Description

This is a UNIQUE, one of a kind trip.   Why is that? Well, we invented it :)   We’re innovative, and we realized there aren’t many options to do night tours in our area. We thought: “We go to the river at night all the time by ourselves because its super fun and an incredibly different experience, why not share this experience with everyone else?”   So, we present to you as passionate Sarapiquí nature lovers: “The Gloaming River Adventure".  This tour takes place on our beautiful Sarapiquí River and you can choose between two different sections: the first section being 100% flat water with no splashing gentle rapids and very little paddling throughout, or, the second section, small rapids, some splash, and light paddling to navigate through the river. Both options are family friendly, last the same amount of time, and include the same golden goods such as a head lamp, a fluorescent wrist band, tropical fruits, and our traditional “Jungle Cheesecake” … Just wait til you try it, you’ll be willing to pay a lot for our secret recipe. Through this fun, unique, and incredible night tour, you will be able to immerse yourself in the Tropical Rainforest at night, where you'll be surprised about all the sight-seeing of the flora and fauna that Costa Rica has!
