Restrictions: River rafting in Costa Rica is a fun yet challenging activity. The canopy tour is less physically challenging, however you must be in good physical condition to participate in either activity. The class II/III rapids of the Balsa River are considered mild to moderate to navigate, so a great option for the whole family. For more information on the classes of rivers, see our blog. You will be asked to sign a waiver that you have no underlying conditions such as previous heart, back or neck conditions that could make river rafting in Costa Rica not a safe choice of activities for you.
Insider Tip: Seriously, if you had to pick 2 activities that pretty much sum up the most famous activities in Costa Rica, rafting and canopy tours are it. This is a great way to get both in if you are short on time, not to mention saving money. If you have a few days in Arenal or are visiting one of the other destinations that have amazing zip lines such as Monteverde or Manuel Antonio, you may want to do both activities separately so you can spend more time at each one.
