The guides do all the work - you just get to enjoy the fun

5.00This was a wonderful experience for our family of four, including our 10 and 12 year olds. The staff were very communicative, flexible in scheduling and super friendly. I didn't realize in advance that there would be quite so many rapids, but the guides are excellent at steering the tubes down just the right path through the rocks so that it was fun and not scary. We never got stuck, we never flipped over, we always felt safe and had so much fun. They ended up doing all the steering work while we got to just enjoy the ride. I also loved that they took pictures and videos so that we didn't have to, and they don't charge you extra for them like so many other operators do. My kids loved the rope swing at the end. Great experience in a beautiful area of Costa Rica.
Amazing experience! Pura Vida!

5.00Amazing 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!!

5.00We made the detour from Arenal on our way to Monteverde. It was not on the way but the detour was worth it. Beautiful water at 89F, blue even more beautiful than in the photos. In addition our guide had a GoPro and shared 30 photos/videos without asking for an extra $$$. I recommend
Great Tubing Afternoon!

5.00We 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!!!!

5.00OMG! 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.
Great kid friendly experience for families

5.00Loved the entire experience. Got to see sloths, Tucans, Herons while tubing down the beautiful teal coloured river. Kids had a blast.
Fantastic Family Experience with Top-Notch Guides!

5.00We had an incredible experience! The guides were exceptionally professional and friendly. I loved that they kept the groups small; our group of 9 was divided into two smaller teams, each with two dedicated guides. I traveled with my 5-year-old daughter, and the staff took amazing care of her, ensuring her life vest and helmet fit perfectly. The river itself was a stunning, vibrant blue—truly a sight to see. To top it all off, we were provided with fresh towels, delicious food, and drinks at the end of the tour. This exceeded all expectations. Highly recommended!

5.00Very nice and chill experience. Had a fantastic escort who started working as a tour guide at the same time. You were also given time to swim and hang on a vine. Would recommend this much more than viewing the waterfall (for those still in doubt)
