The Sarapiqui River offers a wide range of options from first time paddlers
looking for a class II-III challenge to families interested in a safe paddle trip.
Set in the lowlands of the rainforest one will enjoy breath-taking views of
tropical birds and lush jungle landscapes. Sarapiqui allows one to not only
enjoy the rapids but also revisit that childhood freedom to play we often loose
sight of in the midst of the daily riors life brings, relaxing in the flat, crystal
pools between the rapids, swimming and splashing around. Even beginners
and families enjoy the big splash of rapids named “Gringo’s Hole” “Confusion”
and “Airforce” which will give your family an experience they will never
forget!
This trip begins in Fortuna where our expert guide will pick you up in private
transportation from your hotel and you will travel 1 hour and 30 minutes to
arrive at the river. At the river, after fitting all of your equipment, we will give
you a safety orientation talk and paddle practice before the adventure begins.
Once on the river, in store for you is three action packed hours where in the
middle you will stop for a fruit break and rest time to restore your energy for
the latter half of the paddle. At the end of the river portion your private
transportation will be waiting for you and will take you five minutes to“Tirimbima” the Flow operation center in Sarapiqui. There you will get a
towel and be able to shower and change in private facilities getting ready for
lunch, buffet style. After drinking a cup of Costa Rican coffee one can better
digest their food with a walk in the beautiful lush gardens and cross a 300
meter long hanging bridge over the Sarapiqui river taking in a bit of a
different perspective from above than below. What good memories! The
return trip to Fortuna will be 1 hour and 30 minutes where you can relax after
your hard days work.
