Balthazar River ain't named Grenada’s Great River for nothing, as they say locally in Grenada. Fed from sources located deep in the island’s interior, this river is nestled between an exotic tropical rainforest. This adventure is nothing less than “a thrill of a lifetime!” Wet, wild and wonderful from the word GO, jump in the water and get ready for a journey alongside trained guides, as you spin and swirl in the currents of the river and soak up the exotic scenery of tropical vegetation and wildlife. Navigate the rushing rapids of the river as you're introduced to a seldom-seen Grenadian attraction. Along the way, be on the lookout for some of the many exotic, indigenous species that make their home in this lush tropical habitat. It's a thrilling ride down the river, stopping only in the pools along the way, to catch your breath. Enjoy a much deserved rum punch or a glass of local fruit juice after an action-packed day full of twists and turns, swimming in natural pools

Fantastic tube adventure

5.00Great fun. You arrive and get a life jacket and helmet. Pick up your tube and head down to the water. What an adventure. You go over multiple rapids. Takes about 1hr. Definitely not good for anyone with back or knee issues. You are bounced around a lot and get stuck on rocks. Would definitely do again.
Fantastic fun!

5.00This was such tremendous fun! I’m 66 but felt just like a kid again. The trip was well organised with good instruction given before the tubes were put into the river; the team worked hard to make sure everyone had a great time. Give it a go!
The best experience!

5.00Fantastic experience! We were four, of whom two were a tad nervous, due to their lack of confidence in deep water. We needn’t have worried as the river is mainly two or three feet deep for the majority of the ride, and when it is deeper it get’s calmer. A real thrill, but the best thing about this experience is the guides, who are competent, great fun and make it very safe. If you go in for this, make sure you use Balthazar River Tubing. There are others but Balthazar are really good.
Amazing experience

5.00What an awesome experience. I highly recommend it. We booked directly with Island Routes that included transportation. There were only another couple and us on the river along with our 2 guides so it was not crowded at all. It was perfect and we had a great time. The rapids were not super intense but intense enough that your heart was pumping on a few occasions. The guides had to work super hard to get the tubes going in the right direction. I can't imagine how this works with 40 people. So, having the river to ourselves was amazing!
Fantastic

4.00Although we were picked up half hour late. Sean our driver was great especially driving through the rain forrest in the rain. The River tubing was top draw, with assistance from the rain. The guys really were good at assisting all in the group. I did manage to fall out of the tube, but survived with just bruised shin. This is probably the best river tubing experience comparing Jamaica and Dominica.
So much fun!

5.00Amazing relaxing and still adventurous ride. Small rapids were fun and the staff was entertaining. Pretty short time i almost wish it was a bit longer.
Best first time experience!

5.00It was a thrilling experience! My girlfriend and I had a blast! Neither of us had ever done anything like this before and it was really worth it. We came to the island on board TUi Merella Discovery while on vocation in March from Barbados. The tour guides were kind, and pleasant to speak with. If anyone is interested in doing something while visiting the island of Grenada, I would highly recommend that you give these guys a try and also don't forget to walk with your go pro, you wouldn't want to miss capturing the ride down the river. I have to also mention that we booked this tour through the tui ship that we were on. The cruise ship docked in the island and by 9am we were being ushered into the waiting taxi vans at the port.
Rock bouncing on the river

2.00I wouldn’t describe the experience as river rafting. It was more like bouncing up and down off rocks.
Lots of fun!

4.00The excursion really was a lot of fun. We regularly tube down the Chattahoochee in Georgia, USA, so I thought it would be pretty much the same. The biggest difference is that on the Chattahoochee, you don't have guides there constantly assisting and lining you up for the best position for each rapid. The excursion itself was not difficult or scary, however the bus ride to and from the river was not very pleasant at all. It was crowded and honestly frightening! That was really the only negative for us on this excursion..
