Adventure Connection Monteverde or Arenal to Samara Beach and Go White Water Rafting Along the Way

Go rafting on the way from La Fortuna or from Monteverde! (or vice versa) to Samara Beach. Take a scenic drive along windy roads to get to Guanacaste and then travel on isolated, rustic backroads, followed by a rugged, 4x4 ride to the the river put-in at the bridge over the Río Tenorio. As part of our People+Planet=Prosperity project, we have created a public river entrance for use of the local public with government approval.

You’ll receive a thorough safety briefing and get fitted for your equipment -- helmets, lifejackets and paddles. Then you will practice with your guide and enjoy a beautiful 2.5-hour rafting trip along the arrid and impressive canyon of the Tenorio River in Costa Rica’s picturesque Guanacaste province. Get over 20 fun, exciting rapids, a fresh fruit snack, hike to a local waterfall, and plenty of wildlife along the way like iguanas, tropical birds and monkeys.

This unique rafting tour finishes with a thrilling waterfall drop of over 6 feet!!

After the rafting tour you will do a quick hike to the 4x4 vehicle and drive out of this isolated, unspoiled region of Costa Rica. Then you will have time for a delicious lunch, use the changing rooms and then we'll head out for the beach. You will be taken to your hotel in the Samara Beach area in time for a glorious Pacific sunset!

This can also be done in reverse i.e Samara-Rafting-Monteverde or Samara-Rafting-Arenal Volcano
