Rio Negro Hot Springs

Surrounded by a dense dry tropical forest, the Rio Negro hot springs are a beautiful and peaceful place.

You can access the pools on both banks of the river thanks to two hanging bridges.

Beautiful day in Costa Rica, excellent tour and the best part was our guide Danny. I would recommend you bring a towel for the waterfall and water shoes. I also would rate it a moderate level of exercise
Very professional

Me and my parents enjoyed our day with our tour guide Kaisy. The walk was very easy and peaceful, we had to walk on hanging bridges which was cool ! My dad fell and hurt himself on the stairs while going down to the waterfall. The staff was very professional and helpful, Kaisy put band aids on his hand and desinfected the wounds. The thermal baths were very hot ! It was a very different temperature compared to the waterfall.

Took this tour on February 1st 2025 and it was definitely 5 stars. Our driver and tour guide Daniel was so knowledgeable and friendly. You could definitely tell he loved his job. We enjoyed the hot pools and the waterfall as well as the traditional Costa Rican lunch in a great restaurant. We all had an amazing day!
Amazing excursion with top notch guide!

Amazing trip to Oropendola waterfall and Rio Negro hot springs with excursion guide/driver Daniel, we highly recommend! Daniel was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and shared many fascinating facts with us during the tour in excellent English, yet also gave us space to enjoy on our own. He was an excellent driver and took beautiful pictures and videos of us in nature, while we enjoyed swimming in the waterfall and relaxing in hot springs. We felt fully satisfied with our experience and will definitely be back for another excursion with Costa Trip VIP and above-and-beyond guide Daniel, muchas gracias!

Okay so I mixed up the guides ,😅 sorry. Now THIS ONE was our favorite guide. We chose one in Spanish and if I remember his name is Daniel I think, and is nicaragüense and has like long hair enough to put it into a ponytail. But my gosh, was he Hilarious and a social butterfly which WE LOVED!! We are very appreciative and grateful that he got to lead is in this tour made our vacation really a time to remember. We didn't get to swim in the waterfall because of how bad the weather was which we knew it was a possibility so no worries, it was beautiful. But the hotsprings ooofff they were A1 . I honestly had the best time there ,not cause of the hotsprings but because the view that the hotsprings had overlooking the river...it was honestly something magical as it was also raining. Not to mention the walk there is relatively easy. This was our TOP guided tour and honestly what made it one of our faves, was the guide, honestly shout out to him because he was just so PERFECT. Much love to him and this company as it is also a locally owned small company, which we support🤟. -zavala family 👪

Daniel was the absolute best tour guide! He was very thoughtful throughout the whole day, he arrived on time, provided water, great conversation & local recommendations. He stopped for us to see animals, and more along the drive. He made this tour above and beyond. Would highly recommended booking with Daniel and Costa Trip VIP! We will be back!
