White Water Rafting - Rio Savegre, Manuel Antonio

The Rio Savegre is one of Costa Rica's top white water rafting rivers and is especially great during Costa Rica's green season (May-November) as all the rain in the mountains pours down the river into the sea meaning rough rapids for the adventure tourist. There is also the Rio Naranjo which offers similar rafting. Do not think that if you have not done this before that you cannot do it, 90% of the people doing the adventure tour are first timers. There are different levels of rafting based on the roughness that you are looking for. But basically class V is the highest and I the lowest.

Normally a class I or II is very slow with no rapids and can be compared to a fast river float. This rafting is great for young children and gives people the opportunity to watch their surroundings. Class III is faster water and some little rapids and great for beginners who are not too confident. Class IV is the person looking to do real white water rafting, the adrenaline seeker. Above is a picture of class IV rapids. Finally class V is for the experts!! We will tailor any rafting trip to your specific needs.

Along the Rio Savegre you will be astounded by the awesome canyons, waterfalls, and primary rainforest. The Savegre river is one of the most pristine rivers in the country, lurking just behind the shroud of lush foliage, you will find a number of truly magnificent waterfalls of the Savegre's tributaries.

Keep your eyes on the rainforest as well since wildlife is abundant, as you float down the river in some of the calmer areas. Includes: Bilingual guide, round trip transportation, all high quality equipment, bull breakfast and picnic riverside lunch.

The companies we use for the rafting trips are experienced companies that we have been using for numerous years. The guides are certified trained and the companies are registered and insured. White Water Rafting is one of the most regulated tours in the country!!!
