The Floating Tour

Jungle Hike • Waterfall Swim • River Drift

What to Expect

Step off the beaten path and immerse yourself in one of Costa Rica’s most exhilarating adventures. The Floating Tour combines hiking through lush rainforest, swimming in a secluded jungle waterfall, and drifting down a serene tropical river. It’s an unforgettable fusion of nature, adrenaline, and relaxation.

This tour invites you to engage all your senses. As you move from dense forest to hidden waterfalls to a gentle jungle river, you’ll feel the terrain shift beneath your feet, hear the songs of tropical birds, and float weightlessly beneath towering trees rarely seen from this perspective. It’s a full-body immersion—physically and emotionally—into one of Costa Rica’s most vibrant and untouched ecosystems. Expect to get muddy, refreshed, amazed, and completely unplugged from the ordinary.

Tour Description

Your journey begins with a scenic 30-minute drive from Drake Bay to a pristine primary forest. Once there, lace up your shoes for a 1-hour guided hike along dense jungle trails, with chances to observe wildlife as you descend deeper into the rainforest.

At the center of this tropical haven lies a hidden waterfall, perfect for a refreshing swim in crystal-clear waters. Fresh fruit and snacks will be provided as you enjoy the peace and solitude of the jungle.

The highlight of the tour follows: a tranquil river float. Wearing a lifejacket “diaper-style,” you’ll drift down a calm jungle river, surrounded by untouched nature. Along the way, keep watch for monkeys, tropical birds, iguanas, and other exotic wildlife along the forested banks.

The adventure wraps up with a 45-minute hike to a remote beach, where a delicious beachside lunch awaits before a short ride returns you to Drake Bay.
