Amazing tour
Such an amazing experience! We did the horseback riding and tubing combo tour, and we had so much fun! Everyone was super friendly and welcoming, and both of our guides were absolutely wonderful. They made sure we were safe the entire time while still making everything fun and enjoyable. Lunch was included and was SO good, and we also got fresh fruit, which was such a nice touch. The whole experience was well organized, fun, and definitely worth it. We had an amazing time and would absolutely recommend this tour! 🐎🌴🌊

Unforgettable adventure!!
We went with our guides Fernando & Alessandro for tubing and they were amazing. They were so kind to us and our kids, we all had a blast and felt very safe! Our kids loved them and they made the whole experience unforgettable. Lunch was amazing as well, everything we ordered was great. Our horseback tour was also excellent our guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. This was an experience we will remember forever and highly recommend to anyone thinking about it. It’s an amazing deal for everything that’s included.

What a day!
The horseback riding was first and it was a bit intimidating having never really been on a horse but my husband and I had a blast! There was a language barrier too but we figured it out. Next came tubing down the river and WOW! It’s fast paced and may not be for older individuals but we had a freaking blast!! I will do that again if we go! The lunch was last and we had a different menu to choose from. Traditional Costa Rican food or pizza. It was good and filled us up after a long day of adventuring.

Río Celeste Combo: Water Tubing, Horseback Riding and Lunch.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.
How much does Río Celeste Combo: Water Tubing, Horseback Riding and Lunch. cost?
+
Prices start at $110 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 Río Celeste Combo: Water Tubing, Horseback Riding and Lunch. take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Río Celeste Combo: Water Tubing, Horseback Riding and Lunch. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Río Celeste Combo: Water Tubing, Horseback Riding and Lunch.?
+
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 Río Celeste Combo: Water Tubing, Horseback Riding and Lunch. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Río Celeste Combo: Water Tubing, Horseback Riding and Lunch.?
+
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 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Río Celeste Combo: Water Tubing, Horseback Riding and Lunch. 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.
