River Kayak
Velvet draped hills with hardly a houses in site, fishermen hand-lining from the edges of the sea, thatched roof shelters from the sun . . .
Cattle grazing in the fields . .
Monkeys in the trees . . .
Come and kayak on the still waters of the Rio Ora River Estuary. Here hundreds of interesting sights and sounds of the jungle await you. Ancient trees, ibis, herons, roseate spoonbills, the beautiful beach at Camaronal National Wildlife Refuge and more peace and quiet than you ever could imagine await. A picnic lunch and off we go!
The Metate: Our most popular carefree trip is a nature float in sit on top kayaks. One or two people per boat will paddle down a river and through estuaries alive with fish. Tropical jungle surrounds you, filled with howling monkeys and exotic birds. The adventurous can then challenge themselves where the river meets the ocean and the cautious can ride oxcart style down the beach to a picnic lunch. A beautiful side hike, which has often produced 2000 year old Chorotega Indian artifacts, reunites us with the oxcart and support vehicle. Duration: 4-5 hours. Includes guide, all equipment, and lunch.
Calm and serene, this adventure is for all ages and all skill levels. There are no houses on the river, no motorized boats, and very few, if any, other tourists. Untapped Costa Rica at her very finest. Be sure and book a trip with us today! We can accomodate groups of up to 16.
Week-long tour packages including lodging, two trips to local area rivers and coastal routes, two trips to undisclosed exotic destinations, and two trips where you can take the kayaks and wander off on your own are also available. Please see combo link for more details.
Delightful tree house cabinas or main house for rent within walking distance of Playa Carrillo are also available with advance reservation and Popo's cooks up some fantastic local and North American cuisine.
