Amazing experience! Pura Vida!

Darin_L, Apr 2026

Amazing experience! This was one of our favorite activities during our time in Costa Rica. Our guides Nick and Fabian were excellent. The river felt amazing and our guides pointed out wildlife like monkeys and even a sloth! Nick - if you remember please send us the video from the go-pro. We totally forgot to get it from you.

Don’t miss this!!

Great Tubing Afternoon!

Keith_P, Mar 2026

We had a great time on the river, weather was perfect. The guides were very friendly and made sure our 5 year old was safe at all times. He had a fantastic time, smiles the whole ride down. Wife was sick the day we had it booked and contacted them an hour before we had it booked and no issues putting it off til the next day. Very accommodating, which was much appreciated. Easy recommend for anyone tubing in Rio Celeste, definitely chose the right operator.

So much fun!!!!

OMG! So much fun! Very patient guide as my husband isn’t super comfortable in water. The water was cool but not cold. You get used to it quickly. The guides work so hard to give you the best experience. Amazing way to be on the river. And the water is an amazing sky blue. Loved the rope swing Appreciated having a bathroom for changing into our swim suits AND especially for changing out of wet swim suits. Hubs loved their chicken empanadas (he ordered 2 assuming they’d be small but they’re big - 1/2 the size of a dinner plate!). Everything made to order so very fresh. Beautiful shaded outdoor seating. Extremely kind family welcoming atmosphere.

Fantastic Tour Guide and Experience. A Must.

Christian was the best guide and made the experience safe, memorable and fun even for a rider who had hesitations prior to the trip. This is a 'must' and an experience we will repeat any time we are in Costa Rica. It's the best way to see nature! Thank you for the excellent trip!

Perfecto

100 percent recommend this tour. It was fun and refreshing. Our guide was awesome. We were able to take some time to swim at the end and also jump off a ledge onto the river. They gave us fruit and towels at the end. Top notch service.

The most amazing day!

Absolutely incredible experience! Our guide Luis was hilarious, friendly, and made the whole tubing trip unforgettable. He took amazing GoPro videos during the ride and the company gave them to us for free — such a great bonus! The facilities were spotless, with bathrooms and even a shower, plus they thoughtfully offered me a bag for my wet clothes. The tubing itself lasted about two hours and was pure fun from start to finish — complete with a rope swing! I felt 100% safe the entire time, and the scenery along the Río Celeste was breathtaking. At the end, they treated us to bottled water and fresh fruit, which was the perfect way to wrap things up. Everything about this experience was top-notch, and I’m already planning to go back and do it again. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Costa Rica — it’s a must-do!
