World class whitewater rafting at only half an hour from the beach.
The Naranjo River borders the Manuel Antonio National Park. It is a Class III/IV half day challenge for more experienced paddlers that runs from May-early December.
The Naranjo River drops steeply from the coastal mountain range above Quepos through a beautiful jungle gorge, and takes you on a wild ride to sea level, passing nearby farmlands and palm plantations. The river banks are overgrown with jungle and the canyon walls meet the water at 90 degree angles. The whitewater, jungle, canyon, and sky, make for an unforgettable day.
For the advanced rafter, this is an exciting and refreshing ride though the Naranjo canyon. As well, if you are a first time paddler who welcomes a challenge and is looking for the excitement of big waves, hydraulics and stunning scenery, then this whitewater rafting trip is for you! This section of river is approximately 7 miles long, and you will have a safety kayaker and photographer kayaker to accompany you on this adventurous rafting journey.

Tour Reviews
The staff were very friendly and professional. They are also extremely accommodating as we received transportation, a delicious breakfast and lunch. It was our first time white water rafting and it definitely will not be our last thanks to the very knowledgeable staff. Everyone had such a great energy. The rafting was adrenaline pumping and by far our favorite activity that we did in Costa Rica.
My partner and I had an incredible experience!!

My family had a blast hanging out with Pablo for the day. The water was perfect just like the waterfall and the prepared fruit. The lunch was made and was also delicious! Would love to come back and do it again!
