Rafting down the Sarapiqui River near San Jose, departing from La Fortuna

Experience the thrill of the Sarapiqui River with a white water rafting excursion departing from La Fortuna!

Get ready for a soaking-wet, adrenaline-inducing trip! One of Costa Rica's most exciting rafting trips can be found on the Sarapiqui River, famous for its lush jungle scenery. As you paddle down the river navigating its many obstacles, you might come across monkeys, iguanas, and other amazing Costa Rican wildlife. It is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the Costa Rican rainforest.

On this rafting excursion, you can choose between two distinct routes:

• Class 2-3 Rapids: This section features moderate, agitated water and rolling waves. It is suitable for beginners and families, including rapids like "Morning Coffee" and "Superman."
• Class 3-4 Rapids: This is a more technical route for thrill-seekers. This version tackles the most extreme sections of the river, including powerful drops like "The Terminator" and "Dos Locos."

The team will pick you up from your hotel and head toward the river gateway. After a safety briefing and gear-up, you will spend approximately two hours on the water. You will enjoy the thrill of the river as you work as a team with the rest of your group to navigate the Sarapiqui’s currents. Halfway through the descent, the group takes a break on the riverbank for fresh tropical fruit and a chance to swim in natural pools. The day will be wrapped up with a delicious traditional meal on the side of the river!

Every raft is led by a certified professional guide who manages navigation and safety. You are equipped with top-tier gear, including life jackets and helmets, and a professional photographer follows the trip to capture the descent. This expert-led approach ensures a secure and organized experience on the water.
