Your adventure begins with a short ride from the operations center in Chilamte, Sarapiquí, where you meet your professional guides. After receiving your safety equipment—life jacket, helmet, and paddle—you receive a full safety briefing to prepare you for the river.
Once on the Sarapiquí River, the fun begins as you work your way through a series of lively Class II–III rapids. Each rapid has its own personality, and the guides help you navigate safely while keeping the experience exciting and enjoyable. Between rapids, the river opens into calm pools surrounded by towering rainforest, giving you time to swim, relax, and spot wildlife like monkeys, iguanas, and tropical birds.
Halfway through the journey, you stop at a quiet riverbank to enjoy a tropical fruit buffet, featuring seasonal favorites like watermelon, pineapple, or mango. There’s time to rest, take photos, or jump into the refreshing water before continuing downriver.
