The Naranjo River is a Class III/IV half-day challenge for more experienced paddlers. The Naranjo River drops steeply from the coastal mountain range above Quepos through a beautiful jungle gorge, and takes you on a wild ride to sea level, passing nearby farmlands and palm plantations. The river banks are overgrown with jungle and the canyon walls meet the water at 90-degree angles.
The whitewater, jungle, canyon, and sky, make for an unforgettable day. For the advanced rafter, this is an exciting and refreshing ride through the Naranjo canyon.
As well, if you are a first-time paddler who welcomes a challenge and is looking for the excitement of big waves, hydraulics, and stunning scenery, then this white-water rafting trip is for you!
