Tour information

La Fortuna town is the starting point heading for Peñas Blancas River; this trip takes no more than 20 minutes.
This river owns a wide segment of calm currents; therefore you can learn and visit the wildlife in a unique style, by raft, and with a paddle.

A possibility to observe a large variety of animals is always there; for example, sloth, monkeys, crocodiles, birds, frogs, and more.
While rowing down the river, our guide will share important information about the species of flora and fauna that border the river.

After an hour and a half, we will arrive at a ranch where some natural snacks will be waiting for us, there are fried plantain, homemade Tortillas, curd or cheese, pure chocolate, coffee among others. We will continue our journey in the mini-bus to go back to your hotel in La Fortuna. The river trip will continue for 40 more minutes, this is until the exit point to take the minibus to return to your hotel in La Fortuna.

Without a doubt, this is a safe natural adventure for all ages!

One of the most memorable trip in Costa Rica
Alexander Gil
I went to Costa Rica with my wife and 2 young children, 3 and 5 and thought it was a great trip to view the wild life. This trip did not disappoint. The guides were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The bus arrived on time and the trip came back on time. We were able to see a basilisk lizard, crocodile, bats, and lots of monkeys. we were surprised by the snacks at the end of the tour which inc luded grinding our on sugar cane. The kids felt safe and had fun. Joshua was our guide and pointed out many animals and described them well to us with lots of extra details. I highly recommend this trip.... (read more)

Nice easy float with lots of wildlife
John Hollis
We enjoyed the afternoon cruise down the Penas Blancas, a scenic and slow moving river with lots of wildlife. We saw lots of Howler monkeys, crocodiles, bats, and a great variety of birds. The crew were very professional and we always felt safe. Our guide Albarone was very knowledgeable and had a great eye for picking out wildlife. The trip concluded with a visit to a small farm situated on the ri ver and hosted by a very nice couple that provided a few local snacks, and some great coffee or sugar cane drink. It was one of the only slower moving rafting adventures that did not require a very long drive from the hotels in the La Fortuna area.
