From families to expert adventurers, we have an adventure that will meet your interests and abilities. Our company’s sustainable tourism practices stem from our complementary goals of wanting to protect and conserve the rivers and rainforests of Costa Rica; while empowering and engaging our country’s local communities to play leading roles in this effort for their own economic, educational, health, and soulful well-being. We invite you to join us for a vacation you’ll treasure long after your return home.
Whitewater rafting is a great way to experience Costa Rica. Because of its mountainous topography, Costa Rica offers rafting opportunities throughout the country with a wide variety of rivers. Choose exactly the kind of trip that best meets your needs and interests, from family-friendly easy to moderate whitewater all the way to intense Class IV+ whitewater for the most hardcore enthusiasts.
Most of our trips are one day rafting adventures, with our signature Pacuare multi-day trips offering you an extraordinary rafting and eco-adventure with lodging at our unique Rios Tropicales Lodge. These multi-day trips offer additional activities from our Lodge, including tree-planting and community sustainable farming and development tours. Available activities depend on the number of days of the trip.
