One of the best activities of Costa Rica - Jean carlos was an amazing guide. He allowed our teenagers to jump out of the boat multiple times. It was fun, exciting, and such a memorable experience. We would definitely do it again. If you go, try and ask for jean carlos.

An unforgettable day and a must do! - We've done the White Water Rafting on Balsa River which was a great experience! All guides were extremely friendly and we felt safe all the time with our guide Warner in the boat. After the tour we had a tasty lunch and were shown around at the little farm.One should know that it can take around 1.5hrs to get to the rafting place.But the long drive is definitely worth it. To be recommended!!

Fun and Safety are the priorities! - Had an amazing experience. Started off with Giancarlo, He stopped on the way to the Rio Balsa so my kids could see a sloth up in the tree. Had so much detailed information about the area as well. Davita was the captain of our raft and made sure my kids were safe, but also had fun! When the river got a little quieter, we were able to get in inner tubes and got pulled behind the raft. But you have to ask for this in advance, so they bring the inner tubes. Which was so relaxing and enjoyable..Great time!! Awesome guides, awesome driver, awesome lunch. Amazing time! I see why Descent is number one on TripAdvisor! Thanks for the memories!
