Restrictions: River rafting in Costa Rica is a fun yet challenging activity. You must be in good physical condition to participate. The class II/III rapids of the Balsa River are considered mild to moderate to navigate, so a great option for the whole family. For more information on the classes of rivers, see our blog. You will be asked to sign a waiver that you have no underlying conditions such as previous heart, back or neck conditions that could make river rafting in Costa Rica not a safe choice of activities for you.
Insider Tip: Did you know Cacao (chocolate in its raw form) grows very happily in the rainforest? It is no wonder there is a very healthy chocolate plantation in La Fortuna. Best of all, they blend natural ingredients locally sourced into the cacao to make some of the best chocolates you will ever try. Costa Rica chocolates are also a great souvenir to take home. And the best part, you do not need to feel guilty after gorging out on chocolate. You will get your workout after as you paddle down the class II & III rapids of the Balsa River.
** PLEASE NOTE: Due to the strictly enforced sales tax law that has been introduced in Costa Rica, sales tax may be added to the final payment made to the operator. Sales tax is already included in the deposit amount.
