Itinerary
The best all day adventure combo on Rincon de la Vieja Volcano that includes ziplining, horseback riding, river tubing, full lunch, hot springs, and volcanic mud bath. Ziplining First you will get strapped in your harness and start the ziplining course through the canopy and canyons! The course takes you into a steep canyon over a turbulent river, where you will zipline, rappel and rock climb, cross hanging bridges and ride Tarzan swings. You will go down 8 zip line cables, 18 platforms, a climbing wall, a hanging bridge, “via ferrata” (cable) rappel, and a tarzan swing! Horseback Riding After ziplining, you will return to the tour base to prepare for a 45-minute horseback ride through the forest viewing the local flora and fauna of Rincon de la Vieja Volcano
River Tubing - You will have the time of your life bouncing down Rio Negro’s crystal clear and fun rapids in your individual rafting “tube” for over 5 kilometers. Lunch includes many choices of entrees and sides, dessert bar, fresh juice, coffee and tea. All dietary resctrictions can be accommodated
Hot Springs & Volcanic Mud Bath After lunch you will driven to the Hot Springs. Surrounded by tropical dry forest, the Río Negro (Black River) Hot Springs feature ten pools with thermal waters heated naturally by the Rincón de la Vieja Volcano.The soothing mineral waters are crystal clear and all natural, and the river flows through the pools constantly refilling them with water. Relax and enjoy luxuriating in our healing waters. You can also try our volcanic mud “bath”, where you smooth volcanic clay mud all over yourself like a spa “masque,” then after it dries, wash it off with a cool river water shower. The hot springs water will feel great afterwards!

Traveler reviews
The best guide Armando
Armando, our guide, was excellent. A true guide, he explained many interesting things about Costa Rica and the activities. Excellent! 100% recommended.
Last minute booking, excellent experience
Was traveling with my husband and 2 kids 14 and 11, booked last minute and was skeptical after reading the negative reviews, so we were prepared with additions change of clothes, towel, kept some protein bars in case don’t get food till very late. I got a text message the day before regarding pick up time which was 6:00 am instead of 6:30 am as listed while booking, which was not a big deal and we did expect it to be a long and busy day! I also got all instructions upfront - regarding packing additional set of dry clothes, full pants for horseback riding( we were comfortable with shorts no issues whatsoever) even though we carried extra full length clothes, we did not know the sequence of activities upfront so we just wore shorts and tshirt over the swim wear. Our tour guide Armando was excellent and knowledgeable, he arrived before 6, gave us very explicit instructions about what to expect-when we will get time to change and we had plenty of time in between activities to switch quick into water shoes and dry off, it was a Packed day with 4 activities so we were not expecting much room. He did take us to a breakfast place prior to reaching the adventure venue ( self paid not included in package and we got decent options there and we did take advantage of that!), lunch (delicious) was at 1-1:15 pm and worked well since we had a breakfast at 8. We did receive our pictures as well via email- I was really worried about that since some reviews said it was a scam. You can take your phone as long as you are it’s secured well and in a waterproof case; it was strongly discouraged and we did not know what we were getting into so we left it with our stuff in the bus and hence opted for pictures, people from some other groups were carrying phones. Our minibus had plenty of room - our party had 11 people total in a bus that could seat 15-16 people; there was a water cooler with bottled water provided by Armando in the bus. Horseback riding was appx 45 mins, tubing 1:30-2hrs, canopying was around 1-1:30 Hr and hot spring was 1 hr so total time was 5-6hrs. All in all money well spent. We were picked and dropped at JW Marriott (7pm) but it’s almost 2:30-3 hrs from the venue. Do it! Kids and adults all loved it.
Awesome!!
Everything was the best but tubing was the highlight of the experience! Horseback riding was also fun!
So many beautiful memories
We had an absolutely wonderful time and would highly recommend this adventure! The tubing was one of the highlights—it was much longer than we expected with plenty of twists, turns, and exciting sections that kept it fun from start to finish. The zip lining was phenomenal! One moment you're soaring through the lush rainforest, and the next you're flying through a real canyon. The scenery was breathtaking and made for an unforgettable experience. The horseback ride was relaxing, with calm, well-trained horses that knew the trail, making it enjoyable even for beginners. Every staff member was friendly, professional, and full of energy, which made the entire day even more fun. Lunch was served at a charming ranch with a delicious buffet featuring authentic local cuisine. Everything was well organized from beginning to end, and we left with amazing memories. If you're looking for a day filled with adventure, beautiful scenery, and exceptional service, this is the place to go!
