Take hold of adventure with this rappelling/white water rafting tour! Rappel down the canyons before paddling down fun Class II-III rapids, all under the watchful eyes of your guides/instructors. Pick-up/drop-off, lunch and refreshments are included; professional photography will be available for purchase separately if you choose.This fun-filled Class II-III white water river rafting tour and canyoning combo tour begins with pickup at your La Fortuna hotel (please note: there will be an additional charge for hotels outside the immediate La Fortuna area). The bus may stop at other hotels to pick up participants. Shoes that stay on your feet are a must; you will be rappelling down a canyon and rafting down a river so please make sure they're appropriate. Sorry, no flip-flops allowed! Also make sure to pack a backpack with change of clothing and toiletry articles.
You will start your day with a 30 minute trek in a 4x4 to the outskirts of town. Your guides will instruct you on the ins and outs of using equipment to control your speed as you rappel down the rainforest canyons with the assistance of well-trained canyoning guides. Once you arrive you will descend down the first waterfall into the spectacular canyon below, climb the side of the canyon wall, zip-line across the canyon and rappel down to the canyon floor. You will experience the thrill of rainforest canyons and cascading waterfalls in a way you never imagined with the majestic Arenal Volcano as your backdrop.
At the end of the tour, you will take a short hike back up from the canyon where your guides will provide a delicious tropical fruit snack before you begin your next adventure. Jump back in the 4x4 vehicle waiting to take you to the Balsa River where the day’s excitement is kept alive with an action-packed ride down the Class II-III rapids of the Rio Balsa. Once you arrive at the rafting "put-in" spot on the banks of the Rio Balsa, your guides and safety kayakers will instruct you on how to paddle, the basic moves, commands and safety procedures you will need to know before you embark on a wet and exciting ride. As you raft down the beautiful Balsa River, drink in the majestic foliage of the rain forest as you watch for monkeys, sloths and toucans while you raft. Enjoy a swim, tropical fruits and cold drinks during your break from the action.
After loading the gear on the bus, you will leave for your lunch spot, which is a tour on its own. A delicious, typical lunch is served at a traditional country estate designed for guests to truly experience Costa Rica’s peaceful country life. You will come to understand the meaning of Costa Rica’s favorite saying, “Pura Vida!”
After you finish lunch, you will ride back toward the town of Fortuna. You will have plenty to talk about tonight as you recount your thrilling experiences from this day that is sure to be the highlight of your vacation in Costa Rica.
Don't worry about taking a camera with you on the river or through the canyons, because there are professional photos (not included) available for purchase from both the rafting and rappelling tours.
The bus will drop you back off at your La Fortuna hotel between 4 and 4:30 pm.
