About the experience
Experience one of Southern Costa Rica’s most special seasonal rafting adventures.
The Guabo River delivers a thrilling Class III+ white water rafting experience, with continuous rapids, splashy drops, waterfalls, narrow canyon walls, and lush tropical vegetation surrounding you throughout the journey.
Led by certified professional rafting guides, you’ll navigate fast-moving water and technical sections while enjoying the perfect balance of adrenaline, teamwork, and safety.
The Guabo is one of our true hidden gems. This seasonal river typically runs during Costa Rica’s rainy season, from August through November, depending on rainfall and river levels. When the conditions come together, rafting the Guabo feels like a gift from nature — a rare opportunity to experience one of Southern Costa Rica’s wildest, most beautiful, and most rewarding rivers.
If the Guabo is running during your visit, don’t miss the chance to experience it.
