Water Tubing Adventure in Blue River, Hot Springs & More
What your day looks like
One of the most exciting ways to go down a river is lying on a rubber inner tube, winding around bends and passing along calm water, white water and through adrenaline pumping chutes. This water tubing adventure tour is a thrill for all adults looking for excitement and its been rated Costa Rica’s premier tubing tour. Rocks tower out of the water but are blocked by the tube like a bumper car, sending you in another direction, spinning forward or backward. Being in close contact with the water means that whoever doesn’t hold on may fall out of the tube. The lush rain forest forms a picturesque periphery, through canyons and thick jungle. In fact the sound of blue water rushing past is quiet compared to the resident howler monkeys, insects and birds. The tubing takes place along the blue water river, Rio Azul, in the rain forest. Begin and end a short distance from the resort for an adventure lasting approximately 2 ½ hours, so prepare for pure pleasure. Then spend "down-time" at the resort, with its four gorgeous natural mineral “green” hot spring pools, mud baths, botanical gardens with over 700 varietals, a butterfly farm, a fresh water pool with bullet water slide and much more.
