Balsa River White Water Rafting in La Fortuna & Costa Rican Lunch
Description
This Balsa River rafting experience combines adventure, nature, and local hospitality in one unforgettable tour. Unlike more intense rafting trips designed only for experienced paddlers, this experience is ideal for beginners, families, and travelers who want real excitement without feeling overwhelmed. The Balsa River offers the perfect balance of fun Class II and III rapids and peaceful stretches where travelers can enjoy the scenery, swim, and look for wildlife such as sloths, monkeys, iguanas, and tropical birds. In addition to rafting, guests enjoy fresh tropical fruit by the river, professional bilingual guides, round-trip transportation from La Fortuna, and a traditional Costa Rican lunch. It is more than a rafting trip it is a complete Arenal adventure.

AMAZING! This company is right in downtown La Fortuna and very well organized! The guides love their job (we had Axel who was fantastic!) and really have fun with everyone. We saw the most wildlife on this adventure. My 10yr & 13yr old enjoyed the 2/3 level. Food/adventure/company: 10/10!
We did classes 2 &3 and we had an awesome experience. It was very fun and we would recommend for family who wants to have a thrilling experience. The tour guides - Kervin, Arganiz and Eric(pardon if I didn’t have the spelling right)- were extremely helpful, informative and made sure it was safe. they showed animals along the way. Thanks for making the experience memorable.
Amazing experience. Everything was well explained and seamless. I felt safe all the time. Thank you so much, I will recommand it to everyone!
We did all their tours, they took such good care of us. Made sure we got the best deal on all of our of the tours we took. Very fast response. Been here multiple times, I would recommend them to anyone who is in town visiting and looking for the best bang for your buck.
