    Een fantastische ervaring die we niet hadden willen missen. Orlando is the best!

    Orlando was a great guide!!! We had a realy good time. It was fun, it was rough, it was wet and Orlanda made it even nicer!

It sounds like you got the full river experience—fun, rough, and wet—and we are so glad Orlando made it even more special for you!

    Exciting Adventure With Amazing Guides

    Our morning started out with a beautiful drive and learning more about Costa Rica from Pablo. When we arrived to the site for canyoning we were shown around the small farm and scenery. The canyoning down the waterfalls was a thrilling experience and we felt very safe in the hands of our guide Orlando. The hot springs were a treat to relax in. Then we had an exciting experience with our guide Niko rafting in the rapids. We absolutely recommend this company and experience as everyone was friendly and we had an amazing time seeing the surrounding areas near La Fortuna!

    Response from the operator: What a pleasure to hear you had such an exciting adventure! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the canyoning, rafting, and relaxing hot springs, and that the day was memorable from start to finish. We hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable experience near La Fortuna!

    La Fortuna: Small-Group Canyoning, Rafting, and Water-Tubing Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.

    How much does La Fortuna: Small-Group Canyoning, Rafting, and Water-Tubing Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $153 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Fortuna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does La Fortuna: Small-Group Canyoning, Rafting, and Water-Tubing Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Fortuna is not rushed.

    Is La Fortuna: Small-Group Canyoning, Rafting, and Water-Tubing Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 32 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule La Fortuna: Small-Group Canyoning, Rafting, and Water-Tubing Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is La Fortuna: Small-Group Canyoning, Rafting, and Water-Tubing Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book La Fortuna: Small-Group Canyoning, Rafting, and Water-Tubing Tour?

    +

    Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Fortuna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Fortuna and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does La Fortuna: Small-Group Canyoning, Rafting, and Water-Tubing Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Fortuna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in La Fortuna?

    +

    On Outty we rank every La Fortuna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Upper Balsa River White Water Rafting Class 3/4 in Costa Rica, White Water Rafting Class II and III, Authentic Coffee and Chocolate Tour at North Fields. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit La Fortuna?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in La Fortuna?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in La Fortuna: Small-Group Canyoning, Rafting, and Water-Tubing Tour?

    +

    Included: Organic farm tour with sugarcane demonstation; Harness, helmet, life jacket, paddle, raft and tubing; Lunch; and Pick up/drop off and transpotation. Not included: Gratuities; photos; Watershoes; and Long pants/long tights. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does La Fortuna: Small-Group Canyoning, Rafting, and Water-Tubing Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 55 listed pickup locations in and around La Fortuna. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is La Fortuna: Small-Group Canyoning, Rafting, and Water-Tubing Tour offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for La Fortuna: Small-Group Canyoning, Rafting, and Water-Tubing Tour?

    Is La Fortuna: Small-Group Canyoning, Rafting, and Water-Tubing Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
