Observing nature from the water
The safari float on the Río Tenorio is the perfect combination of nature experience and tranquillity. In a stable inflatable boat, you glide leisurely through the lower region of the river while an experienced guide points out the fascinating flora and fauna. Look out for howler monkeys, iguanas, river otters, crocodiles and a variety of tropical birds - including kingfishers, parrots, ospreys and night herons.
This tour is particularly popular with families, nature lovers and anyone who wants to experience wild Costa Rica in a relaxed atmosphere. After the trip, you will enjoy fresh tropical fruit and a traditional Costa Rican lunch - a perfect end to the day in the midst of a tropical idyll.
