Itinerary
Get ready for Rafting La Fortuna, one of Costa Rica's top whitewater adventures near Arenal Volcano.
Your guide transports you to the Balsa River put-in, then leads a safety briefing on paddling technique and commands before launch.
Navigate 10km of Class III rapids and technical drops. Between rapids, enjoy calm stretches with stunning rainforest and Arenal Volcano views.
Your guide steers from the back, ensuring thrills and safety. Get soaked, paddle hard through rapids, and float calm sections spotting herons, iguanas, and tropical birds.
After rafting, you're transported back to the meeting point in Burrito—a top Costa Rica whitewater experience for all skill levels.
