Tour Description

Balsa River White Water River Tubing Costa Rica

Daydreaming of things to do in Costa Rica? Having visions of floating lazily down some river, beer in one hand and a cooler full nestled into a second tube behind you? Well, this is definitely NOT the river tubing trip for you! Huh?

River tubing La Fortuna Costa Rica means lots of paddling and maneuvering. You may even say it is extreme river tubing! So, definitely not the time to be dragging a cooler behind you. Don't you worry, our expert river guides will give you detailed instruction on how to navigate the river safely. Seriously, white water river tubing is one of the most fun things to do in La Fortuna. You'll be so glad you tried something new! Want to document your river tubing trip? You can opt for professional photos or rent your own GoPro for some great action shots!


River tubing Costa Rica is the perfect way to soak up some sun and have a great time doing an activity that's a little more unique than the usual white water rafting options. While Costa Rica river tubing is not exactly for the sedentary couch potato, the Class I/II rapids are a lot more mellow than white water rapids you would encounter on a regular rafting tour! We will float, bounce, spin and rock our way through the Balsa River rapids for 1.5 to 2 hours in total. We'll stop midway for a break and a quick snack of fresh fruit to refresh and recharge.

After working up our appetites bouncing down the Balsa, we will stop at Arenal Vida Campesina for a delicious hot lunch. Vida Capesina is an organic farm that loves to educate its visitors on their sustainable practices. Here you can learn about some of Costa Rica's prized crops such as coffee, sugar cane, and cacao. The gardens are the perfect way to end a day of sun and fun in Arenal.
