From families to adventure junkies and from novice rafters to those who enjoy the thrill of zipping down
a river, Costa Rica offers some amazing white water rafting experiences.
With roaring rivers tumbling down from the mountainsides, get a different view of Costa Rica’s natural
exotic beauty and amazing wildlife as you ride the many rivers here. There are a number of rivers that
one can white water raft on. However, the Rios Pacuare, Reventazón, Sarapiqui and Corobici are some of
the best places to white water raft on in Costa Rica.
Do keep in mind that you choose an experienced white water rafting company, as these businesses are not
regulated. An experienced guide means providing you with the proper equipment, rafts, paddles, life
jackets and helmets. Also make sure that you choose a bilingual guide so that you know what’s going on
and what you can expect as you paddle down the river.
With no prior experience necessary like in other adventure sports, white water rafting is meant for one
and all. But do be careful as it can get quite rough out there. Being a good swimmer is an essential
pre-requisite for going white water rafting. Ideal for the adventurous at heart, it is important that
you realize that this sport also has a number of risks associated with it.
The best rivers are the Río Reventazón and the Río Pacuare, with the months of June through October
being considered as the wildest and the wettest months of the year. Runs are available for all levels
of experience, so be sure to put on plenty of sun block and don’t forget to bring a spare change of
clothes.
