The best adventure to enjoy in Costa Rica is whitewater rafting and here in Arenal we have the best option for you!

Rapids on Balsa river are categorized as class II - III which makes it ideal for a fun time on the river, at some points you will just sit and relax while admiring the beautiful scenery of the rainforest and luckily see some beautiful animals too, at some other areas you will follow your guides lead and paddle as requested to go through the rapids successfully.

Before starting the tour, the right equipment will be provided and checked on you, make sure you pay extra attention to the guide’s instructions and get ready for a quick practice paddling on the river before getting started with this amazing experience.

It will take approximately 2 hours to complete once at the river and you can also replenish with some fruit snacks in the middle of the tour, get off the raft, do some swimming and flavour fantastic tropical fruits. Later will get back to the rafts and will continue paddling until the end, a short drive afterwards and you will change your clothes and enjoy an amazing private lunch.
