Peñas Blancas River Safari Float
Beskrivning
Denna tur är perfekt för dig som inte vill ha mycket promenader, men massor av möjligheter att observera och fotografera den naturliga skönheten och djurlivet. Flotten gör en lugn och fridfull resa, där du bara ibland behöver paddla lätt för att undvika ett hinder. Materialet gör att den är lätt, mycket flytande och stabil utan att påverka flodbotten när den passerar eller störa djuren som bor i den. Båtkaptenen är också en erfaren naturforskare med stor kunskap att tolka ekosystemet och ge intressant information om det. Hans erfarenhet har också gett honom en unik förmåga att lokalisera arter i den täta vegetationen, även de med kamouflage och mimikry anpassningar.

Amazing experience with a knowledgeable guide
My mom and I had the best time! She is in her 70s and they took great care helping her in and out of the van and raft. The float was calm and beautiful and we saw monkeys, toucans, a crocodile, kingfishers, and tons of other birds. We would do this trip again in a heartbeat. 10/10 recommend!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you and your mom had such a fantastic time on the Peñas Blancas River Safari Float. It means a lot to know our team helped make the experience comfortable and enjoyable. The calm beauty of the river combined with the incredible wildlife always creates such a special experience, and we’re so happy you were able to see monkeys, toucans, crocodiles, kingfishers, and so many other birds along the way! Thank you again for your kind recommendation. We would love to welcome you both back for another adventure in Costa Rica anytime!
They picked us up at our hotel, it was great. Driver was good. It was a 20 or 30 minute drive to the river. We were allowed a restroom just before our tour. We put on our raingear as it was raining. We had good life jackets. The guide helped us into the boat. My aunt and I were in a small rubber raft with our very own guide. Families were together in larger rafts. The rafts were not close together so it seems like we had the river to ourselves. Our guide was great, very knowledgeable. The water was calm. This is a very safe ride. My aunt is in her late 80s and was fine although her back was bit sore afterwards. We saw monkeys jumping from tree to tree. Our guide pointed out a Caiman, a large green frilled lizard, a toucan and other birds. We might have seen more animals except for the rain. There were many huge trees and very thick stands of bamboo all along the river although just beyond the trees was agricultural land. It was absolutely pouring rain, a deluge, the whole time. I LOVED IT! A true jungle experience! Afterwards we went to a small farm to sample hot drinks, banana bread and plantain along with other snacks. We watched many colorful birds at their bird feeder. Just be sure to wear nice long raincoat as you will be seated in the boat. We just wore the disposable raingear you would take camping. They worked fine. The boat ride was about 1 hour. The rest of the time was the time eating snacks, and the van ride back and forth from our hotel. I would recommend this tour. I wish I had photos but it was raining too hard! It is expensive, but I thought it was worth it.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, and for joining our Safari Float. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your full experience. We’re delighted to hear that you and your aunt had such a great time, even in the rain. It’s especially meaningful to know she was able to enjoy the tour as well. Our guides will be very happy to hear your kind words about their knowledge and care throughout the journey. Rainy days can make the experience feel even more like a true jungle adventure, and we’re glad you embraced it. It’s also great to hear you enjoyed the wildlife sightings and the visit to the farm afterward with local snacks and birdwatching. Thank you as well for sharing helpful tips for future travelers. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you both again in the future.
The company was extremely professional and our guide was very knowledgeable. There was a slight mixup with our reservation. The company immediately apologized and rectified the issue without any excuses. The tour itself was very peaceful and our guide shared a lot of great insight about the environment as well as cultural distinctions of the area. He also had a very sharp eye and spotted a variety of animals along the float. We saw monkeys, iguanas, birds, and a tyra but unfortunately no sloths or crocodiles on the afternoon we went.

We had a great safari float trip with our tour guide Gonzalo. He was very attentive and pointed out plenty of wild life especially howler monkeys which I had not seen yet during our trip. After the trip we had a delicious snack at the farm. Loved the plantain and fresh cheese. Only recommendation is better and more clear communication and instructions as to where to meet for the tour. I contacted Jacamar a few times and they did not respond. Also the meet up location was a little difficult to find. It’s in the 2nd floor of a building, stairs around the back and there was no instructions on where to park. Once we finally met with our guide our tour went great.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are very glad to know that you enjoyed the time on the river and that the experience itself felt relaxing and rewarding. It is always special to have those close encounters with wildlife, and we are happy the day offered those moments. We also truly appreciate you bringing the communication and meeting point details to our attention. This is very important for us, and we will make sure to review and improve these aspects so that future guests have a smoother start to their experience. Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing us. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future.
We (2 adults + one 15-yr-old) truly enjoyed our morning river float. It was peaceful and relaxing, with just a little paddling required from two of us because the river is on the low side at this time of year. Our guide, Juersson, was fantastic - friendly, great English (our Spanish is almost non-existant), and extremely knowledgeable about the birds, other wildlife (we saw many howler monkeys, a sloth, iguanas, tiny tree frogs...), and the habitat and history of the area. Our driver Marta was also lovely. The trip was extremely well run and felt very safe. We also really enjoyed the large "snack" at the end at a little farm cafe, which ended up being our lunch.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are very happy to know that the time on the river felt peaceful and enjoyable for your family, and that the experience offered a nice balance of relaxation and connection with nature. It is always special when the surroundings and wildlife come together to create memorable moments. It is also wonderful to hear that the guiding and support throughout the tour made you feel comfortable and well taken care of. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again in the future.
Pablo was amazing! He was kind, funny, patient, and knowledgeable. Going down the river with him felt like hanging out with a friend. Highly recommend!

Amazing rafting experience with plenty of native wildlife sightings. Hugo was a master in finding animals in the jungle for us to enjoy. He also steered our raft with expertise avoiding obstacles and stopping in short notice to enjoy the sightseeing.
We had a great time on this trip. Super easy and made for a nice relaxing day. We saw monkeys, iguanas, toucans, etc. our guide was great and made sure we had the best chance to spot all the wildlife. The farm at the end was cool too. We walked through and checked out their chickens, horses and goat.
