Nature Safari float by raft

What better way to journey through the rainforest than by a river raft. You can get to see the interesting plant and wildlife of the Costa Rica rainforest as you slowly drift down the slow-running Peñas Blancas river. Your guide will be in charge of the paddling to make sure you are heading in the right direction. He or she is also experienced at spotting those hidden creatures that hang out in the treetops. The Costa Rica Safari Float tour provides an opportunity to see many types of tropical birds, different flora and fauna, and even caimans (small crocodiles). We’ll provide a few snacks to enjoy about halfway through, and maybe even teach you a few words in Spanish. This half-day Safari Float tour is a great tour for people who have a limited amount of time or perhaps want to fit in an additional half-day tour.
