Drijvende tour in Rio Claro met lunch vanuit Drake Bay

there were five of us and we had an amazing time! carlos was a fun, friendly and knowledgable host. the lunch was delicous and he brought local fresh fruit and snacks to keep us energized on this adventurous hike and equally challenging float down the river that included some fun and slippery bouldering. lots of natural knowledge was shared, both flora and fauna and made the jungle experience all the better!

Didn’t quite know what to expect with this tour as we booked on last minute during our trip to Drake Bay (on recommendation from our hotel) but had an amazing time. Definitely a highlight from our trip and by far the most immersive rainforest trip we did. Lots of the other tours are great but can sometimes felt like experiences ‘on rails’, whereas this included a pretty technical hike (over 1hr30 in total) through the rainforest before getting into Rio Claro. Carlos was a great guide, with over 30 local years experience, he was incredibly knowledgeable and breezed through the hike where we struggled (even though he was wearing crocs!). The floating itself, sitting in the life jacket, was novel and relaxing. It was great fun jumping into the water at some very remote locations. The scenery is of course stunning throughout - we saw some macaws, lots of lizards and owls! Some of the hiking is quite uneven underfoot and does require some clambering over steep and slippery areas near the water, so would definitely recommend wearing trainers (that you don’t mind getting wet and drying later). Carlos did have a rucksack we could put a water bottle and phone in, but otherwise we tried to bring as little as possible. The couple we went with brought a wet bag (though still ended up with some items getting damp). Overall would highly recommend, particularly if you’re looking for something a bit more adventurous and active during your stay at Drake Bay.

Dit is de beste ervaring in drake bay. Een hike door primary jungle is wel uitdagend maar zeker de moeite waard. Carlos is een super guide met veel kennis en leuke verhalen. Onderweg kregen we heerlijk fruit om even bij te komen. Aan het eind van de hike is het zwemmen bij de waterval een cadeautje. Het drijven door de rivier is prachtig en ontspannend. Bij het laatste stuk hiken kom je lang prachtige strandjes om vervolgens te mogen lunchen in een lokaal restaurant in een prachtig stukje jungle. Wij hebben super genoten en raden dit voor iedereen aan!
