If you’ve ever dreamed of paddling through lush jungles, spotting monkeys from your kayak, and charging down tropical whitewater, then the Week of Rivers in Costa Rica might just be your perfect adventure.
Our Week of Rivers is a one-of-a-kind kayaking adventure
Designed for those who live to paddle and love discovering new places. The trip typically runs from Saturday to Saturday, giving you a full week immersed in Costa Rica’s wild and wonderful rivers. You’ll spend six days paddling, each day exploring a new river or a new section, no two days are the same.
This is a curated, fully guided experience that brings together kayakers from around the world to explore the best whitewater Costa Rica has to offer. Some rivers are fast, technical, and adrenaline-filled; others wind through remote jungle canyons with epic scenery, waterfalls, and lush tropical wildlife around every bend.
Whether we’re chasing Class II-III fun or tackling Class IV challenges, you’ll be paddling with our team of local, ACA-certified guides who not only know the rivers like the back of their hand, but are also passionate about safety, nature, and sharing their love for Costa Rica.
You will experience a handpicked selection of these whitewater gems. Each section is chosen daily depending on water levels, ensuring the best possible paddling experience.
