Look no further if you are seeking adventure! The rappelling and rafting combo is an awesome full day of thrills and spills! Imagine rappelling down rainforest waterfalls and then wrapping up the day whitewater rafting on one of the most popular rivers in Costa Rica…

The day starts off when you are picked up from your local Arenal Volcano area hotel. You will be brought to the base of a hill on the other side of town. This is where the adventure begins. You will switch vehicles and ride a 4x4 thirty minutes up until you reach the base camp rancho.

Your guide will size you up and suit you up with high quality safety gear and then provide a brief safety and instructional course. Then you will be on your way to rappelling down four rappels of varying height from 45 to 165 feet! No experience is necessary. You will always have the comfort of a secondary safety line that the guide will control. Between each rappel you will scramble through the canyon which is surrounded by lush rainforest that is teaming with life. This is an epic adventure that is usually the highlight of the trip!

After the rappelling tour you will be whisked away to meet the whitewater rafting crew en route to the Rio Balsa. When you arrive at the river your guide will provide safety gear and another instructional safety course. Then you will be on your way down one of the most popular whitewater rivers in the country. The Rio Balsa offers a continuous adventure of class II and III rapids which your guide will navigate you through on a wet and wild adventure!

When the adventure is over you will be treated to a hearty Costa Rican style lunch. Then you will be returned to your hotel. Including transfers this tour usually lasts 8 – 9 hours, though this is subject to change. Please inform us if you weigh over 200 pounds as restrictions may apply or special accommodations may be necessary.

Definitely one of the highlights of our trip! We wished the rappelling was a little longer. Lunch was good!

By far, the best tour for me. Weather worked out perfectly for us as we had a nice sunny day. Tour picked us up on time, and quickly took us to the Rappelling site. Guides were informative, and very safety conscious- we felt very secure in doing the activity. First time rappelling, so was a lot of fun. Afterwards, we were given a snack, as we had booked a rafting tour next. 1 hr drive to the rafting site, where we were had Jude (Congo) as our river guide- he is very knowledgeable and made the experience more enjoyable. Amazing views of the forest, and river. Would definitely recommend this tour

Would have like the experience to have been more exciting but understandably safety is a priority
