Cần Quan Tâm

Your safari float trip begins with a pickup at your hotel in the La Fortuna-Arenal area. The bus may make stops at other hotels to pick up other trip participants. At the put-in point, you'll board a stable raft that provides your means to explore this gentle river. You’ll drift quietly for an hour and a half or so as your guide points out wildlife, identifies birds, and tells you about the verdant foliage of the rain forest. Keep your binoculars at the ready for the best viewing prospects. This gentle trip is one of Costa Rica’s few river outings that is suitable for small children. Life jackets are provided for all guests, but the likelihood of needing them is very minimal. All guests are advised to apply sunscreen and insect repellent, however. Small children and those prone to sunburn should wear a brimmed hat and lightweight long-sleeved shirt for added protection from sun exposure. Enjoy a tropical fruit snack and cold drinks during a break midway through the trip, as you step ashore onto the riverbank. Lunch is included at the conclusion of your float trip. After lunch, a bus transfer is provided back to your hotel.

This was an amazing experience from beginning to end. The guide pointed out every interesting views and gave so many facts and that was before we got on the raft boats! We saw monkeys, so many birds, iguanas, caimans and an otter. Fabulous experience, Jorge and Gustavo were both brilliant. We were a group of nine on two boats and we did a lot of laughing. It was the most relaxing trip and the delicious banana cake, coffee and fried fresh plantain with cheese brought our trip to an end. Thank you so much.
Great tour!

We thoroughly enjoyed our morning float from La Fortuna along the Penas Blancas. Relaxing, peaceful and a great way to enjoy the wildlife from a different angle. Guide Moises and driver Hugo were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. At the end, the fruit and cakes at the little café were delicious and we spotted beautiful birds close by right from our table. Thank you for a great experience.

We booked a safari float and had a really excellent time. It was so relaxing floating down the river and seeing the forest from a different angle. Moises our guide was friendly and helpful and great at pointing out wildlife inc monkeys, birds and even a crocodile. We were picked up promptly from our hotel. At the end of the tour we finished at a lovely cafe with a drink and some delicious snacks. Recommended.

Moises and Carlos were excellent guides. They were able to find sloths, white- faced Caspian monkeys, Howler monkeys, alligators, and many species of birds. They were very knowledgeable of the history of the area, and were lots of fun. Highly recommend this tour!

Carlos, our guide was amazing. We had a group of 5 ranging in age from 30 to 83. The river was moving fast due to recent rains. We saw Sloth, a group of at least 20 howler monkeys, ring kingfisher, a couple different types of heron, Jesus lizards, many other birds. Carlos got in the water to hold the raft still so we could get good views of the wildlife. The float was a little fast but not white water, it's usually slower. We had a nice snack at the end at a small Cafe with beautiful gardens & were served fruit drinks, plantain, cheese, and a baked dessert. Carlos made sure my mother was safely able to get in and out of the raft. They use larger rafts than others we saw go by and ours seemed more stable. There are 8 to 12 concrete steps to get down to the water, it can be a little muddy at the bottom. Bring binoculars, dry bag and keep hold of your cell phone or bring a holder for it around your neck. The outer rim on the floor of the raft holds water. Don't want to drop thing in the raft as it slides right into that wet area. Dry bag is helpful &,water shoes. Did not notice any bugs or mosquitoes. Carlos was very knowledgeable about all the wildlife, the river, etc. Great job!!
Excellent guide

What an amazing tour from start to finish!! Everything the guides told us we would se we did! We saw beautiful country and wildlife. We saw howler monkeys, white face monkeys, toucan, turtle, striker fish and owls. Guides were amazing. Highly recommend Enzo, Sevie and the driver Eduardo. We learned so much about Costa Rica and they also gave great recommendations for restaurants and other activities. We had ages from 87 to 17. Everyone enjoyed it. I would recommend going first tour of day to see more wildlife. We ended visiting with a local family and it was wonderful!
