Overview
Two epic adventures in one unforgettable day!
Get ready for the ultimate adrenaline experience in La Fortuna — a thrilling combination of canyoning and white-water rafting in the heart of the Arenal Volcano region. This full-day tour is perfect for adventure lovers looking to explore Costa Rica’s wilder side through waterfalls, rainforest, and rivers.
Your morning begins on a local farm, where your professional guides provide a warm welcome and a detailed safety briefing. Gear up with your harness, helmet, and gloves, then take a short hike into the lush jungle to reach a hidden tropical canyon — your playground for the day.
Start with a practice rappel before diving into the action: four exhilarating waterfall descents ranging from 49 to 131 feet (15–40 meters). Feel the rush of adrenaline as you rappel down waterfalls, scramble over rocky walls, and splash into crystal-clear natural pools surrounded by pure rainforest.
After your canyoning adventure, switch gears for the Rio Balsa white-water rafting experience — one of Costa Rica’s best rivers for Class II–III rapids. The first section brings 45 minutes of non-stop excitement, followed by calmer waters where you can float, swim, and spot local wildlife like sloths, toucans, and iguanas. Along the way, enjoy a refreshing riverside fruit break prepared by your guides.
Wrap up this unforgettable day with a traditional Costa Rican lunch at a local restaurant — the perfect way to celebrate your adventure.
