Wave Expeditions




Come join us for Costa Rica's best variety of whitewater rafting and river adventures right next to the active Arenal Volcano. Join in the heart pumping excitement of rafting the Toro and Sarapiqui River rapids. Try the action of running the rapids in a one man inflatable kayak. Relax on a calm, peaceful paddle of the Peñas Blancas Wildlife Safari Float. Whatever your style, Wave Expeditions has something for you! We have a passion for the whitewater rafting and we want to share that with you.

Our river and outdoor experience is one of the greatest benefits to choosing Wave Expeditions. There is no substitute for an experienced team, especially when it comes to Costa Rican Rafting. We are committed to providing high-quality, memorable, family-oriented white water rafting trips. One of our greatest assets is our outstanding, fun-loving staff of outdoor adventurists – our guides!

You will agree once you join our guides on the river. Our guides are true professionals; they are highly skilled in river navigation, well-versed in local history, and extremely enthusiastic about whitewater river rafting, (most guides you will find on the river even on their days off!) We are dedicated to outfitting our team with staff who have exceptional people skills and positive attitudes and who take pride in running the highest quality river rafting trips in Costa Rica.

Our base camp staff is always happy to help you choose the trip that is right for you. Whether you opt for an family trip on class II-III Balsa or Sarapiqui river rapids, or an action-packed full day trip with class III/IV river rapids on the Toro River, Wave Expeditions has something for you!
