Must do at Tenorio
Amazing experience and great value. Highly recommend doing the tubing + lunch. The food was delicious. Our guide Brad was very experienced, he spotted monkeys, sloths, various kinds of tree frogs, array of birds and more. Cannot recommend enough!

Memorable activity!
A little dose of adrenaline and a lot of fun with Jefferson, a truly charming guide. He knows the river by heart, was very cool with the kids (11 and 13), and we felt safe. I recommend it!

Amazing tubing experience
Amazing trip down Rio Celeste. Our guides were amazing and even spotted 4 sloths as we went down the river. My daughter and her friend got to swing and jump onto the river. We all had an amazing time!

My favorite activity in Costa Rica
This was our favorite activity in Costa Rica! Our kids are 14 & 12. Our guide, Jefferson, was fantastic! He worked hard to guide our family of four and was so nice and entertaining! Everyone at the tubing company was friendly and helpful! Highly recommend!

Beautiful Rio Celeste.
We were a little nervous with taking a 5 year old down the rapids, but the whole trip felt extremely safe. The guides were very good, making sure we were hitting the small rapids correctly each time. And the river is so gorgeous! This was a favorite excursion of our trip. Totally worth every dollar. And don’t forget to tip your guides!

Our activities have a completely different atmosphere.😉

Great fun tubing on Rio Celeste!
Fantastic experience and actually we had more fun as a family then when we went white water rafting - especially when we got to go solo at the end. 2 guides Eddy and Fabian for just 5 of us so really personal and time to have fun in the swimming area, stop when there was a sloth climbing above our heads. Will definitely do it again!
