Motorboat River Tour

Sarapiquí

Overview

Highlights:

  • Cruise along the Sarapiquí River in an eco-friendly boat
  • Spot birds, mammals and reptiles in their natural habitat
  • Learn about how the ecosystem lives in harmony

Discover the vibrant wildlife and lush landscapes of the Sarapiquí River on an eco-friendly motorboat tour. Over the course of two hours, we glide silently along the water as our low-emission boat ensures the river and surrounding environment remain undisturbed, allowing you to fully appreciate the area’s natural beauty. Keep your eyes peeled for a variety of birds, including needle ducks and tiger herons, as well as mammals such as playful monkeys and river otters. Along the riverbanks, you may also spot iguanas, turtles, and even crocodiles, all thriving in this rich tropical ecosystem. Accompanied by an expert guide, we learn about the local wildlife, their behaviour, and the vital role they play in maintaining the health of the ecosystem.
