Rafting on the Beautiful Río Balsa

The best class 2 -3 rafting closest to the Arenal Volcano! Challenge yourself as you paddle through fun & safe rolling rapids with names like “Morning Coffee” & “Rock around the Croc” and then play around in tranquil river pools in an isolated rainforest river canyon! You will arrive at our private entrance where your professional, experienced bilingual guides will give you a safety talk and paddling instructions. You’ll be fitted with your lifejackets, helmets & then you’re off for a two-hour journey of over 30 continuous roller- coaster rapids on our special “Mono Loco” section.
