Half day
Experience the excitement and adrenaline of white water rafting on this half day adventure on the Balsa San Carlos River with rapids graded 2/3. The Río Balsa is dam-controlled, so good water levels are usually available. Rio Balsa is approximately 30 minutes from downtown La Fortuna so you’ll spend more time on the river than in the car! Your guide will explain the safety procedures and safety equipment before embarking down the river. Enjoy up to 2 exhilarating hours of white water action on this beautiful tropical river. Once at the San Carlos Bridge you end your journey, enjoying a swim, some fresh tropical fruits and a cold Costa Rican style “Michelada”. The Rio Balsa is ideal for those first-time rafters as it is gentle enough for those inexperienced rafters but enough of a challenge to make it exciting.
What to bring on the trip: Dry clothes (shorts & t-shirt are best), Bathing suit, Sports sandals/water shoes, & sunscreen
