White Water Rafting in Costa Rica

Wave Expeditions White Water Rafting

White water rafting in Costa Rica felt like floating down a real life version of an amusement park’s river rapids ride. As we were floating down the river, we saw monkeys and iguanas hanging over us in the trees. The rapids were a lot of fun without feeling like you were hanging on for dear life. But the class three rapids were still definitely a thrill. 

Em and I were in the front of the raft, and by the first rapid we were completely soaked! My favorite part of the ride was the 5-10 minutes where we were able to get out of the raft and float down the river! It was 10x cooler than any lazy river I’ve ever been on. Our guide was great and half way through we stopped to eat freshly cut pineapple and watermelon! To finish the day off, Wave Expeditions took us to Vida Campesina for an authentic Costa Rican lunch. This a thrilling activity that is great for all ages!
