While tropical rain forest waters may have some dissolved ions, minerals and nutrients (which are what constitutes salinity) the levels of these chemicals usually are not high enough for the water to be considered "salt water" as in the concentrations found in the ocean. However they may also have harmful bacteria, just like any water found in nature.

The water has the salt mixed in and eventually that water becomes part of the ocean.
