Balsa River White Water Rafting

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. The Desafio guides are very accommodating to those first-time rafters, quickly earning the trust of their clients. As a result of their knowledge and care, first timers soon grow brave enough to enjoy a unique adventure! You'll enjoy the challenge as you paddle yourself 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. Hopefully, you'll get to see lots of wildlife like monkeys, sloths and tropical birds such as ospreys and toucans. This unique river trip is the best way to combine adventure and nature. The Río Balsa is dam-controlled, so good water levels are usually available.
Rio Balsa is only 30 minutes or so from downtown La Fortuna, which makes it a convenient location, and you'll spend more time on the river than in the car! The white water rafting trips offer door-to-door service for most hotels in the Arenal and La Fortuna areas.
At the launch site, the guides give a detailed explanation of safety procedures. Rafting is an adventure sport, so everyone receives a helmet and life vest. The guides slowly and clearly explain all rules and fundamentals. Right from the outset, the river is beautiful, with very few farms that come to the river's edge, and you find yourself paddling through scenic stretches of rainforest.. Depending on the level of the water-flow that day, the depth of the river will vary from shallow and rocky to fairly deep. Paddling can be practiced through the initial rapids before you get to the 'morning coffee', the first of the class III rapids. The guides give you specific instructions on each rapid, for example 'stay to the right on this one' or 'avoid the big boulder at all costs' or even 'watch out for crocodiles on this one' (just kidding). If you are lucky you might see monkeys, sloths, birds and butterflies.
At the end of the two-hour ride you arrive at a small restaurant, owned by Desafio Adventure Company. Guests are invited to a complimentary lunch of fresh fruit and 'typical Costa Rican' food with plenty of vegetarian options.. Here there are bathrooms and changing rooms, so bring a change of clothes to leave in the van, which will meet the group at the restaurant.
