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.

I don’t normally write reviews, but this team deserves to be recognized. Jail in was the man! Kept the entire group entertained on the bus ride to the river, helped our family have an unforgettable time on the water, and continued to show that leadership of customer service and satisfaction afterwards with the lunch and farm tour. Our family all agreed, this was the best day of our Costa Rica trip. We even got the bonus of an up close look at a sloth. 9 and 6 year olds absolutely loved everything about this day. Thank you!

We’re especially happy to hear that your 9- and 6-year-olds enjoyed the experience so much. And getting a close-up look at a sloth was certainly a fantastic bonus!
