Wave Expeditions offers a thrilling experience down the rapids of the Rio Sarapiqui. Costa Rica is known for world-class rafting, and the C. lass II & IV of the Sarapiqui River won't disappoint. The Costa Rica rafting adventure tour begins with a 1.5-hour scenic drive that winds through plantations of papaya, pineapple and yucca at the base of the majestic Arenal Volcano. Once rafters reach the "put-in-spot", Wave Expedition's skilful, trained guides will go over the safety procedures and rules to prepare rafters for their paddling responsibilities. The Sarapiqui River winds through spectacular greenery, so between rapids, rafters might be treated to sights of monkeys toucans and other Costa Rica wildlife species. At the halfway point, rafters will take a break while the guides prepare some delicious snacks and tropical fruit on the river bank. After the break, it is time to hit the rapids again for more heart-pumping excitement. At the "take out" spot, rafters will be greeted with an icy beverage and dry towel. Just a short journey down the road, rafters will be able to change into dry clothing and enjoy a delicious, typical Costa Rican lunch.
