Rafting in Sarapiquí – Nature and Pure Adrenaline

Experience an unforgettable adventure on the Class II and III rapids of the Sarapiquí River, deep in Costa Rica’s tropical rainforest. This tour is perfect for those seeking a safe adrenaline-filled experience surrounded by lush landscapes, wildlife, and the vibrant energy of nature.

Along the way, you may spot exotic birds, monkeys, butterflies, and more in a region known for its biodiversity and conservation efforts.

Sarapiquí is located 95 km from San José (approx. 2 hours) and 75 km from La Fortuna (1.5 hours), making it an excellent option for a half-day excursion or as a stopover during a transfer tour — a thrilling break en route to La Fortuna, the Caribbean, or other destinations.
