Discover the exuberant Flora and Fauna of the Tropical Forest with this Safari Float Kayak tour; an excellent alternative for travelers looking for activities with social distancing.
The Tour starts from your hotel, where your Naturalist Guide will pick you up to start the activity. The Peñas Blancas River is located 15 minutes from downtown La Fortuna and is considered an animal sanctuary due to its extensive sighting. You will discover a great variety of species; Monkeys, Alligators, Crocodiles, Jesus Christ Lizard (it really walks on water), a variety of Birds, Sloths, among other species.
At the end of the tour, Tita Yolanda will welcome us to her home where we will discover Costa Rican customs and its exquisite cuisine.
This Tour is recommended for the whole family.

We had a great guide who pointed out many animals. The monkeys and little bats were a favorite. Good to see a croc too!

The tour was great. we had an awesome guide and saw many cool animals, birds, a crocodile etc.
Although, the guides did not specify that the people who are kayaking do NOT have a meal included at the end like the rafters do. my girlfriend and I are here on a budget so we unexpectedly had to pay for our meal at the end. It should have been more clear to us that the meal was not included with our kayak tour. I also feel we should have been accommodated because it was not clear. Everything else was great beside that.

We loved seeing the monkeys. We rented the kayaks instead of the raft. It was much better experience

My daughter has to go alone as I was unwell. She had an amazing time and really enjoyed the tour. She said her guide Roy was excellent and really looked after her, showing her all the animals. She saw a baby crocodile, iguanas and monkeys. Just disappointed that I couldn’t go. Thank you for a great experience for her.

Great guide. Beautiful scenery. Interesting talk about how chocolate is grown and made at the end along with snacks and great coffee.

This was such a fun adventure for our family (kids ages 12 & 13). We've been kayaking a couple times on lakes, but never on a river, and we found the river and it's current to be a much more enjoyable experience. It just pulls you right along and doesn't require a ton of effort to kayak - mostly just directing the boat in the right direction. There were some families doing the raft tour along-side us, so we're seeing the same scenery/animals, but our method of transport seemed more fun. A great way to experience nature! Highly recommended!

What a wonderful trip! We were picked up right on time and the adventure began. We were very fortunate to have a small group! Right from the start Christopher and Lidia (spelling?) were personable and informative. They made sure everyone had what they needed for a great day. Throughout the trip they made sure everyone was safe and seeing as much as possible. Christopher knew an amazing amount about everything we were seeing. When my husband and I got overly excited about seeing a Toucan and unexpectedly dumped ourselves in the river we were quickly helping us out and safely getting us back in the boat. I appreciated their good spirits about it all as it was highly embarrassing!Lidia even was able to save my phone. Thanks Lidia!!!! The trip ended with a delicious snack and presentation on Costa Rica's cocoa industry. Yum!! I would do this trip in a heartbeat. Both Christopher and Lidia made us feel like friends. They and the other staff were all wonderful. If you enjoy wildlife, fun, and floating down a river do not miss this trip!

The guides were knowledgeable about the animals in the area and kept an eye out for us to stop and take pictures. They were cautious about keeping us safe and they were very fun and kept us laughing. This was one of the highlights of our trip!

I loved our experience! The guides were great and we saw many animals including howler monkeys, boa constrictors, lizards, owls, butterflies, and crocodiles. I liked the bonus experience learning about the cacao and the chocolate making process. Would recommend!!

We had a fantastic time with our kayaking guide Christopher! It was very relaxing and fun!
It rained on and off but that didn’t affect our experience! We saw monkeys, lots of birds, iguanas, crocodile, bats and unfortunately no sloths!
We kayaked in a small group in front of many rafts which was perfect!
The snack afterwards at Tita Yolanda’s Kitchen was well done and the chocolate education was great!
The only negative thing was the prior communication on pick up. It was confusing and eventually we called and had a Spanish speaking friend confirm that we would be picked up at our Airbnb.
So we woke up over an hour too early!
We would highly recommend this kayaking safari tour!!!
