Highlights
  • Jacamar Naturalist Tours - This combo combines two extreme adventures into one thrilling tour. We will start with a challenging ATV ride through a private farm with amazing views of the Arenal Volcano, followed by the opportunity to float over turbulence rapids on a tropical river. After some safety instructions and a driving test, we will begin our ride on modern ATVs through mountainous terrain and prairies for approximately 28 km (17 miles) while taking in the breathtaking views of the Arenal Volcano and the volcanic mountain range. After a little rest and a great lunch, our bus driver will take us for about an hour through rural areas, plantations, and towns to reach the river. Once we get there, we equip you with a life jacket, helmet, and paddle as well as safety instructions. The 11 km (7 mile) section of the river has more than 30 rapids, big waves, and a variety of challenging obstacles. No one will walk away dry! Surfing the waves, 360° turns, and maximum adrenaline is all part of this thrilling adventure.

So much fun - Booked this whitewater tour last minute and it was awesome! Our guide was Jilbain. He was funny and was friendly. My husband and I had a so much fun. We did level 2 & 3 rapids. The Sarapiqui River is beautiful!! We will definitely book again on our next trip.

Exhilarating Fun! - This was an amazing excursion! Our guide did a wonderful job helping us navigate white water rafting for the first time. He took us to spots where we could get out of the raft to swim and even jump off a cliffed area into the water. The pictures they took were incredible but was best for the people in front of the raft. So I'd recommend switching seats when possible so everyone can get good shots. The fresh fruits and provided lunch was also delicious. I'd highly recommend this excursion.

Just go…you won’t regret it!! - This was the most amazing tour! It was such a great balance of relaxation and adventure. My boyfriend, and I both enjoyed every minute of the ATV ride, even in the rain! And the white water rafting was incredible! All of the guides were very friendly and informative, and I would not hesitate to book with them again!

A must-do! - We were a little skeptical about booking this tour due to lack of reviews, but we cannot recommend it enough! Carlos was very informative and engaging and we had a blast. We felt very safe the entire time we were rafting. Great for beginners! The ATV was also well-ran and we were pleasantly surprised by how thought out the stops were. If it's cloudy, don't expect to see the volcano, but it is there! Lunch was at the end after ATVing and rafting and was delicious and filling. They also gave us the best and sweetest pineapples we've had, both after the ATVing and rafting. The tour fills out your day, but not super tiring, we got back around 3pm. Best excursion of our Costa Rica trip. Don’t hesitate, book it!!! Highly recommend!

Don’t hesitate! Do it!! - Best tour we have ever done! ATV was a good time, definitely more for someone who wants a slower easy pace with beautiful views. Highlight was the white water rafting. It was our first time and the river is level 2/3. Our guide/new friend was Christian and he was the best. So knowledgeable, funny and really thought of everything to make the day special. We felt safe and relaxed the whole time! Thanks Christian!

Perfect way to experience land and water. - Perfect day with an exhilarating and scenic tour on ATVs followed by just the right amount of rapids. Guides were attentive — took time to point out special wildlife and got great photos throughout the day. Lunch was delicious!

Disappointed - When we arrived to do the tour they told us about the age restriction for driving the ATVs. There was no indication while booking the tour that the riders had to be 19. So when doubling the price should have gone down but the would not adjust for the cost difference. The ATV part was nice but not adventurous enough and the rapids were quite light.

Suck - It was pouring rain when we were supposed to be ATVing and we ask to cancel for safety and they would not ! We are all 65 and over and worried about safety but they didn’t care,

No volcano and no slopes - Has nothing to do with volcano. Fake advertisement. You done get to drive Atv in water. Whit water rafting has too many rocks, not steep slopes at all? Disappointing
