Safariboot am Fluss Peñas Blancas

Our safari float was awesome! Yes, it poured rain the entire trip, but Nelvin, our guide, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Despite the rain, we still saw a sloth, crocodile, and several lizards as we floated down the river. At the end, we went to a farm where they served us banana cake, cassava cake, plantains, and amazing coffee. We highly recommend this experience.

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. Oscar was an incredible guide — friendly, knowledgeable, and amazing at spotting wildlife I never would have seen on my own. I saw birds, reptiles and so much beautiful scenery along the river. Eddie, the driver, was also fantastic and made the whole trip smooth and enjoyable. The float itself was peaceful, relaxing, and one of the best nature experiences I had in Costa Rica. After the float, amazing snacks were provided and I was allowed to walk around the farm. I am now addicted to Tamarindo! I drank it every where it was served on the rest of my trip! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting La Fortuna! Thank you Oscar and Eddie!!!!!

Melvin was very kind and very knowledgeable. I enjoyed this experience

We did this with our two kids age 7 and 10 and it was an awesome experience. We saw a crocodile, a caiman, tons of birds, cows, many basilisk lizards, and even a few white-faced monkeys and howler monkeys together swinging in trees right above us. We were able to observe the monkeys for about 10 minutes. Our guide took his time to ensure we had a great experience. It was a perfect mix of relaxing and exciting, and the kids loved spotting wildlife throughout the trip. The little snack/meal at the end was a really nice touch as well. Great for families and a fun way to see Costa Rica’s nature up close!

Beautiful river scenary. Very relaxing and enjoyable. Great for kids and seniors. Guide was friendly and helpful.

Our guide was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and entertaining. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I would highly recommend this activity.

It was a very relaxing float trip. The guides were very accommodating and pleasant. They worked hard to find as much wildlife as possible. We saw several iguanas many different types of birds turtles, and actually saw a couple of crocodiles. It’s a good way to spend a few hours from kids to elders considering my wife and I are both 75. I would highly recommend this to anybody looking to spend an easy relaxing morning or afternoon excursion. After the float trip, they offered everyone free snacks and drinks and they actually did a short demonstration on how coffee was made.

Martin was a great river guide! We saw 2 crocodiles, many iguanas and birds, a few monkeys and one sloth. The ride was about 1.5 hours in total, takes about 20 minutes to drive to the launch line point. Only your feet get wet, easy to sit and take pictures as you try to spot animals.

I really enjoyed the Safari float. The guide was great (5 stars for Warner). After we put on our life jackets, he gave us our instructions. Once on the river, he explained a lot about the ecosystem. We saw crocodiles/caimans, a sloth, monkeys, birds, cows, bats, iguanas. It was easy and calm. The break was ideal for a pineapple. The driver (on the way back) drove very fast. There were no seatbelts in the back and I didn't feel safe.

Martin, our guide, was friendly, funny, and so knowledgeable about the area, its history, topography, and wildlife. He showed us howler monkeys, bats, iguanas, king fishers, toucans, an owl, and even a mamma porcupine in a tree with her baby. He made sure to get our raft close enough to see and photograph the wildlife. We came away with some incredible photos and an unforgettable experience.
