Very nice ride with super enthusiastic guides in a river with emerald green water. Our guides Nano and Olman were great.

Rio Celeste Adventures!

Amazing experience for you family. We have two young kids 10 and 4. They both loved it and it was the highlight of our trip!! Will was an amazing guide. We saw a Sloth on the river and we always felt safe. We also stopped for a jump in the river! Don’t hesitate to book this experience!!!

Tubbing in Rio Celeste

Wonderful walk. The guides Will and Heraldo were very kind and attentive, showing us the wildlife as we took the walk. Additionally, we forgot clothes in a bag, and Beto had the kindness to send them to us by mail to San José. A thousand thanks for all the attention received!

Excellent.

An excellent experience from beginning to end! I want to especially thank Daniel and Alejandro, who made our tubing tour on Río Celeste unforgettable. From the first moment they were very kind, professional, and attentive. At all times they were mindful of our safety, explaining clearly to us what to do when approaching the rapids areas and guiding us with a lot of patience and confidence. Thanks to their instructions and care we were able to enjoy the adventure with total peace of mind. It is clear that they are passionate about what they do and that they truly care about providing a safe and fun experience. Without a doubt, they are a fundamental part of this tour. Thank you so much, Daniel and Alejandro! I hope you continue doing this excellent work. I recommend them 100%.

Spectacular!

A spectacular experience! The tubing tour on Río Celeste was one of the best activities of our trip, and a large part of that was thanks to our guides, Daniel and Alejandro. From the very first moment, he made us feel secure with his clear instructions, his professionalism, and the attention he gave to each member of the group. Throughout the entire tour, he was attentive to our safety, without failing to make the experience fun and exciting. His kindness, enthusiasm, and excellent treatment made us enjoy the adventure to the fullest. It is clear that he is passionate about what he does and that he truly cares about his clients. We recommend this tour, and especially Daniel and Alejandro, 100%! Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

Natural beauty and adventure

Olma guided our group for ~4km down a river that varied between calm and smaller rapids which were fun and exiting but safe even for tubes. Being the “wet season” the water is relatively high and moving but very clear/clean. You have an opportunity to swim and swing on a swing. Olma truly guided us… actually steering us down the river to avoid collisions but making it fun.

Was planning on a tranquil float but ended up with an adrenaline filled adventure!

We booked this through Viator, expecting a mostly relaxing float with a few small rapids based on the description and pictures. The concierge from Rio Celeste Tubing messaged in the morning letting us know the water level was high due to a lot of rain (it’s the rainy season) and gave us options of waiting to see what the weather did, switch to zip lining or rescheduling. They said we could come later to give the rain a chance to die down. We were staying 2 hours away so we decided to grab some lunch and make the trek and decide once we got there. I have 3 daughters under 13 and 2 didn’t want to zip line. The concierge assured us we would be safe with the tubing guides and even sent us with an extra guide so we were 2 people per guide instead of 3. The trip was awesome. Way more adrenaline than I planned but we never felt unsafe. Everyone had fun including the youngest that I was worried would be scared. I highly recommend!

We toured the paths of the Tenorio PN, saw the waterfall, and river celestial. We are joined by the guide Nano super amabl

We toured the paths of the Tenorio PN, saw the waterfall, and river celestial. We were joined by the super friendly and nice Nano guide who gave us all the information, the delicious lunch and ended the afternoon with the tubing that is spectacular!! We were joined by the guide Alejandro who gave us a lot of security. Super recommended!?💯

Operator response

¡Muchísimas gracias por la recomendación del 100%! Nos alegra mucho que hayan disfrutado de la experiencia completa, desde los hermosos senderos del Parque Nacional Tenorio y la impresionante cascada del Río Celeste hasta el espectacular descenso en flotador. Nano estará muy contento de saber que disfrutaron de su tour y del delicioso almuerzo, y nos aseguraremos de contarle a Alejandro lo mucho que apreciaron la seguridad y el cuidado que les brindó en el río. ¡Ambos son una parte fundamental de nuestro equipo! Recuerden que cuando quieran regresar, los recibiremos con los brazos abiertos; para nosotros, son parte de la familia. La próxima vez que nos visiten, tal vez podamos agregar una aventura en tirolesa a su viaje para que disfruten de una perspectiva diferente del bosque. Gracias nuevamente por sus amables palabras, ¡y Pura Vida desde Costa Rica!

Tubbing good

The tubbing was excellent, the river beautiful and the guides super attentive and careful with my 3 children. I give it a 4 because we did it together with the horseback riding, which from what I understood was from another company and that was quite bad, although the guide was attentive, some of the horses seemed sick and I am not sure it was safe for us to ride them in those conditions. The tour is pretty bad, you pass places with lots of people and it is also short.
