Your adventure begins with early pickup from a selected San José hotel and comfortable transportation toward Costa Rica’s Caribbean slope. Stop at the operations center for an included traditional Costa Rican breakfast before changing into rafting clothing.

At the river, certified bilingual guides provide equipment, paddling instruction and a comprehensive safety briefing. Work together through famous Class III–IV rapids while passing steep rainforest walls, waterfalls, calmer pools and the dramatic Pacuare Gorge.
