Gerald was an awesome guide! We had SO much fun! This excursion is super kid-friendly and adult friendly. My kids, ages 7 and 10 had a great time! Gerald was next to us the whole time, making sure we was safe and having fun. The activity ended with a wonderful surprise: sweetest pineapple and bananas. Highly recommend this excursion to anyone and everyone.

The address is correct on the booking. There just isn’t much branding on the building. 5 star experience. Saw sloths, cool birds and iguanas. The provided the best fruit I’ve ever had. Float was fun.

      Highly recommend - this was a perfect tubing excursion. It was so much fun and the service was unmatched. This was so much better than any other tubing adventure I looked at. Both of our boys (12 and 14) said this was the best thing they’ve done in Costa Rica. Absolutely loved it!!! Gerald and the crew were so warm and welcoming.

      Fun Experience

      The guides were very friendly and we had such a great experience. It was me and my girlfriend and one other couple and the guides did a great job keeping everyone safe. Would recommend booking.

      We loved this experience...

      Charlotte_K, Apr 2026
      We loved this experience and would highly recommend! My children wanted to do river tubing, and this is the only one I could find in La Fortuna. I was hesitant to book because while it had mainly all 5 start reviews it only had 200 (when many of the Viator experiences had much more). Come to find out the owner just started the company about a year ago after having done this for 15 years at the Springs Resort. Don't let this hold you back. It was the perfect mix of excitement, thrill and relaxation. I never felt unsafe and it was a beautiful and very different experience. I highly recommend!

      Perfect for all ages!

      Very relaxing and fun....

      Very relaxing and fun. Tour guides are great. The nature was fabulous. A great mix of adventure and calm waters

      Hands down best tubing and host around!

      What an Outstanding experience!! We’ve done another one here that doesn’t even come close to comparing. We had 2 solid hours on the water seeing the most incredible sceneries Ever. They went out of their way to not just keep us safe, but also give us so much rich history into Costa Rica. If you’re looking for a tubing experience here, book this one. The rest are 2 short runs down a small area. We had to have covered miles of lush forest.

      This shouldn't be a tour....

      Ruth_B, Feb 2026
      This shouldn't be a tour. Very dangerous going over class 3 and 4 rapids in an inner tube. This should have been in a raft certified for white water rafting. I flipped in the tube and banged up my body pretty bad on the rocks. I talked to the owner and he said it was a concept. Don't make the same mistake we did. Just book the white water rafting trip. We were expecting a calm river float over tranquil waters.

      Highly recommended - Local Experienced Operator

      Steven_H, Feb 2026
      Great experience. Booked a last minute tubing trip and had an amazing time. Met our guides at the Pink Hostel in la Fortuna, which is also owned by the operator. Took a 15min trip to the river, followed by a 5 min hike to the river. Conditions for us in mid February were ideal. The 2hr ride down had some adventurous moments in the rapids but we felt safe and well guided our two guides. Ended the at a riverbank downstream with fruit and the ride back waiting for us. The owner and Sr guide is knowledgeable and friendly and made the experience memorable.

      Don’t hesitate, book this trip!

      This trip was an amazing experience and a spectacular way to experience the natural beauty of La Fortuna. Our guides were knowledgeable and friendly. They pointed out sloths, iguanas, and flora related specifically to Costa Rica and Central America. The trip consists of a short drive and a walk down hill to the river. Total trip is about two hours. I was a bit nervous and they made me feel completely at ease. This would’ve been a five star review, except the photos that were taken on our trip were never shared after the fact, despite providing contact information via WhatsApp, text message and email.

      Amazing experience

      Amy_L, Jan 2026
      This was a great experience, my 10 year old son said it was his favorite experience we’ve had in Costa Rica and we have been here 5 times. The guides were amazing and made you feel like family. They took great care of us and made sure we were safe and had fun. I would highly recommend to anyone!!

      Fantastic Tour Guide and Experience. A Must.

      Velinda_H, Nov 2025
      Christian was amazing! He gave us the best experience, despite one rider having some fear of the experience prior to going on the trip. It was safe, fun and filled with extra stops to allow us to swing and try the mud. We will definitely be back. This was a tour we deemed 'unmissable' when we return to Costa Rica. We will want to do this every time. It's the best way to see nature.

      Great river tubing adventure!
