Rio Celeste is famous for its unusual turquoise water, and this day trip lets you float right on it. We pick you up at your hotel in La Fortuna at 7:00 am and drive to the Tenorio Volcano National Park area, where your bilingual guide fits you with tubing equipment and safety gear before you head out on the river.

After tubing, you choose how to spend the rest of the day. You can hike to the well-known Rio Celeste waterfall, or visit the Sibaeli Chocolate Tour to see how cacao becomes chocolate. Lunch and refreshments are included, and along the way your guide shares what makes this river and forest so special.

The day runs six to eight hours and is a moderate outing, with time on the water and some walking. It suits families, friends and anyone who likes being outdoors. If you're unsure whether tubing or the hike is right for someone in your group, message us on WhatsApp and we'll give you an honest answer, and help you pick the option that fits.
