The Balsa River is dam-controlled and is renowned for its relatively continuous Class 2 and 3 rapids, providing an exciting yet safe adventure for all skill levels. Most rapids are found in the first hour of the trip. These rapids offer excitement and safety, ensuring a memorable journey for beginners and experienced rafters. As you travel down the river, you'll be surrounded by the captivating beauty of Costa Rica's lush rainforests, pristine waterfalls, and a rich tapestry of exotic flora. You'll want to keep your eyes peeled for the abundance of wildlife that calls this area home. Bird enthusiasts will delight in the toucans, kingfishers, and herons as they dart and soar along the riverbanks. Howler monkeys might greet you with their distinctive calls from the treetops, and you might even be lucky enough to spot the elusive, slow-moving sloth hanging lazily from the branches overhead.

Adrenaline... fun and new experience throughout the tour. Moises is an excellent guide, professional and attentive to provide the best experience. They have all the equipment and safety protocols. You can see sloth bears along the way... We ate well and were totally satisfied. Much more to describe...

Thanks to Esteban, Dionis and the rest of the wonderful crew. We had the most memorable experience rafting with our family and friends. The crew went out of their way to make it fun, enjoyable and safe experience for us. Kids were literally shouting that it was the best trip they’ve ever done.

This is a new company and we had a really personal experience rather than booking with one of the bigger companies we had the raft to ourselves
This was our first time rafting and we felt safe and reassured but also had lots of

The snacks provided were a nice touch and the lunch was amazing - very authentic Costa Rican food

It was me and my wife’s 31 year anniversary. This was my wife’s first time rafting and the staff was amazing making our experience an amazing one. Alonso in charge of the boat gave clear instructions and educated us about Costa Rica, its rich history, and nature. Dioniz scouted the river ahead to ensure we had a safe ride and helped with taking professional grade picture so we had amazing memories. Estevan was our driver and all together made an amazing team. We are making Costa Rica our yearly vacation and we are definitely booking a rafting activity with them when we return. Thank you all for your hard work.

Excellent!! We were picked up by Alonso (bus tour guide) and Dionis (driver) at our hotel. During the drive to the river we were told about facts of Costa Rica and the safety measures of rafting. Then at the river we had Esteban as our rafting leader. He also gave us safety instructions and a lot of nature details. We rafted down the river with ease, fun and few challenges. We also floated a while down the river, had fruit and chips for snack and finished with Costarican lunch ! Recommend it!!

What a fantastic company! Highly recommended! Lovely staff highlight the experience, starting with charming and interesting conversation in the transport van, detailed and thorough safety instructions, and skilled safety paddler, guide, and photographer (the one experience where we found the photos to be well worth the price…best pictures of our holiday). Throughout the day the staff shared stories of their extensive experiences guiding rafts down rivers around the world, as well of stories about growing up and living in Costa Rica. Loved these personal touches! We were guided down the Balsa River with skill and safety. We enjoyed a huge, fresh snack part of the way down the river and then one of our best meals in CR at the pull out. Such a positive, fun experience for my entire family and a highlight of our trip to Costa Rica.

Wonderful town rafting the Balsa with the Rafting Costa Rica crew. They specialize in small groups and give great personal service… the people going with the large group operators were jealous of us! Lunch afterword was very good and right at the take out. No long bus rides like the others.

The best things so far on our trip!! The guide Marcos was the best and the most friendly guy we have been meeting on the trip.
He learn us so much about Costa Rica and was so nice to us. We got some fruits, drinks and good food!
And we had a photographer with us the hole tour that’s was so nice, and a “safe” guy that’s took so good care of us.
We 4 girls from Sweden give the hole company 6/5 stars. PURA VIDA!
