Be sure to drop in and see the team at BOA as they are more than willing to share their wealth of information regarding the surrounding areas.
The tour picks you up at your hostel early morning and visits Rio Chiriqui Vejo, one of the 35 runs the Chiriqui provence has to offer. Depending on the water level and season, BOA may select a different river for the tour. The tour takes you down a variety of rapids ranging from Class I to IV, with Class IV being the highest.
Prior to entering the water you'll be fitted out with all the necessary safety gear and given a rundown on skills and instruction, you also get a chance to practice these in the water before you´re on your way. There is always a safety boat on the tour to assure the safe passage of everyone participating. Once your done, a tasty lunch is served riverside before heading back to your hostel.
All up, this full day trip costs $90 per person with a minimum of 3 people and maximum of 12 (BOA like to focus on small groups). The tour also includes a walk up to the hot springs before lunch which splits up your time on the water.
