What You Can Expect

Become a jungle explorer for the day on this 6-hour rafting tour through Costa Rica?s rainforest. Your?guide will pick you up at your La Fortuna hotel for the approximately 60-minute drive to the winding Rio?Balsa. You?ll receive a short safety training at the launch site and gear up with a paddle, life vest, and?helmet. If it?s your first time rafting, not to worry ? your guide will demonstrate paddling techniques?and share basic rafting tips. No need to bring a camera and risk getting it wet, as a photographer will?accompany you on the trip, and you?ll have the option to purchase photos at the end of the tour. Next, set out on the river and begin your 6-mile (10-km) descent through the rapids. Water levels vary?depending on rainfall, so the river may be shallow or deep. The first half of the ride is the most?challenging. Prepare to get wet as your guide helps you navigate Class III rapids like the Congo Loco and?Rock around the Croc (don?t panic, as no crocodiles are actually found here). Take a break after successfully clearing these rapids with a riverbank pit stop and a snack of fresh fruit.?Relax in the shade of towering trees or enjoy a refreshing swim in the river. Hop back in your raft for the?continued journey down more mellow, Class II rapids. Soak up the passing tropical scenery and keep an?eye out for native rainforest residents including monkeys, sloths, butterflies, and colorful birds. At the end of your rafting journey, step back onto solid ground and enjoy a traditional lunch at a local?restaurant. You can shower and change into dry clothes before the return drive to La Fortuna, where?you?ll be dropped off at your hotel.
