Overview
The Canyoning and White-Water Rafting Combo is one of the most exciting full-day adventures in La Fortuna. This action-packed experience blends waterfall rappelling, canyon exploration, and fun Class II–III rafting into a single unforgettable day. It’s perfect for travelers seeking intense adventure, nature immersion, and a deep connection with the Arenal region.
Canyoning in a Tropical Rainforest Canyon
Your day begins on a scenic Costa Rican farm where professional guides greet you with a warm welcome. After a clear safety briefing, you gear up with harness, helmet, and gloves. A short jungle walk leads you into a pristine canyon hidden in dense rainforest.
You start by practicing your first rappel to build confidence before facing the larger descents. Soon after, you take on four waterfall rappels, ranging from 49 to 131 feet. During each descent, you feel pure adrenaline as you move down volcanic rock walls and splash into natural pools. The rainforest surrounds you with vivid greenery, fresh water, and wild beauty. This section captures the raw, untouched side of Costa Rica.
Class II–III White-Water Rafting on the Balsa River
After canyoning, you continue to the Balsa River for the second half of your journey. The first section delivers about 45 minutes of continuous Class II–III rapids, offering steady excitement for beginners and adventure lovers. As the river widens, the pace slows, giving you time to spot sloths, toucans, iguanas, and kingfishers along the shore.
Your guides prepare a fresh riverside fruit snack, a refreshing break before finishing the rafting route. The activity combines fun splashes with calm floating sections where you can swim and enjoy the scenery.
To close the day, you stop at a local restaurant for a traditional Costa Rican lunch, giving you time to relax and celebrate your adventure with the group.
The Canyoning and White-Water Rafting Combo delivers intense fun, lush rainforest views, and two iconic experiences in one day. It’s one of the best ways to enjoy the natural beauty and adventure spirit of La Fortuna.
