Planning your vacation on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica? Try our panoramic Safari Float on the Tenorio River as a Guanacaste day trip. Enjoy the tranquility of Costa Rica on the lower section of the Tenorio River on a two-hour, easygoing safari float!
This is the ultimate activity for nature lovers of all ages, especially children! 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! Your eagle-eyed guide will paddle and steer your raft as he points out many species of plants and animals that live in the jungle.
Spot howler monkeys, lizards, crocodiles, and even river otters, plus an incredible amount of tropical birds such as ospreys, boat-billed herons, parrots, and kingfishers. About halfway down the river, you are able to see the river from land, as you pull over to the side to have an enjoyable and very refreshing snack of tropical fruit and ice-cold spring water.
Then, make your way down the rest of the river where an open-air 4×4 jeep will be waiting for you! Hop on board and ride the bumpy backroad through the scenic landscape until you reach a local restaurant where you’ll sit down to a delicious Costa Rican lunch before heading back to your hotel in Guanacaste. What a perfect day!
