Corobici River Raft - Floating Tour

OVERVIEW

Float down the mostly calm and meandering waters of the Corobici River on a raft while taking in the gorgeous scenery. A leisurely drive through the fertile Guanacaste flatlands will offer a hint of the natural beauty that lies ahead, but nothing rivals seeing it up close. The river lies in the shadow of the Palo Verde National Park and the foliage is dense, green and comes right to the river’s edge. After a briefing to ensure that you maximize the experience, you will ease into the water and begin floating downstream. Hundreds of species of tropical birds inhabit this area, so keep an eye out for species such as ospreys and kingfishers in the tree branches scanning the water for prey. Roseate spoonbills, white ibises and bare-throated tiger herons are often seen wading in the shallows. If you don’t see howler monkeys, chances are, you will hear them playfully screeching in the tree canopy.
