Talk To Freddy

Two rivers near Arenal Volcano, one great day on the water.

Choose the Balsa River for a splashy, family friendly ride with Class II and III rapids, or the Sarapiquí River for more than 30 continuous Class III and IV rapids through the rainforest.

After the river, we sit down to a Costa Rican lunch, with options for vegetarians, kids and special diets.

Along the riverbanks you may spot sloths, iguanas, toucans and monkeys.
