The Exclusive Costa Rica Whitewater and Wildlife Rafting Class III Experience begins with a pick up at your hotel or Airbnb of preference, then we start a short drive thru La Fortuna town, until we reach to a magestic outdoor viewing point where sloths can be found in their natural habitat. You will be able to spot two-toed, three-toed sloth, frogs, different species of birds then jump into a refreshing natural swimming hole.

Afterwards, we drive for 45 minutes passing by four small towns: La Fortuna, El Tanque, Los Angeles and La Vega while our specialized guide will taught you about the different plantations that will be found along the road, to mention some: cassava, plantain, banana and pineapple,etc.

Once arrived, you will be provided with a lifejacket, paddle, helmet and the safety instructions. Then you will be ready to paddle down 10 kilometers of adrenaline, rolling rapids with names like “Congo Loco” and “Rock around the Croc!”

Great for all SLOTH'S LOVERS.

What to expect

Pacuare is world famous for its sheer beauty. A true river gorge, it is flanked by steep, green walls. You see waterfalls cascade into the river from both sides.

The first 4 miles consist of fun class II-III rapids which is a perfect time to test your new river skills and gain confidence in your team. After about 40 minutes we will enter the famous Pacuare River Gorge, which is 5 miles of some of the best white water Costa Rica has to offer.

We have daily departures from, the Arenal Volcano and Caribbean Coast, giving you the choice to start and finish at the place of your convenience.
