Great experience with a 4 and a 5 year old boy and girl. - My wife and I, and our kids ages 4 and 5 did 3 different tours with this company. We had the same guide for all 3 as well. He name was shortened to “G”, and he was great with the kids. We did the waterfall tour one day, and the next day we did the sloth tour and tubing. All the tours were fun in their own ways. My young kids favorite was the tubing. They wanted it to never end and wanted to do it the next day as well. It was very fun indeed. Beautiful trip down the bright blue river and saw animals along the way including 2 sloths up in the trees. It was super easy because you put in the river right at their restaurant/office. I’d also recommend the sloth tour definitely! It was at a small coffee farm and there were so many animals there. Very intimate tour and you will probably get very close to the animals.

An unforgettable experience - Wow an awesome place! Starting with the one who made the reservation was either attentive or helpful. The service was super and I loved how kind they are and how they helped us and we enjoyed ourselves especially. Mauritius was our tour guide was the best! The service was very excellent and we had a very nice day with him. But while we were in the swimming area my son had his clock shut in the water and between Mauritius and Daniel who went back to look for the clock while you were already closed and empathy and like that two boys went back to look for the clock and thank God they found it worth more than gold! They behaved so well and I was so delighted that when I come back for Costa Rica I will definitely visit them again and I am also recommending it to everyone to come for you! Thank you again and have a successful year. Pura vida 🤗

Very fun experience for the whole family - Moses was a great guide who took very good care of us, spoke great English and was an excellent driver for our family of four, kids 8 & 10. He was very knowledgeable of the river and all the rapids and we had an amazing experience with him.

A great adventure - Christopher was an amazing guide and kept us safe and entertained the whole time. We got to see two sloths and hit the rope swing multiple times. Would highly recommend this tour and would definitely recommend having Christopher as a guide! Thanks again Christopher

The Fun & Beauty of the Rio! - Rio Celeste was so fun & beautiful! We did a family tour with our 6yr old & 13yr old. We had the pleasure to tour with G (Gerald) and Daniel. They were both super friendly, warm and welcoming. G & Daniel were great to chat with, we had lots of laughs, and we even saw some sloths along the way! Such a fun and unique way to explore even more of the beauty Costa Rica has to offer! Pura Vida!

Best and longest tubbing down the Rio Celeste - The very best tubbing and the longest! We arrived following the instructions sent over whatsapp. They were all clear, and with the map spot perfectly accurate. The place is clean, it has 6 bathrooms to change and get ready. The staff is trustworthy, we left our bags under their supervision during the whole visit. All the instructions given when preparing for the tubbing were delivered clearly. We were a big group, probably around 12 to 14 people and we were driven down the 7km of river without any incident or feeling of being unattended. The experience itself is marvelous, and we will totally come back in the future to repeat it!

A great time - My friends and I did the tubing activity on our first day in Costa Rica and we had a blast! Definitely a very relaxed activity which would be great for kids and families. Even though we are a group of 22-year-olds, we had an amazing time on the river! It was absolutely beautiful and the guides were amazing and knowledgeable

Overall we had a great time!! - Nice amenities in location, friendly staff (2 members dedicated to our 6 people group). Activity started on time. I didn't give 5 starts because website for booking does not mention that the starting location is approximately 30 min away from other tubing areas near Tenorio Volcano National Park where the Rio Celeste Waterfall is. During our visit (March 2024), the river water level was low (or at least it was at the areas where our adventure started), which made it difficult for myself and, another member of my group, to get thru the river rapid areas without getting stuck between the rocks. We hurt our bottoms quite a bit (nothing serious) and the staff struggled a lot trying to pull our heavy bodies downriver. Overall, we DID have fun and the river landscape was gorgeous. At the end of the activity the staff provided fresh fruit and water.
