This was my favorite activity of our entire Costa Rica trip, and we did a lot of fun things! We were there at the very end of October, and I was worried about the water being brown instead of the gorgeous blue, but it was very blue and just absolutely stunning! We went as a family with 4 kids ages 4-10 yrs old. The water level was lower when we went and it was very mellow and we felt very safe. There was another tour company that came down right after us with a ton of people, and I was so glad we went with these guys because it was just our family, which made it extra special. There are a couple places where you pull off and play on a swing and jump into the water, which was amazing! We kept pinching ourselves with how green and luscious the surrounding were and the blue of the water. Just stunning, and so so fun! We ended up seeing a sloth in the tree where you begin and then some monkeys playing in the trees above us. I never felt cold (and I get cold easily). Our youngest did get a little cold, but she was fine once she started moving more. Don’t miss out on this excursion!

Easy to book and price was reasonable. Traveled with young children and guides made us feel very safe with them on the river. They were in and out of the water the entire time making sure we stayed together and stopped throughout to take in the various sights. Could tell they really enjoyed their job. Fresh fruit and towels at the end were a nice touch. Suggest showing up early and ordering a pizza at the hotel Celeste where the tour departs from. Would definitely book this tour again!

My family of four did this, including two sons (22 and 24). We had a great time even with low water in the river (May of 2023). It was beautiful, fun and a unique active experience. Do be sure to get a large enough tube to carry your weight over (above) the boulders you’ll be floating over! Definitely recommend for those seeking some adventure. Do it!!

Great fun tubing down the River Celeste rapids. Our guides were brilliant and Jonathan could not have been more diligent and hardworking in steering us through the rapids and making sure we were safe. Adults and Kids loved it!

This group was great! It was only one guide that went with us - I will say - if you are scared of water in the rainy season, do not go on this tour. The water was raging. But if you like water, can swim and feel comfy getting tossed around a lot then do it! We had so much fun. Would I take a kid - no. Not in the rainy season. What should have been a 2 hr leisurely tour turned into 1 hr tour at a very fast pace and water that was at times tumultuous. So just be mindful ;)

Wonderful time tubing the gorgeous Rio Celeste! David our guide took very good care of us and made sure we had a fun, safe time.

We have two small kids and our guide was amazing. The kids felt comfortable the entire trip. Definitely recommend this company for families.

Rio Celeste is a must see and I highly recommend this tour. Everyone was so friendly - from the staff at the hotel where you meet, the dogs at the hotel and of course, the guides. The water was a little low given the time of year, but the guide were awesome and worked their tails off to make sure we kept on moving. If you’re staying in La Fortuna, it is a bit of a hike to get here, but it’s absolutely worth it.

Jonathon was an amazing guide with a sense of humour. . We had so much fun and would gladly recommend.
