Afternoon Trip: White Water Rafting Class III on Río Sarapiquí

If you are one of those people who sleep late or want to take advantage of the morning for another activity, then this is the best rafting option for your family and friends. The activity begins by picking you up at your hotel or at our company office, located in Fortuna Ave 333, St 460. Then we drive in a modern and comfortable bus with AC for about one hour to reach the Río Sarapiquí. Upon arrival we gear you up (life jacket, helmet and paddle) and give a full safety talk so you enjoy a safe experience. Our guides are bilingual, certified and have a minimum of 5 years of experience. After the safety talk we do a little practice and start the descent: 2 hours running a 10 km section with an average of 25 rapids, full of fun waves and big splashes. Along the way we stop to enjoy seasonal fruit like pineapple, watermelon or mango, and rest at a nice spot on the riverside. As an optional activity, we also stop at a place where you can jump from a cliff — not too high and deep enough — where the guides give you tips and safety measures. During the tour you can see a diversity of wildlife as well as wonderful scenes of dense vegetation and landscapes; the water is clear and the temperature is perfect for swimming. At the end, the driver waits for you at our take-out point with the bus, water and towels, and we offer tropical fruit, Costa Rican snacks and coffee, plus you can see the funny photographs of yourself on the rapids. After enjoying the fruit and snacks, we take you back to your hotel in La Fortuna.
