Costa Rica 2 in 1 Safari Float and La Fortuna Waterfall

This tour begins at 7:30 AM. You’ll be picked up from your hotel and taken to the Peñas Blancas River, arriving at 8:00 AM—this is the time of day when birds and animals are most active. As such, travelers will have awesome opportunities to see wildlife and experience the sights and sounds of the rainforest. The float takes 2 to 3 hours and is suitable for the whole family. Tropical fruit will be offered during the float.

After the safari float, you’ll drive to the La Fortuna Waterfall. The La Fortuna Waterfall cascades from a lush forest into a cold and clear pool. You’ll have the opportunity to swim, take photos, or simply enjoy the scenery.

Lunch is included at the end of this tour. A local family will prepare a delicious, typical-style meal. You’ll probably be hungry from all the activities and are sure to enjoy this home-cooked food.

The tour starts at 7:30 AM and ends at 2:30 PM.

The guide and company were the best we had in Costa Rica. The trip was exceptional and the guide worked very hard. The steps to the waterfall were very difficult and not suitable for older people. The lunch was amazing!

Michael was an excellent guide. He made our experience memorable.. The home served food was also really good.

- ANAND G, AUG 2018

This was one of our favourites! Our guide Michael was the best. We loved the float and the little luncheon and dinner afterwards. I think Michael was the best guide of our entire trip as he was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the ecology.

- KERRI L, MAR 2018

Couldn’t have been better! Michael and Edgar were fantastico!

- BRENDA R, FEB 2018

Our guide Edgar and our driver were fantastic

- WENDY D, FEB 2018

The safari float was quite nice. We saw lots of wildlife and took some good photos. Our guide was quite knowledgeable. You don't have to do any paddling - just watch the animals. The waterfall hike is quite strenuous. Two of our party of 4 decided to not try it. Most people can make it okay but the hike back up is quite an effort. The effort is well worth it.

- ROBERT W, JAN 2018

William, the guide, and Edgar, the driver provided a memorable, informative experience. William is a walking encyclopedia for the plants and animals we saw along the float. This tour is a way to imerse onesself into this area. We are both seniors and they accommodated our physical abilities.

- ELLEN D, SEP 2017

Our guide, Hansel, was excellent!

- JENNIFER W, JUN 2017

We were the only tourists with our friendly tour guide, so we had a personal safari float experience. We asked lots of questions and the guide was very interested in telling us everything the river.

- MICHAEL W, NOV 2016

I thought this was very overpriced for what it was. $145 p/p was too much for 2 excursions-float/waterfall. Guide was nice.

- LISA C, NOV 2016

Everything about this tour, and especially our tour guide, exceeded our expectations. Fantastic!

- AMY G, JUL 2016

Both guides, Alexander on the float and William on La Fortuna waterfall were great!

- ELAINE V, APR 2016

A big rap for our tour guide Zender who was charming, informative and funny and went out of his way to make sure we saw lots of the local wild life and gave us lots of information about Costa Rica itself.

- PETER K, APR 2016

This was an AMAZING tour! Saw so many animals and our tour guide was wonderful.

- JUSTINE H, MAR 2016

Antonio was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed the safari float with monkeys, sloths, birds and lots of reptiles. The lunch included in this excursion was one of the best meals we ate during the entire trip.
