White Water Rafting (Class III) -Arenal Area

You will have an expert guide as your captain who will control the direction of the boat and give the team the necessary paddling commands in order to follow the best river currents. Be prepared to ride the waves that will break in front of the boat slashing everyone inside. There will be an additional guide in a kayak ahead of the raft inspecting each rapid and informing the raft guide of any changes in the river’s route. He will also be ready to help rescue any swimmers.

After riding the waves for a while, we will stop for to swim, cliff-jump, and enjoy some fresh tropical fruit along the riverbank. As we descend the river the waves will decrease in intensity which will then allow us time to observe and enjoy some of the wildlife that inhabits the area. Be on the lookout for aquatic birds, sloths, monkeys, toucans, and tropical frogs. After our rafting adventure, we will stop at our restaurant, “La Finquita” to enjoy a delicious Costa Rican lunch.

The northern zone of Costa Rica is blessed with the most beautiful landscapes and incredible rivers for rafting.

With an excellent level of water throughout the year, Balsa River will allow you to enjoy the best rafting experience if you're novice. If you are an expert you will enjoy it the most, thanks to its beautiful surroundings, challenging rapids and good waves that may request you a good maneuver from time to time.

Best of all: just 30 minutes from your hotel in La Fortuna.
