White Water Rafting Class II and III
Description
White Water Rafting Class II & III!! A fun combination of whitewater thrills and areas where the water is docile enough to jump in and go for a swim. This is perfect for a family adventure and for beginners. Wildlife abound in this section of the Balsa 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 awesome and safe guides that could make a puddle of mud fun. As with every trip, there will be one stop for locally grown, organic fruits and another stop for an authentic Costa Rican lunch, you’ll also learn about the growing, harvesting, production of chocolate, medical plants, fruits and sugar cane.

As a family of 4 with older teens we thoroughly enjoyed the rafting. It was just the right amount of thrill versus fun and our guide's enthusiasm was infectious. We spent 1.5 hours on the water. We enjoyed freshly prepared fruit once we "landed" and then a lunch back at the tour office location followed by a short tour of their large garden /crops and some animals. Only reason for 4 stars was we spent an hour driving to multiple pick up locations waiting for people to board etc, before leaving La Fortuna, meaning the journey out took over 2 hours. Overall I'd recommend
The trip was really well organised. We went by bus to the river, about an hour long, stopping enroute for bathroom and souvenir shop. All of the guides were great fun. Really experienced river guides so we felt very safe. It was a fantastic activity! We returned to the base after rafting and had a delicious lunch and tour of the farm. We all thoroughly enjoyed our adventure with Descents!
We had an amazing experience with Albus. Loved the rapids and lunch was exceptional.
I loved the experience, Ronald our guide was very attentive, and he explained the reviews of the towns, animals, plants, birds, and everything necessary to better understand Fortuna. We are very happy and grateful. I would recommend it a thousand times.
We had an amazing time white water rafting! The scenery was beautiful, the rapids were exciting, and the whole experience was well organized from start to finish. Our guide, Kevin, was absolutely awesome. He was knowledgeable, funny, and made us feel safe and confident the entire trip. His instructions were clear, and he kept the group entertained while making sure everyone had a great time. Kevin truly made the experience unforgettable. We would definitely come back and highly recommend this rafting company.
Warner was my guide for this booking. Very knowledgeable and attentive. The guy had us rowing like Olympians after just a few instructions lol. I had lots of fun, none of us fell out the raft and we had 2 kids onboard. I didn't feel unsafe at all. We also spotted a good amount of wildlife during the calmer spots in the river, iguanas, sloths, and birds. This was the best part of my 5 day trip for sure!
Excellent experience, 100% recommended, everything was very well taken care of, Earner was a very professional guide, I highly recommend him!!
Fun trip, water was pretty big from the mornings dam release up river. Saw various animals during the rafting, took a couple of dips in the river
Ronald was a fun and energetic guide who really made our white water rafting trip extremely fun. He showed us water birds and even a few sloths along the way. I’d definitely ask for him if you go.
Our family of five had an incredible white water rafting adventure, and a huge part of that was our guide, Warner. From the moment we started, he was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable. The true test came with our youngest daughter (9 years old), who was very nervous and scared before we got on the river. Warner was absolutely fantastic with her. Within just a couple of minutes, he had her smiling, laughing, and enjoying the experience. By the end of the trip, she was asking when we could go rafting again! Warner struck the perfect balance between safety, instruction, fun, and excitement. He made the experience enjoyable for both the adults and the kids, and we always felt like we were in great hands. If you're considering a rafting trip, we highly recommend it—and if you have the chance to request Warner as your guide, do it. He made an already great adventure truly memorable for our family.
