Why Choose a Private VIP Tubing Tour in Rio Celeste
Certified, Experienced Local Guides
Your river descent is overseen by professional local guides (including experienced safety leads like Luis and Kevin). Our crew has deep knowledge of the river’s currents and surrounding wildlife, making your 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 how to read the river, and every guest is outfitted with proper safety gear.
~2 Hours of Adventure on the River
Enjoy a relaxed, uninterrupted stretch of pure water fun. The private 5-kilometer route blends gentle Class I and II sections with calm, deep pools where you can float smoothly and take in the raw jungle canopy.
Private VIP Service from Start to Finish
No sharing your tube or your space with large groups of strangers. From custom launch times that fit your family schedule to personal attention the whole way down, this experience is tailored entirely around your group’s confidence and comfort.
Rio Celeste Tubing from La Fortuna & Arenal
For travelers arranging Rio Celeste tubing from La Fortuna or looking for a premium river escape directly from the Arenal resort belt, we arrange private round-trip ground transfers.
