Overview

This full-day tour starts with hotel pickup from locations including Playa Langosta, Tamarindo Beach, Playa Conchal, Playa Flamingo, Playas del Coco, and Playa Panama at around 7:00 am. Participants travel by air-conditioned minivan to Canas, where they prepare for the whitewater rafting trip. From Canas, a 4x4 vehicle takes the group for 30 minutes to the launch point on the Tenorio River. The rafting covers about 12 kilometers and lasts approximately two to two and a half hours, depending on river conditions. The route includes over 22 class III and IV whitewater rapids. During calmer sections, participants can observe the surrounding forest and may see tropical birds, iguanas, and monkeys. The rafting ends with a 12-foot waterfall drop known as Cascabel Falls. After rafting, there is a short hike to a waiting 4x4 vehicle that returns the group to Canas. Back at the tour base, a Costa Rican lunch called Casado is served, which includes rice, beans, salad, plantains, and a choice of protein. Dietary restrictions can be accommodated if informed in advance. Changing rooms are available before the return trip to the hotels, timed to arrive around sunset on the Pacific coast.
