Why Private Tubing in Rio Celeste is the Ultimate Adventure
Certified, Experienced Local Safety Guides
Your river descent is overseen by professional local river guides. Our crew has deep knowledge of the river’s currents and surrounding wildlife, making your water experience both educational and securely managed.
Complete Safety Equipment & Pre-Tour Briefing
We don’t compromise on safety. Before a single tube touches the water, your group goes through a full briefing covering posture, control, and river reading, and every guest is fitted with proper protective gear.
~2 Hours of Pure Adventure on the Water
Enjoy an unhurried, 5-kilometer (3-mile) route blending gentle Class I and II rapids with calm, deep turquoise pools where you can float smoothly under the raw rainforest canopy.
Private VIP Service from Start to Finish
No sharing your tube or your space with strangers. From custom launch times that fit your family schedule to personal attention the whole way down, our Rio Celeste tubing trip is tailored entirely around your group’s confidence and comfort.
Arranging Tubing Rio Celeste from La Fortuna & Arenal Resorts
For travelers organizing a Rio Celeste river tubing tour from La Fortuna or looking for a premium river escape directly from the Arenal resort belt, we arrange private round-trip ground transfers. The journey takes roughly 1.5 to 2 hours each way in comfortable air-conditioned vans, bringing you straight to our staging location near Katira.

Yes. Our private river trips run on a section of the river with gentle Class I and Class II currents, which are playful and fun yet safe for beginners, seniors, and children. We provide a complete pre-tour briefing and multiple dedicated safety guides accompany your private group the whole way, holding tubes when needed so everyone stays secure and well looked after.
