Multiday Kayaking Trips

Our Multiday Kayaking Trips are custom trips designed around your group’s schedule, ability level,  tastes in accommodations, and budget.  Our U.S. office will work one-on-one with you customizing the trip so that every detail is catered to your unique perimeters ensuring the the absolute best possible experience for you and your fellow boaters.  Does it get any better? We don’t think so!

Here is a look at what we could put together for you:

Day 1 – Arrive & Transfer to Turrialba

Today you’ll arrive at Juan Santamaria International Airport in San Jose where your friendly Green Frog Adventures Guide will be waiting to transport you to your first exotic destination. Turrialba is a sleepy little Mountain Town located on the slopes of a now semi-dormant 10,000 foot Volcano, Volcan Turrialba. Turrialba is also known as the Whitewater Rafting center of the Country. Once we arrive, we’ll settle into our plush plantation style Hotel located on the shores of its own private lake. Get a good night’s sleep, tomorrow we start the Adventure!!

Meals: No Meals Included Today

 

 

Day 2 – Warm up day on the Pejibaye River

Today we’ll take a short drive through the sugar cane and coffee fields to the headwaters of the Pejibaye River. This blue-green mountain jewel is a stunning introduction to Costa Rican white water. Splash down one rapid after another as you gaze in wonder at the surrounding jungle. We’ll stop half way down on one of the many white sand beaches for a delicious lunch before we finish off the run. The river eventually runs into your hotel’s lake so we’ll arrive just in time for an authentic Costa Rican dinner by the pool.
