We had a wonderful time with our Sarapiqui Outdoor Center tour. We originally booked a kayak river tour. Upon arrival, our tour guide David was concerned that our youngest son (10) would be a little small for the kayak, and it wouldn’t be safe. He offered a whitewater rafting trip instead. None of us had ever been whitewater rafting, but David was a great guide! He provided thorough instruction, and did a great job throughout the trip keeping us safe while pointing out the amazing wildlife along the Sarapiqui River. Arturo accompanied the raft in a kayak took many pictures and videos which they emailed to us a day later. After the trip, David and Arturo provided fruit, yucca, and freshly squeezed sugar cane while they explained the many different ways the food could be prepared. After the trip, our youngest son asked how long we were on the water. When I told him we rafted for about an hour and a half, he replied that it was the best hour and a half of his life. Thank you David and Arturo!This trip was truly incredible! My boyfriend was more experienced than me, so I was quite scared at first, but our guide ("Bob") made me feel so at ease, he was very experienced and kind. And it was amazing to see the wildlife from this perspective, we even saw a monkey swim! Besides, he made som...
This trip was truly incredible! My boyfriend was more experienced than me, so I was quite scared at first, but our guide ("Bob") made me feel so at ease, he was very experienced and kind. And it was amazing to see the wildlife from this perspective, we even saw a monkey swim! Besides, he made some really nice pictures and videos for us/of us which we received for free. Also his family was really kind by the way, because (I think it was) his wife cooked a lovely meal for us and he showed us how they prepare their food, such as sugarcane. He also showed us the river from their backyard, which was a beautiful sight. Super grateful for this amazing experience! Definitely recommend!We had a rented camper van with our own whitewater equipment. We were offered a Riverside campsite (4x4) or a creekside spot surrounded with spectacular jungle botanicals, toucans, frogs and salamanders.

We had a rented camper van with our own whitewater equipment. We were offered a Riverside campsite (4x4) or a creekside spot surrounded with spectacular jungle botanicals, toucans, frogs and salamanders. Rasta was a world class kayak guide and showed us all the great lines. Davi (the owner) fed us beautiful healing vegan foods and was gracious and Informative company. The center offers ecologically sound journeys and stays with folk that understand and value the planet and human connections. This is a hidden gem in the agricultural Caribbean regions that will be well worth the drive. Pura vida!Two friends and I, who live in Costa Rica, kayaked on a Kayak Jungle Tour with Sarapiqui Outdoor Center.

Two friends and I, who live in Costa Rica, kayaked on a Kayak Jungle Tour with Sarapiqui Outdoor Center. David was great to work with as I was making reservations for the tour and he was very patient with all my questions. Eric and Stanley were amazing guides and taught us how to "read" the river as we paddled on swiftly moving water. Before we started the trip down the Sarapiqui River they gave us an instructional safety session - teaching us to how to do "wet exit" from the kayak. As we paddled down river we saw iguanas in the trees and a Boat-Billed Heron with her nest! After the kayak adventure we had an amazing lunch on the property and tried our hand at "squishing" sugar cane to make sugar cane juice. I would highly recommend kayaking with Sarapiqui Outdoor Center.Safety was their main priority and were extremely patient with beginner kayakers! From the clear instructions and lessons, to the valuable new knowledge of the wildlife, to the personalities, to the home-cooked food, this place is one of a kind!

From the clear instructions and lessons, to the valuable new knowledge of the wildlife, to the personalities, to the home-cooked food, this place is one of a kind! Definitely make this place part of your trip to Costa Rica. It’s a great way to get immersed into the culture and nature of Costa Rica. Fruit was fresh, food was delicious, safety was priority, Sarapiquí River was gorgeous, and the team was amazing and friendly! This was an exhilarating yet relaxing experience!
