Savegre River

This adventurous, family-friendly, full-day trip is a unique white water river rafting adventure!

Starting with a 4x4 ride into the “wilds” of Costa Rica ’s tropical jungle with breathtaking scenery of more remote areas of the Savegre, your journey begins at “Silencio”.This is a little local village where you can enjoy a typical Tico breakfast before you paddle down the Savegre. 

The Savegre River provides Class II, III and some IV rapids that are manageable in rafts that accommodate 2 to 6 people comfortably.  Our guides stop at locally known swimming spots and breathtaking waterfalls; there is always time to enjoy the abundant variety of wildlife along the river. 

On most trips, rafters will observe egrets, osprey, toucans, parrots, kingfishers, cormorants, and many other species local to this protected area of the tropical rain forest.  After a steady 13 mile trip down the river, we wind our way back to the little village of “Silencio” where a gladly awaited hot lunch “Tico Style” and local refreshments are waiting.  After lunch, spend a leisurely trip back to Manuel Antonio
