Get your thrills with a white-water rafting experience along the Bala River –considered one of Costa Rica's best routes. Led by an expert guide, you'll wind your way through deep valleys and down heart-stopping drops. And on the more sedate stretches, you can sit back and spot swinging monkeys and rainbow-coloured parrots in the rainforest.
The Bala River is a top-rated whitewater rafting route. And there's a reason why – it has category 2 and 3 rapids, set against a lush tropical backdrop. Hop in your comfortable raft and fully-qualified instructors will have you gliding through the water in no time.
You'll take on the fast-flowing rapids as you zoom downstream – around every corner, there could be another thrilling drop. Along the way, keep an eye out for wildlife such as iguanas, monkeys and tropical birds, before taking a break on the banks for a taste of tropical fruit. Then, after more on-water action, dry off for lunch and a tour and tasting session at a sugarcane plantation.
