Volcano Travel Costa Rica

Description

What better way to journey through the rainforest than by a river raft. You can get to see the interesting plant and wildlife of the Costa Rica rainforest as you slowly drift down the slow-running Peñas Blancas river. Your guide will be in charge of the paddling to make sure you are heading in the right direction. He or she is also experienced at spotting those hidden creatures that hang out in the treetops. The Costa Rica Safari Float tour provides an opportunity to see many types of tropical birds, different flora and fauna, and even caimans (small crocodiles). We’ll provide a few snacks to enjoy about halfway through, and maybe even teach you a few words in Spanish. This half-day Safari Float tour is a great tour for people who have a limited amount of time or perhaps want to fit in an additional half-day tour.

Fantastic trip

We are a family of 6 adults. The float was ideal for all six to go together with the guide. 4 of us had paddles to occasionally help with steering, particularly when the guide spotted an animal to get nearer to. Our guide was exceptional, spotting things we never would have seen. We did a lot of trips on this holiday but agreed that this was one of the best, if not the best we did. The guide was called Raul, and he was extremely knowledgeable. As well as telling us about the animals we saw, he told us a lot about the surrounding area on the way there. From the float we saw crocodile, caiman, tayra, Jesus Christ lizard, toucan, howler monkeys and more. You do need water shoes as your feet will get wet in the float, otherwise just shorts and tee shirts. A life jacket is provided. A wonderful trip, would highly recommend. There was fruit for us when we got off the float at the end of the trip, which lasted about 2 hours.

Operator response

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with us! We are thrilled to hear that your family enjoyed the float trip and that the experience was one of the highlights of your holiday. We’re especially happy to know that Raul made the tour so special with his knowledge and keen eye for spotting wildlife. It’s always our goal to make every trip both fun and educational, and it sounds like you got to see some amazing animals, from crocodiles and caimans to toucans and howler monkeys! Thank you also for your helpful feedback about the water shoes and attire; that will surely help future guests. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you and your family back for another adventure in Costa Rica.
