Awesome Fun Rafting Class 3 Balsa River 5-Hour Tour in La Fortuna
Description
The Balsa River is dam-controlled and is renowned for its relatively continuous Class 2 and 3 rapids, providing an exciting yet safe adventure for all skill levels. Most rapids are found in the first hour of the trip. These rapids offer excitement and safety, ensuring a memorable journey for beginners and experienced rafters. As you travel down the river, you'll be surrounded by the captivating beauty of Costa Rica's lush rainforests, pristine waterfalls, and a rich tapestry of exotic flora. You'll want to keep your eyes peeled for the abundance of wildlife that calls this area home. Bird enthusiasts will delight in the toucans, kingfishers, and herons as they dart and soar along the riverbanks. Howler monkeys might greet you with their distinctive calls from the treetops, and you might even be lucky enough to spot the elusive, slow-moving sloth hanging lazily from the branches overhead.

very nice experience, the guides are awesome
A very nice experience. The guides are very professional. 100% recommendable. Landscape, fauna, nature… Top
Brilliant day. Very professional organisation from pickup to drop-off. Great guides kept us safe and made it fun and interesting, pointing out the wildlife along the river. Enjoyed the fruit break and lunch on the way back.
Very good experience! Of the best
We had a great rafting adventure with Mario and Pablo. Nicely picked up on time, safe ride to the river, great raft ride, eye for nature and safety, speak good English, nice fruit stop along the river and ended with a great Costa Rican lunch at Rancho El Fogon de Chela. We would recommend this trip to anyone. Even if you have already passed 50 just like us 😜
We had such a great experience! The river was beautiful and Christian, our river guide, made sure to stop and point out wildlife along the way. The rapids were easy enough that my 9 year old could handle it. The private feel of the tour made such a big difference compared to the larger companies that had dozens of people with them. The traditional Costa Rican lunch afterwards was the perfect ending.
Awesome trip with amazing & knowledgeable guides. Food was fantastic
