Testimonials
Costa Rica is an amazing country and I can't wait to come back! However, I have to say that the tours that I did with Explornatura really made my trip all that more enjoyable and the next time I come back I know that I will use Explornatura for ALL of my travel needs in Costa Rica. I got to see many unique and interesting sights around the country and did it all with the nicest people, coolest guides, and with a little flavor of adventure! The white water rafting trip was a beautiful and exhilarating adventure. The guides have a way of making you feel extremely safe and prepared but do all they can to make sure you have fun! Pura Vida!

Duckies (Inflatable Kayaks)
The Pejibaye River is a beautiful class II and III rapid river located about thirty minutes from Turrialba. We will go down six kilometers of the river in the small inflatable kayaks which are perfect for navigating and exploring the class II and III rapids in the river.
Each ducky fits one to two people so you will go down the river with a guide in the ducky with you to help you better navigate and enjoy the river and ensure a safe and fun-filled adventure.
It is a perfect tour to enjoy with all of the family. The adventure begins about 45 minutes outside of Turrialba where your guide will first give you a safety talk to orient you to the equipment and teach you the commands you will need to use on the river. After practicing all the commands and drills, you will begin your kayaking experience! You will help the river guide maneuver the ducky by paddling and following his/her instructions. As you are paddling down the river you will enjoy the surrounding landscapes of the river which include rolling coffee and sugar cane plantations, a variety of wildlife, and the cool, refreshing water of the Pejibaye River.
