to book this adventure I definitely recommend them!!

          Excellent! Ariel was really friendly, responsible and professional. He organized everything: transport, delicious food and equipment. We felt safe while kayaking the beautiful Rio Fonce. We can only recommend it! Thanks Ariel and we wish you all the best for your next adventures!

          Kayaking with the nicest instructor
          I've had an amazing experience doing kayaking with Exploradores Columbia. The instructor is knowledgeable and very kind. We had loads of fun in this 2 day activity. Day 1 was mostly for learning techniques, and day 2 was for applying them while going downstream. Oh, I should also mention a very nice local lunch that is included :)

          Fantastic experience!
          We were rafting with two other guys, so we were 4 on a boat and our guide Jack was sitting in the back. He is a fun guy and guided us perfectly through the waves. We can really recommend this tour!

          Great experience!
          This was easily the highlight of our San Gil trip. The days before going, rafting was impossible (too much water for safety) so we were in for a ride. The staff and safety instructions were top notch. We had experienced and first-timers and everybody seemed to have a great time. Very much recommend to go here

        An unforgettable experience with a highly recommended company. My family and I were 6 people in total, out of which 3 were between 62 and 65 years old. It was really well-organised and very safe even for my parents who had never done this before. I reached out to the company through WA just 1 day before and Ariel responded very quickly to address my concerns. On the day itself, he was our guide and together with the driver and co-guide, we spent an amazing time in the river navigating the rapids and getting all wet. Ariel's instructions are super clear, his English is good, and most of all, he has safety as the number 1 priority.

        This was without a doubt, one of the best experiences in San Gil, and very suitable for people who want to try this activity in a safe manner. Good job, Ariel and team!

        Una experiencia inolvidable con una empresa super recomendable. Mi familia y yo somos 6 con 3 mayores de edad. El rafting fue super bien organizado y muy seguro incluso para las personas sin experiencia. Ariel, el guía y uno de los propietarios, tenía muy buena comunicación y siempre estaba pendiente de todo. Sin duda, fue una de las mejores experiencias para nosotros en San Gil. Recomiendo esta empresa para las personas que quieren intentar esta actividad de manera segura. Felicitaciones a Ariel y todo el equipo de Exploradores!

        Ariel and Eddy took us on a very nice trip. The instruction at their home-base was fun and ensures we all understood the (safety) instructions.

        The Fonce river was enjoyable, Eddy was a great captain and made a lot of videos and pictures. We had plenty options to go for a swim. We saw several birds and leguanen.

        Most rapids were easy, some we really had to work together to get through. #Fun

        If you like rafting and want to have a nice experience I would definitely recommend Exploradores

        Excelente plan, muy profesionales, y la atencion fue 1A - hicimos los rapidos y a mitad del camino almorzamos platos tradiconales - los recomiendo sin reservaciones;

        WE came with our family and reserved the day with these guys, very nice, doing torrenting/rappel in the morning and then the Rapids - and mid way, a traditonal luch in a ranch by the shore of the river. Great time, very professional, highly recommended.

        *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
