If you enjoy outdoor activities & even more water activities, rafting should be on your bucket list 🛶. With the perfect mix of adrenaline & fun this is one of the favorite activities in Costa Rica. Our country has many rivers where you can practice from level I (beginners) to level VI (advanced).
Here you will find very valuable information to make sure you have a pleasant & unforgettable experience.
🔹Use a life jacket & helmet: safety comes first. A leisurely ride can become quite a wild experience at any moment & the best way to enjoy it’s by having the safety kit in place.
🔹Hire a company that specializes in this type of service: These types of companies have certified guides who will teach you everything you should and shouldn’t do during this activity. Don’t hesitate in asking any questions you have.
🔹Do not bring valuables: remember that at any moment you could end up in the water, so carrying a wallet full of bills, your passport or an expensive camera or cell phone might not be a good option (unless it’s waterproof).
🔹Know how to swim: as we already mentioned , you could end up in the water at any time, so knowing the basic swimming techniques could be the difference between having a fun experience or a terrifying one.
🔹Be honest with your guide & always start with the basic levels: even if you are an adventurous person who enjoys extreme activities , it is always advisable to start from the first levels because, being a new sport, you need to know the risks & signs that are used in the water before diving in like an expert.
At Costa Rica Jaco Tours, the safety of our clients is our number one priority, which is why we work with companies that comply with all the safety regulations to ensure you enjoy your trip.
