Bring on the adrenaline and enjoy the exciting “Jungle Run” on the Sarapiqui River! This is the perfect FULL DAY rafting trip with nearly 3 hours of white-water rafting along an amazing rainforest river.

The Sarapiqui River class 3-4 section is for adventurous paddlers!

We’ll pick you up at your hotel in the San Jose Metropolitan Area and travel to small Costa Rican villages to the quaint town of San Miguel to start your best rafting experience, passing La Virgen and finishing up in El Roble de Sarapiquí.

There, your professional rafting guide will give you the 101 on rafting including safety tips and technical instructions before heading on your 3.5-hour journey down the Sarapiqui River on a full-day rafting adventure!

During your descent down the Sarapiqui river, you will experience over 40 exciting rapids along 22 kilometers of lush, vibrant rainforest.

We’ll be sure to get your adrenaline pumping, as you make your way through exciting rapids like “The Pipeline,” “The Terminator,” and “Dos Locos.”

About half way down the river, you’ll stop and watch the rapids from the shore, while enjoying refreshing tropical fruit and relaxing with the rest of the group.

Then, after the second leg of your rafting journey, you’ll finish the day with an unforgettable homemade lunch at our restaurant (the Red-Eyed Frog) before heading back to San Jose!
