The Copalita River is a great whitewater float run. A custom-made all-terrain vehicle, van or bus will transport you from the pier to the put-in location, passing beautiful bays along the coastal boulevard en route.
First stop will be a Tangolunda viewpoint for photos. You trip will continue to Copalita River where your guide will give a safety briefing and explain proper paddling techniques and commands. Don a lifejacket, grab a paddle and climb onto the raft to begin your river rafting adventure.
The Copalita River is considered Category I-II rapids, so it is a relaxed and enjoyable ride downriver and offers plenty of time to enjoy the spectacular sights and sounds of the river valley, but exciting enough to keep you on your toes. You'll float through the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains, past lush tropical vegetation on the way to Bocana Beach.
Enjoy free time to relax on the beach and explore the area before returning by van to the pier.
Please note: Depending on conditions, participants may be required to walk up to a half-mile on rough terrain or sand from the pull-out point to the vehicle for the transfer back to the port. Bocana Beach may be susituted with Santa Cruz beach. Wear shorts, t-shirt, and sports shoes; bring a set of dry clothes and shoes. Wear your swimsuit under your clothing; bring a towel, reef-safe/biodegradable sunscreen, a cover-up for further protection from the sun, and a hat. Guests who are pregnant or have a back or neck condition are not allowed to participate. Tour operates weather permitting. Minimum age is 12 years. Bottled water and soft drinks are available for purchase.
