Costa Rica Travel Tips and suggestions

 

Maximizing the use of your rent a car

If you have a rent a car and want to get your money’s worth, Chirripó River Class III+ is your best option. You can travel directly to the river and take advantage of great rates. It is close to San José, right along the main highway to just about everywhere… very easy to get to. Don´t pay for transportation costs you don’t need. More

 

If you are in San José

If you are in San José and want to spend just a half day for your rafting adventure, we recommend the Chirripó River, Class III+, available with morning and afternoon departures daily. More

 

Maximum Adrenaline - Arenal

If you are in the Arenal/ La Fortuna Area,  and looking for a high adrenaline activity, rafting the Toro River, is your best option.  This Class III-IV river is just over 1 hour from la Fortuna, and offers 2.5 hours of high action rafting. Mini Cultural tour included. Recommended for rafters with experience from 12-55 years of age.  More

 

Travelling to Sarapiqui, Tortuguero, Cahuita

 If you have a rent a car and are travelling to Sarapiqui, Tortuguero, Cahuita, Puerto Viejo, Punta Uva, or La Fortuna/ Arenal Volcano, we recommend that you turn your travelling day in a rafting adventure. The Chirripó River put in is en route – saving you time and money to do more! More

 

If you have time

If you have plenty of time in your itinerary and don´t want to miss out on the opportunity to raft in the world-renowned Pacuare River, there is nothing better than the 2 day tour. Though the rafting section is the same as that of the one day tour, you will not feel over tired, since the 3 hour transportation each way is spread over 2 days. The fascinating lodging options and intense rafting will be unforgettable. More

 

If you love nature

If you love nature, and will be staying in the Sarapiquí area, we recommend rafting in the Sarapiqui River. The scenic beauty, low price, and short distances will make this tour one of your trip´s highlights. More

 

If you are in the Arenal Area

If you are in the Arenal/ La Fortuna Area, and are ready for your first rafting experience, the best tour option is the Balsa River, which comes complete with a mini cultural tour. We recommend this "Full Adventure with a Taste of Culture" tour for beginners, ages 8 to 63. More
