On arrival, get suited up for your whitewater rafting excursion and listen as your instructor explains the basic paddling and steering techniques, as well as important safety rules. Then, jump aboard the raft and set out on a thrilling 2-hour rafting ride.

Cold drinks and fresh fruits will keep you energized along the way, and you can also take the opportunity to cool off with a swim in the river.

After returning to land and drying off, refuel with a typical Costa Rican lunch (lunch) at a traditional country estate, before setting out on the return journey.
