Balthazar River ‘aint named Grenada’s Great River for notting’ as they say locally! Fed from sources located deep in the island’s interior, this river is nestled amongst the exotic tropical rainforest flora and fauna. Departing from the quayside we shall have an approximate 45-minute journey from St George’s, through the scenic hilly interior of the Grand Etang rainforest reserve and onto the Balthazar Estate and our launch site. Upon arrival we shall be given a short safety briefing, our life vest, our modified inner tube and helmet before getting into the river. Wet, wild and wonderful from the word go, our guides will accompany us on our journey, as we spin and swirl in the currents of the river. We shall enjoy our thrilling ride down river, stopping only in the pools along the way to catch our breath – at the last pool we shall have an opportunity to swim before we enjoy a much deserved rum punch or local fruit juice.
