A fun combination of whitewater thrills and areas where the water is calm enough to jump in and go for a swim. This is perfect for a family adventure and for beginners. Wildlife abounds in this section of the Balsa River so keep an eye out for sloths, iguanas, howler monkeys, and a vast array of tropical birds. However, this trip is not all about relaxation. The rolling, tumbling class 2-3 rapids will be enough to bring laughter and excitement to the whole family.
The trip will be guided by our professional and safe guides that could make a mud puddle fun. Upon arrival at the river, we will gear you up with a life jacket, helmet, and paddle and then brief you with a full safety orientation talk. Then it will be time to take off down the rapids.
As with every trip, there will be one stop for locally grown, organic fruits and another stop for an authentic Costa Rican Organic lunch. You’ll also learn about the growing, harvesting, and production of chocolate, medicinal plants, fruits, and sugar cane.
Finally, as you learn about sugar cane in Costa Rica your guide will help you extract juice from the cane in a traditional fashion, and you’ll get to enjoy a glass of pure sugar cane juice. A sweet ending to a sweet tour!
Lots of excitement, a very fun and safe tour, ideal for both beginners and experienced riders.
