Testimonials
I really enjoyed the feeling of safety with the guides, this is especially important when my children are with me. I had a great time knowing that the kids were safe and happy, I could concentrate on having fun myself. The guides were very knowledgeable about what kids of all ages can and can't do, as well as understanding each of my children's abilities. They added the right dose of challenge (as most everything we had not done before) for each of my kids (for us parents too!) so that the kids could be very proud of themselves and have great experiences to talk about for a lifetime

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.
