Rafting, fun, and adrenaline on the Balsa River. - Our first time in Costa Rica, on a trip with friends. We are 45 years old and it was our first experience of class 3/4 rafting. We enjoyed it a lot. We had fun. We jumped into the river in the areas where it was allowed. Ronald, our guide, was excellent. He guided us well and also kept informing us and showing us the flora and fauna. We saw a sloth just inches away, toucans, and monkeys. Highly recommended!

Incredible and exceptional; if you visit Costa Rica, do not hesitate to do it. - Our guide Romi was incredible; she knows the river well and how to act in any emergency. Thank you for this experience and for guiding us; it was one of the most incredible experiences for my first time. Without a doubt, they are the best. 100/10 for Costa Rica Descent and their team.

Rapid after Rapid after Rapid! - Super adventurous, lots of big drops and waves. All of my previous rafting experience was a rapid, then floating down the river for 20 minutes until the next rapid. NOT THIS TRIP! It is Rapid after Rapid after Rapid. It was very wild and everyone gets drenched. We chose to ride the tubes for the second half of the river and that was even more challenging! We had a great guide, Warren, or Warner, I wasn't paying much attention to the briefing, but he did a great job! In the middle is a quick snack of fresh fruit.
