What you'll see and do
The Adventure Tour starts with a short walk from the “adventure center” to the first canopy platform where, after a short briefing, the magic and exciting experience begins. this canopy tour is the only one in the country that takes you into a canyon over a turbulent river. Imagine yourself rappelling, rock climbing, doing canopy, Tarzan swings, and hanging bridges, all set in the majestic canyon made by the erosion of the Río Blanco during millions of years. This amazing tour will let you enjoy 12 cables “rides”, 24 platforms, 2 climbing walls, a hanging bridge, via ferrata rappel, swing seats and a lot of adrenaline. After lunch enjoys a horseback ride of 45 minutes through the forest till arriving at the changing rooms where we are going to prepare for the tubing adventure. After a short walk, we arrive at the foot of the Victoria waterfall, where the tubing starts. Then everyone gets his proper rafting “tube” to make the adrenaline in your body seek its way out, while you have to navigate through Río Negro´s crystal clear rapids.

Dangerous activities - not for the faint of heart
Group of us did the tour. Easy transport from Tamarindo. What’s driving the bad review are the dangerous activities. 2 of our group members fell during horseback riding. One horse bucked the rider off and the other fell. The tubing was very dangerous. Nearly everyone fell off their tubes. I personally was dragged by the current across multiple rapids with my limbs hitting rocks in the river. Class 3/4 rapids should be navigated on a raft with a guide on the raft, not a tube that you’re alone on. The guides saw me get dragged by the rapids but didn’t intervene to help. They showed more concern for the tube. The staff didn’t have walkie talkies or anything to communicate with each other during the tubing section. Multiple people were crying & upset. Zip lining was fun and safe, and the hot springs were refreshing. Food was good too. Would not do again and would not recommend

Fantastic day tubing zip lining - ending with relaxing hot springs
The zip line in the canyon is breathtaking and thrilling. Incredible scenery. The tubing in the rapids was more fun and adventurous than we expected. The horseback riding was quiet and easy- We would maybe skip that next time. Lunch was plentiful and delicious. Would highly recommend this tour. We did not get much information or guidance throughout the experience so for first timers it was definitely more challenging. Beautiful location and layout. Ending the day at the Hot Springs was perfect a great cap to a wonderful day.

Great day for the whole family
Three generations of our family did a day trip here. We did the excellently arranged zipline and climbing sequence through a variety of scenic areas and then the Rio Negro waterfalls and hot springs. Everything was exceptional - professionally arranged for a fun, safe experience, even for novice zipliners.
Response from the operator: Thanks for your comment!

Guachipelin? More like Good-chipelin!
Beautiful place, with many fun activities, and helpful guides. The activities are not for the faint of heart, but I'm not faint of heart and the guides cared very much about our safety. There was a precise schedule of activities that can be changed based on the weather. The zip lining was over goregous canyons with waterfalls, my horse did not like other horses but was nice to me when I rode him, I had never done tubing down rapids before, and we saw wild monkeys before getting in the hot springs and volcanic mud. I only wish the photographers included my particularly handsome guide in at least one of the tubing pictures <3

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
One Day Adventure Tour - Hacienda Guachipelin: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa Flamingo.
How much does One Day Adventure Tour - Hacienda Guachipelin cost?
+
Prices start at $230 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa Flamingo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does One Day Adventure Tour - Hacienda Guachipelin take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Playa Flamingo is not rushed.
Is One Day Adventure Tour - Hacienda Guachipelin worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa Flamingo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule One Day Adventure Tour - Hacienda Guachipelin?
+
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 One Day Adventure Tour - Hacienda Guachipelin suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book One Day Adventure Tour - Hacienda Guachipelin?
+
Around 3 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 Playa Flamingo 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 Playa Flamingo and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does One Day Adventure Tour - Hacienda Guachipelin 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 Playa Flamingo 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 Playa Flamingo?
+
On Outty we rank every Playa Flamingo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Flamingo, Guanacaste All Inclusive Catamaran Snorkel Adventure, Adventure Pass, Playa Flamingo Catamaran Tour with Snorkel, Lunch, Cocktails. 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 Playa Flamingo?
+
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 Playa Flamingo?
+
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.
