Experience an amazing ride through the rainforest on the Tenorio River viewing wildlife - the adventure of a lifetime! Great for beginners too, this is sure to give you an adrenaline rush you won't forget.
Rafting down Tenorio River
12 kilometers (about 2 hours) of the Tenorio River, passing through sections dominated by over 22 class III-IV whitewater rapids. In smoother sections, take a look around at the lush, forested scenery & spot tropical birds or monkeys high in the trees. This unique rafting tour finishes with the thrilling 12-foot waterfall drop, “Cascabel Falls.”
When you arrive to the end of your exciting rafting journey at our private river exit, do a quick hike to the 4×4 vehicle, and then head back to to the tour base in Canas.
After arriving back to the tour base, you’ll then be treated to a delicious Costa RIca Style lunch called a Casado with rice, beans, salad, plantains, and choice of protien. Dietary restrictions can be accommodated.

We had so much fun!!! The rapids were exhilarating. Our tour guide (Mario) had 20+ years of experience and was very knowledgeable of all the different trees and wildlife along the river. His personality coupled with the rapids made our experience full of fun and excitement

All instructors were very professional and nice. They take very good care of all tourists. The trip was amazing, not dangerous for us at all. Third and fourth level is only for instructors.
