+17 photos
Looking for the best Family Rafting in [Arenal Costa Rica](https://www.facebook.com/waveexp) that offers excitement, but milder white-water rapids?
The half-day adventure on the Rio Balsa provides plenty of action and thrills, but with Class II-III rapids, children ages 8-12 can come along on this family adventure Rafting in Arenal Volcano.
Your river guide will pick you up at your hotel and join you on the 30-minute drive to the “put-in” spot where the fun begins! You will get a thorough briefing and explanation of the safety equipment and procedures.
Once everyone has had time to practice and review the commands and “high-fives” you will embark on your journey down the rapids. Get wet and wild on this family-friendly rafting trip as you navigate rapids such as “Magnetic Rock” and “Dredges” on your 2-hour adventure tour down the beautiful and tropical Balsa River.
Drink in the majestic foliage of the rainforest as you watch for monkeys, sloths, and toucans while you raft. Enjoy a swim, tropical fruits, and cold drinks during your break from the action. At the end of the tour, your lunch spot is a tour on its own. A delicious, typical lunch is served at a traditional country estate designed for guests to truly experience.
You will come to understand the meaning of Costa Rica’s favorite saying, [“**Pura Vida!**](https://www.waveexpeditions.com/?page_id=580)” and the best White Water Rafting Class II and III from Arenal available.
