About this tour
Our take
Tubing the Celeste river and the blue waterfall in Tenorio Volcano National Park, with pickup offered from Tamarindo, Flamingo and the Papagayo area as well as La Fortuna. The wildlife is listed plainly as an animal sanctuary stop with two sloth species — a facility rather than a forest sighting, which is the honest way to list it. Taxes, transport, fruit, lunch and the tubing are included. From $149 per person; prices change.
Departing from La Fortuna (Arenal Volcano), Tamarindo Beach, Flamingo Beach, and the Papagayo area, the tropical rainforest in the Tenorio Volcano National Park and magnificent turquoise blue Rio Celeste waterfall awaits us. A local expert guide will company you. We will briefly stop to admire the 400 year-old Tree of Peace. We'll cool off in the Celeste River by taking an hour-and-a-half tubing tour down the blue river and stoping in several places to swim and snack on fresh regional fruits.
