There you will get fitted for rafting vest and helmet. Then you are on your way in 4 X 4 vehicle to the put-in spot on the bank of the Tenorio River. Once you arrive at the river, guides will unload boats and paddles and teach you what you need to safely navigate the river. You will soon know the terms like "high-side left" and when you need to paddle or back-paddle. You are part of a team and it is vitally important that all rafters participate in the fun and adventure!
The four-man rafts are designed to navigate the narrow Tenorio, with some really wild rapids and incredible drops. The backdrop of the primary and secondary dry forest are a stunning sight and monkeys, lizards and birds can be seen and heard as you travel down the rapids.

This was the best trip we did, while in Costa Rica. The guides were knowledgeable and trained. A nice River with lots of fun rapids. Definitely, a must do!

The whole thing was amazing. The guides were perfect, funny, and knowlegeable. We visited in July and it had rained the day and night before, the river had swelled and was full of sediment which gave us a "50-50" shot at flipping for the 12 foot drop. This is an adrenaline river not for those looking for just sight seeing. The food at the end was capital D-elicious.
