If white water is your passion and you are seeking a new challenge, jump on
the raft with us for an adrenaline packed ride down the river. Continuous
rapids, landscaped by lush rainforest walls dripping with waterfalls just gives
you a flavor of what will be in store for you. During approximately three
hours you will paddle over 40 rapids, many of them being rated Class IV. Big
gradient leads to a big splash as you ride down the pristinely clean, sparkly
waters of Sarapiqui, one of the most beautiful rivers in Costa Rica. This trip is
for experienced paddles with a minimum age of 16 years old.
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 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.
