The Rio Celeste hike is a journey through the heart of Costa Rica’s pristine wilderness. Starting at the park entrance, this well-marked trail spans several kilometers, taking approximately three hours to complete. As you trek along, you’ll be greeted by the breathtaking Rio Celeste Waterfall and the mystical Teñideros, where two rivers merge to create the river’s unique blue hue.

We did the tubing ride at 9am, it was really fun, the whole family loved it and the included lunch was just perfect after 2 hours on the Rio Celeste. All the employees where great and friendly.

Soy un viajero solitario y durante mi tour con Onca Tour me senti en familia, todos los chicos se encargaron de darnos las instrucciones necesarias para nuestra seguridad y el disfrute pleno de nuestra actividad, incluso una señora del grupo (eramos 15) durante elnrecorrido se sintio mal y fue acompañada por 2 de los Guias hasta el final, de ANDY ni hablar era el camarografo que necesitavamos para inmortalizar en una foto y recordar el Tubing en el rio Celeste de por vida asi que Andy gracias por las fotos que nos sacastes a todos, super recomendado, volvere con mi hijo y los buscaré de nuevo a ONCA TOURS

The tube tour was so fun! We were a family of 3 with a kid (9 year old). The staff was insanely fun, helpful and engaging. It felt safe yet extreme enough to get some cheap thrills (for someone who does extreme sports) - and will provide change if you’re more of an indoor person. Our kid loved it a lot. The cliff jump, the Tarzan swing and of course the tube run itself. We can’t recommend this tour enough - it was a joy and super fun 2 hours. The guides made the vibe so good we wanted to do it again next day.

Exceptional experience with the fun and energetic Onca team tubing down the absolutely beautiful Río Celeste. We chose the 1:00 pm slot and got there at 12:00 for the included lunch - prompt service, and delicious. There are a few miles of dirt roads to get to their property from the main road, so plan accordingly. Our group was about 20 people total, including a few young children and two teens, and Steven and the Onca team were friendly and helpful while also being very safety conscious. The river was at a bit of a lower flow so they helped pull the group over a few shallower areas. All told the time on the river was about 90 minutes, and included a fun cliff jump (optional) at the end. A great outdoor adventure that is also fairly accessible to those who may have less risk tolerance. Highly recommend!

Las caninas tienen lo necesario si su viaje es plan relax y conectar con la naturaleza y olvidarse de las pantallas y bulla de la ciudad. Montaña, ríos, senderos. La atención excelente.
