Experience the natural wonders of Costa Rica with a tranquil Wildlife Safari Float on the lower Sarapiqui River!

For those seeking a more relaxed pace, this two-hour safari float is the perfect way to explore the northern zone’s biodiversity without the intensity of white water rapids.

The team will pick you up from your hotel in La Fortuna and head to the operation center in El Roble de Sarapiquí. Once on the water, you will glide down the serene lower Sarapiqui River for approximately two hours. Accompanied by a knowledgeable bilingual nature guide, you’ll work together to spot diverse wildlife, including sloths, howler monkeys, lizards, and even elusive black river otters. The region is particularly renowned for its avian life; keep your eyes open for ospreys, kingfishers, and the endangered great green macaw!

This wildlife safari tour offers a unique perspective of the jungle from the comfort of your raft as your guide shares insights into the local ecosystem. If you wish to cool off, you will have the opportunity to disembark from the raft and immerse yourself in the refreshing, calm waters of the river.
