Enjoying the best lunch on Rio Pacuare
This trip can be WILD or MILD; you decide! "The Upper River" features 11 Class 3 and 4 rapids in a rugged river canyon. The waves are big and powerful and it is definitely what you can call classic whitewater rafting. The "Lower River" is a family fun style run with a dozen Class 2 rapids. The scenery is tropical jungle. Both options take about one to one and a half hours on the water. The latest departure for either of these trips is 10:00 AM, shore time. You may wait until you get to the river to decide which section you want, but we do guarantee the decision will be up to you and your group.
These trips include round trip transportation, EXPERT GUIDE and a Guide Trainee each raft, safety kayaker accompanying the trip, full orientation and instruction before launch, all rafting equipment and fresh tropical fruits and cold drinks at the take-out.
The price is $90 / person with a minimum of 10 persons.

| RESERVING YOUR RAFTING TOUR WITH US |
|
Many cruisers face the dilemma when deciding with whom to book a shore excursion; book onboard for a guaranteed service, or, book on shore with a local tour operator. Veteran cruisers know there are substantial savings to be had by going local and also are quite aware that substandard operations and outright scams also exist. I fully understand this. We had an office right in the Terminal de Cruceros in Limon for 2 seasons. I pulled out of there BECAUSE of the disorder and mayhem that ruled supreme. I have found that the only way to attend groups coming off of the cruise ships is with prior reservations, made via E-mail. Our prices reflect a moderate savings over on board prices but our service is a giant leap ahead of what the on board sold rafting trip gives you. To find out more about our company and who we are, look through the other pages on our web site. You may call us in Costa Rica at 011 506 556 0014

You need to book with us at least 48 hours before your trip and pay a $20/person deposit over the web site. You will see a message that says: "paying for 1 custom trip." Then you will receive an automated response and a detailed E-mail confirmation from us with your pick-up time. Our start times are basicly when the ship docks. The shorter Reventazon river trips can start up til 10AM when necessary. We will pick you up with uniformed guides and drivers right across the street from the Terminal de Cruceros building. You may pay your balance the morning of the trip with MC/Visa or cash. In event of the ship not docking, we will refund 100% of your payment back through your credit card.
