Peñas Blancas
Safari Float

Drift silently through the rainforest. The ultimate wildlife encounter for nature lovers.

The Experience

Your journey begins as you board our stable, inflatable rafts. There is no need for strenuous paddling; the gentle current guides you down the river while your expert guide steers and scans the forest. This "floating classroom" approach allows for uninterrupted observation and photography.

Rainforest Explorers guides are masters at spotting wildlife. They might point out a family of Howler Monkeys napping in a Guanacaste tree, a Two-Toed Sloth curled up in a Cecropia, or the prehistoric silhouette of a Caiman resting on the riverbank. It’s a sensory experience filled with the sounds of flowing water and tropical birdsong.
