Sloth spotted from the Peñas Blancas River

Peñas Blancas River Floating

Drift silently along the Peñas Blancas River, which winds through lush, verdant forest, and see a huge variety of wildlife including monkeys, sloths, iguanas, tortoises, crocodiles and several types of birds.

Traveling in a motorless rafting boat, you will be able to see the jungle from a totally different perspective, quietly floating downstream and taking photos of the local wildlife, whilst getting the opportunity to taste tropical fruits straight from the tree.

This tour is suitable for all ages and abilities, and you will be accompanied by an experienced naturalist who will explain many fascinating details about the trees, plants, birds and other animals that live in the Arenal region.

The tour will last approximately four hours and includes snacks and drinks. Please note that this is a group tour and there may be a few other hotel stops on the way to the boat.
