This prolific marine life and guides with a great eye for marine life -- large and small -- is what keeps divers returning year after year. Our dive package is with a PADI 5-Star Dive Center operating out of the resort in the Gulf Of Papagayo. 3 Days of diving are included, and long-range trips to the Catalina and Bat Islands are available for even more underwater adventure.

The Tenorio River (Class III-IV) is the only river available to enjoy Class III and Class IV white water rafting in the Guanacaste beach area and one of the most exciting in Costa Rica. Four-man guided rafts plunge through wild rapids and tumbling drops of up to 10 feet.This river totally rocks -- and it is not for the meek and mild. Four-man rafts and 6-8 ft drops make it even more challenging to stay in the raft. Please remember that everyone paddles. The Tenorio River in Costa Rica rises near the Tenorio Volcano where it becomes a fast moving river, with 15 miles of rapids popular for white-water rafting, then flows to join the Corobicí River, the best river in the area for wildlife observation.

Here we meet up with the rafting operators and head for the Tenorio River. After the scenic drive you will check in with the rafting company and will transfer to their vehicles for transport to the put-in point of the Tenorio River (approx 30 min drive). Experienced River Rafting Guides will carry the rafts, paddles, safety equipment and refreshments to the riverbank where you will be given rafting equipment and basic rafting and safety instructions before you embark on your rafting tour. Start with gentle white water breaks and work your way through Class III and IV rapids and thrilling drops. Safety kayakers accompany rafters for the entire trek. Break for snacks and beverages and to enjoy a little time on land or in the sun with your rafting guides and other rafting companions. At the end of the tour, guides will carry the gear up the banks and once loaded you will return to a restaurant overlooking the beautiful Corobici River and enjoy a typical lunch and local fruit beverage.
