Full Description: On this half day white water adventure you will encounter challenging rapids surrounded by a pristine jungle. If you are a first time or experienced paddler looking for the excitement of big waves, hydraulics, and stunning scenery, then this trip is for you!

The drive from your hotel to the put-in is only 30 min. (aprox.). At the river we will provide you with a flotation device, a helmet and a paddle and your professional white water rafting guide will give you a safety orientation. We will then jump in the rafts and start negotiating rapids like "Robin Hood" and "Hurricane Caesar." Half way through we will stop to catch our breath while enjoying some snacks and fresh fruit on the river shore. At the end of the trip our transportation will be waiting for you to take you back to your hotel.
