Does mambo tours or oscar or any other private company take you white water rafting?

[vossjemi]

If so, how do i contact them, and what is approximate cost?

 

Many have recommended rios tropicales, but I just found out they have a contract with RC and can't do private tours, so i'm either stuck with RC excursion price or find another company. Just wondering if anyone knows any other companies that do this. Thanks.

Vossjemi,

 

I can't offer you any help with the independents as we did the Zipline and Bananna plantation, and city tour with Oscar Brown. Members of our Meet and Mingle, and our tablemates did take the ships white water trip and had a ball. I would recommend that you take lots of sunscreen as they did get burned pretty badly. One of the girls was scared to death about doing it, but after it was all over she was fine and sharing her tale at the dinner table.

PS..... you might want a post to Oscar Brown, who is a local, he might know of a company that could help you. If the moderators won't let him post here then email him. I would trust his recommendation of a company if he does.

My daughter and her husband are also wanting to white water raft in C.R., but feel the prices are a little stiff when offered through the cruise line. Does any one know of a private company that does this, and the cost?
