Savegre Whitewater Rafting in Manuel Antonio

A journey of unsurpassed beauty, jungle vegetation and exploding whitewater.

For the adventuresome beginner and experienced rafter the Class II and III rapids will have you filled with adrenaline as you paddle hard over the waves.

Along the way you will be astounded by the awesome canyons, waterfalls, and primary rainforest of Costa Rica.

The Savegre River is a magnificent stretch of whitewater that begins its course by winding out of a sparsely inhabited valley in the mountains.

Named one of the most pristine rivers in Central America, the Savegre River is full of incredible scenery at every turn.

One of the highlights of this trip is the midway stop at a waterfall tucked into the jungle close to the river edge, here you will get to swim under a waterfall and enjoy a delicious snack before embarking on the remainder of your rafting excursion with Amigos del Rio.

We are able to run this river year-round making it an excellent option no matter when you choose to visit beautiful Costa Rica!

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.
