This adventurous, family-friendly, full-day trip is a unique
white water river rafting adventure with lots of “perks”. Of course
you can expect, as the Manuel Antonio specialist, that our world-class, internationally-trained,
bilingual guides and safety kayakers will expertly guide and teach you how to
navigate through this exciting river experience. But you and your group of fellow
rafters start slowly and build your way up to an unforgettable yet manageable
adventure that will leave you either begging for more.
Starting with a 4 x 4 ride into the “wilds” of
Costa Rica’s tropical rainforest with breathtaking scenery of more remote
areas of the Savegre, your journey begins at “Silencio”. This is
a little local village of thatched roof dwellings where you can enjoy a typical
Tico breakfast after a “bumpy road” journey, yet before you paddle
down the Savegre. Make sure you make your reservations for lunch, and don’t
forget to meander through the beautiful flora and fauna of the surrounding african
palm plantations before you head off into the winding mountains to start the
rafting leg of your journey.
The Savegre River provides Class II, III and some IV rapids
that are manageable in sturdy rafts that accommodate 2 to 6 people comfortably.
Our guides stop at locally known swimming spots and breathtaking waterfalls.
If the rafters want a break from paddling, and there is always time to enjoy
the abundant variety of wildlife along the river. On most trips, rafters will
observe egrets, osprey, toucans, parrots, kingfishers, cormorants, and many
other species local to this protected area of the tropical rain forest. After
a steady 13 mile trip down the river, we wind our way back to the little village
of “Silencio” where a gladly awaited hot lunch “Tico Style”
and local refreshments are waiting. Once fed, happy and well-traveled, our now
experienced Savegre River rafters spend a leisurely trip home driving back to
Manuel Antonio.
