White Water Rafting

Savegre River 
All Year Long
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 – so go on the Naranjo River high-octane trip next – or
either leave completely satisfied and happy that you experienced
one of Costa Rica’s famous rivers, the Savegre.
Starting with a
4x4 ride into the “wilds” of Costa Rica’s tropical jungle 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, to ponder on continuing a rafting experience
on the Naranjo River or to savor the experiences of your day
just past.
