Take a great trip out of the big city to come see the abundance of nature and wildlife on our Jungle Safari Float in Sarapiqui! This river trip is a smooth two-hour paddle down the quiet Sarapiqui River on the class 1 section and is great for nature lovers of all ages, especially children and their parents! Your naturalist guide will paddle and steer your boat as you float down the river and point out all of the exotic wildlife such as birds, frogs, insects, and monkeys!

We’ll pick you up at your hotel in the San Jose Metropolitan Area and travel to Sarapiqui, starting out by visiting a beautiful waterfall on the Pozo Azul River. Here you and your family can enjoy the nature and cool crystal clear water that the waterfall offers you. Then, we’ll head towards our restaurant (the Red-Eye Frog), located in El Roble of Sarapiqui, while getting yourself ready to fall deeply in love with our two-hour Jungle Safari float.

Your eagle-eyed guide will show off Costa Rica’s amazing wildlife as he points out a wide array of plant and animal species. You’ll float next to the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor (San Juan La Selva Biological Corridor) where there is a good possibility of seeing sloths, howler monkeys, lizards, and even black river otters.

Plus, this area is famous for its incredible amount of tropical birds such as ospreys, boat-billed herons, parrots, kingfishers and the great green macaw, which is on the endangered species list.

For those who want to be even closer to nature, you will have the chance to get out of the raft and into the river and float down the river.

The Jungle Safari Float is great for nature lovers of all ages – children love this tour! It’s also perfect for couples or large groups who want to spend some quality time and relax together in the middle of a tropical paradise!

And to finish your day we will return to the Red-Eye Frog restaurant to have a delicious traditional Costa Rican lunch and some amazing Costa Rican gourmet coffee.

We’ll then drive you back to your hotel in our comfortable, air-conditioned vans with FREE WiFi!
