Push your limits on the most extreme section of the Sarapiqui River with a Class 3-4 white water rafting excursion!
Get ready for a soaking-wet adrenaline-inducing trip! One of Costa Rica's most exciting rafting trips can be found at the Sarapiqui River! The Sarapiqui River area is famous for its lush jungle scenery. As a matter of fact, as you paddle down the river sorting its many obstacles, you might come across monkeys, iguanas and other amazing Costa Rican wildlife.
After being briefed and equipped you'll hop on the raft and experience the thrill of the Sarapiqui river! Along the route, you'll face rolling rapids that with the help of your guide you'll avoid! Get ready to duck, dodge, paddle, and laugh as you make your way down the river!
About halfway down this segment of the river, you'll be able to enjoy a refreshing tropical fruit snack, relax with the rest of the group, go for a swim, or just contemplate the rushing waters around you!
The day will be wrapped up with a delicious traditional meal at the center's own restaurant The Red Eyed Frog right on the side of the river!
