Arenal White Water Rafting La Fortuna Costa Rica
The Arenal volcano region of Costa Rica is a place that begs to be explored. An Arenal white water rafting tour is not only a great adventurous way of doing this, but also the most FUN!!! The spectacular scenic rivers surrounding the Arenal region are some of the most spectacular in all of Costa Rica. White water rafting La Fortuna attracts thousands of river runners each year who come in search of both adventure and relaxation. Really, can you think of a better day than challenging yourself on some of the most popular white water rapids in Costa Rica then soaking off the day in Arenal hot springs? Nope, we did not think so either.
You don't have to be an extremist to enjoy white water rafting in Costa Rica. There is a river for each skill type featuring several classes of rapids ranging from 1 to 5. The 3 main rivers that offer white water rafting in La Fortuna include the Balsa River, Sarapiqui River and the most famous and scenic of all, the Pacuare River. Each river offers a different style of white water rafting. Adrenaline junkies will love those that plunge and swoop you through world class III and IV rapids. Those less adventurous will enjoy the lazy river floats that carry them on a leisurely stroll down the river at a pace that is excellent for watching birds & wildlife.
White Water River Tubing Costa Rica
La Fortuna is one of the best places in Costa Rica to try white water river tubing. Though river tubing usually takes place in class I/II rapids, they can feel equally as challenging as rafting class III rapids when trying to navigate the rapids on your own tube. Our advice for first-timers white water river tubing? Just relax and go with the flow. We offer both a bit more challenging white water river tubing adventure on the Balsa River, as well as a more family friendly river float at the Club Rio at The Springs Resort Arenal. If you can't decide on rafting or tubing, you can try them both out in one day and decide which you like best.
