Day 1 : San Jose To Pacuare River

Location: Pacuare River Lodge

The spirit of adventure stirs with the morning light as you're whisked away from your chosen start point—be it the urban landscape of San José, the verdant slopes of La Fortuna, or the Caribbean charm of Puerto Viejo. 

The stirring roar of Rio Pacuare's rapids soon beckons, signalling the start of an exhilarating 13 km paddle. Navigate through 14 powerful rapids, each a test of teamwork and the river's might, until lunchtime signals your arrival at the secluded Pacuare River Lodge. Nestled in primary rainforest, it offers a plush reprieve for weary paddlers. 

Post-lunch, choose from an array of activities—whether it's a hike to observe the vibrant flora and fauna, fishing in the river's depths, or simply absorbing the tranquillity in a hammock. 

As dusk falls, dine amid the pulse of the jungle, reflective of the day's wild melody.

Included Experiences:

  • Navigate the untamed waters of Rio Pacuare with experienced guides.
  • Explore and relax at Pacuare River Lodge, a riverside sanctuary.

Note: This tour offers the flexibility to start from San José, La Fortuna, or Puerto Viejo, catering to your travel preferences and location in Costa Rica.



Day 2 : Pacuare River To San Jose

Location: San José

Awaken to the jungle's symphonic dawn chorus at the Pacuare River Lodge, where the anticipation of today's odyssey is palpable. 

Embark on the second leg of your white-water escapade, fortified by a sumptuous breakfast. Today, the river turns up its challenge—you'll face the might of Class IV rapids over an exhilarating 23 km course filled with approximately 30 heart-pumping rapids. Relish the rush of navigating the river's tumultuous twists and turns. 

Amidst adrenaline spikes, indulge in a restorative hike to unearth the jungle's hidden wonders and enjoy a picturesque riverside lunch that offers a moment of tranquillity. 

Your journey culminates at our own private Exploration Center in Siquirres. There, you'll have the opportunity to refresh and change, mingling with your fellow adventurers, recollecting the moments of thrill, against a backdrop of lush gardens and serene terraces.

Included Experiences:

  • Brave the river's exhilarating Class IV rapids under expert guidance.
  • Immerse in a guided jungle hike, connecting more deeply with nature.
  • Riverbank pauses for an energizing lunch and reflection.

Note: This memorable escapade concludes with the option to return to San José, La Fortuna, or Puerto Viejo, accommodating your onward travel plans and preference for the journey's finale.

The Bamba Team really made my journey one of the most memorable experiences of my life! Still so nice and supportive! They handled everything and responded to each question within a few minutes. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. Especially if you want to do a lot of activities and travel to a lot of different places without feeling rushed. They've also helped me with specific issues that weren't covered by the tour, as well as answering general questions. Thank you so much for making my journey so enjoyable!

The tour was fantastic; I was able to visit some of Japan's most beautiful locations, and the accommodations were excellent, with convenient access to the city's best attractions. Also, our tour guide was fantastic. I will pick bamba again and recommend the tour to anyone who wants to see Japan while having a good time!!

I only have good words about our trip to Kenya. The entire experience was totally magical and I struggle to say how fantastic it was. We were fortunate enough to have a brilliant vehicle for ourselves, but we had great luck with David for our guide too. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and nice. Thank you for helping to create this fantastic safari experience. I Highly recommend this company.

Bamba Experience has been the best tour guide I've ever had. Every tour has been a thrilling experience. There are so many things to choose from. Bamba has been extremely helpful in providing us with all of the necessary information for our departures and activities! Bamba has made this a simple and enjoyable experience. I'll certainly tell my friends and family about it! Thank you very much, Bamba!!

Melanie Liu Chang(Australia)

Feb 20 2020

We organized a trip through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia on the hop-on, hop-off bus. It made the trip so much simpler for us as first-time travelers because we just had to send an email to arrange the bus, which avoided the hassle of looking for the best price and so on! We also had a number of tours included, they were all amazing and saved us the trouble of trying to find the best offers on our own; it also meant we got to see a lot of stuff we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I will strongly suggest and use again!

Our Bamba tour of Vietnam was fantastic. We had a lot of new experiences and all of the help we needed to make this a stress-free vacation. The well-organized accomodation and transportation were excellent. We will certainly use Bamba in the future.

Jun 25 2019

I had booked our Uyuni Salt Flats & Desert Adventure 3D/2N (Uyuni to Atacama) tour via an Australian travel agency, but they had made an error and refused to assist us or take responsibility. This was very difficult for us because we wanted to have a stress-free honeymoon. I contacted Bamba and I asked if we could talk on the phone so they made the improvements to our tour reservation that our travel agent declined to make. The quality of service was exceptional and they generously offered to us a complimentary gift because it was our honeymoon. I can't say enough good things about Bamba.
