We’ll collect you at your accommodation in Sámara or Punta Islita and transfer you in a comfortable vehicle to the rafting launch site.

(Optional) Arrange a 20-minute transfer along scenic dirt roads from Sámara or Punta Islita to the Tenorio River launch point.

Arrive at the Tenorio River put-in and suit up with helmet, lifejacket, and paddle. Your specialist rafting guide will demonstrate paddling strokes, commands, and river safety protocols before you push off.

Tackle Class III and IV rapids as the river speeds through rainforest gorges. Between rapids, drift under verdant canopy, spotting iguanas on sunlit boulders and colorful birdlife overhead.

Brace yourself for the signature 12-foot waterfall plunge—an exhilarating highlight that leaves rafters cheering.

After the final rapids, disembark for a short trek through tropical forest to a waiting 4×4, experiencing the river corridor’s hidden trails.

Return to base for a traditional Costa Rican meal—gallo pinto, grilled chicken or fish, fresh fruit—plus changing rooms and showers to refresh.

Board the vehicle for the scenic drive back to your hotel, arriving in the late afternoon with memories of river triumphs and jungle discoveries.
