Get pumped for a challenging descent into a lush rainforest canyon that will stimulate your adrenal glands to the max. We are the only rafting company that offers the opportunity to run this exhilarating and scenic stretch.

Afterwards, we will proceed to the river, a stretch that is considered one of the most technically challenging commercially run rapids in Costa Rica.

You will be accompanied by expert river guides and safety kayakers. There will be two breaks from the heart pounding rapids to refuel. The first stop will be along the river, where we will enjoy some fresh fruit. The second stop will be for an authentic Costa Rican lunch, you’ll also learn about the growing, harvesting, production of chocolate, medical plants, fruits and sugar cane.

The bus ride was nice, our guide was very clear when explaining how everything worked. And he provided an interesting and playful commentary throughout our ride. When we arrived we were met with an easy process to get ready for our experience and we left within in ten minutes. I really liked our guide and overall had an amazing time. I’ve done white water rafting before and this experience wasn’t super challenging. I got super wet and it was sprinkling off and on. The scenery was so beautiful and bugs weren’t an issue. The lunch when we got back was delicious and all the staff were great. I loved it all and have no complaints.

We had to do Category III/IV due to water problems but the staff was very accommodating and the trip was amazing. Much more than rafting, gave us coffee demonstration, made sugarcane juice etc. Was the best thing we did in Costa Rica. Highly recommend.

We have rafted all over the place. By far, Moises was the best guide we’ve ever had. He’s an expert on the raft, but even better, he is engaging, entertaining, and full of fun. He made our day! After rafting, we enjoyed an amazing meal. Do not miss a chance to raft with Descent!
Amazing and fun

It was an extraordinary experience, super fun. Warner was our tour guide, it's excellent! In addition to training very well for the experience, during the tour he showed us various animals such as sloths, toucans, and other birds. I would recommend the experience and Warner as a %100 tour guide.
