Balsa River Whitewater Rafting: Class II - III








Experience the thrill of whitewater rafting on the breathtaking Balsa River, a perfect blend of adventure and nature. From the moment we pick you up at your accommodation in La Fortuna, your journey into an exhilarating world begins. Just 45 minutes away, you will arrive at our Private Operations Center, a secure and comfortable space equipped with restrooms and changing rooms, where you can prepare for your adventure.
Guided by certified experts, you will navigate through 10 kilometers of Class II and III rapids, ideal for both first-time rafters and those seeking an active outdoor experience. The difficulty level strikes a balance between excitement and safety, ensuring an engaging yet manageable adventure. Here, it's not about conquering the river but rather moving with it, understanding its rhythm, and savoring each moment.
As you descend, the lush rainforest envelops you. Colorful birds soar overhead, monkeys peek from the trees, and you might even spot a sloth or a toucan nestled among the branches. The scenery shifts with every turn, keeping you present, attentive, and connected to the stunning landscape.
At the end of your thrilling journey, a well-deserved lunch awaits you at Hunters & Gatherers restaurant, located by the riverside.
