Awesome excursion- fun for our family with a teen - and anyone looking for some adventure
Very professional operation with timely pickup/drop off. Never felt rushed. Easy transition from one activity to the next. All of the activities were nearby each other within the reserve, so didn’t need to get in the van in between. Also plenty of opportunities to change clothes if that’s your preference. The facility provided towels to use and the bathrooms were all very clean. Great overall experience

Do it all in one experience!
If you’re ready to try it all in one stop, stop looking and booking this tour. Our guide was extremely friendly and took us shopping for souvenirs after. All in all great day! If water is low wear a rash guard as you will be paddling during tubing and getting a rash if not.

Great experience
Great experience. Zip lining was great, even with a reluctant 6 year old. Horse ride was a little longer than expected. End of dry season so water levels were low and tubes frequently got stuck. Probably better when water levels are higher. Overall a wonderful experience. Everyone had a great time.
Response from the operator: We're delighted you had a great zip lining experience! We apologize for any inconvenience caused due to water levels. Looking forward to welcoming you back for a smoother tubing experience. Thank you!

The best adventure in Costa Rica
This was an amazing excursion! So full of action & adventure! The driver who picked us up was friendly and informative, he was with us from beginning to end. The guys who helped us with zip lining and river tubing were amazing. They were nice and super patient and helpful. I highly recommend this excursion!

Great excursion
4 of us set out from Secrets resort to Canyon River. Carlos was our driver. About an hour to the place. We saddled up. We thought we could ride the horses and the change to swimsuits for the river. WRONG. We rode the horses to the river for our “put in”. The horse ride was ok. I was put on mule. I’m sure they had their reasons. That was a little disappointing but the river tubing certainly made up for it. It was so much fun. Our guides were great in pushing us through the few slow spots. There weren’t many. Most of it were rapids and waterfalls negotiated through smooth worn boulders. Spinning and laughing down theColorado river in Costa Rica on a hot and cloudy day was the way to spend the morning. We all loved it. Then we were surprised with the warm water soak. It felt good after a few butt bumps along the river ride. Lastly, the prepared lunch was extremely good. The fish was outstanding. We ate while listening to the gentle rain hit the metal roof. Carlos returned us to Secrets safe and sound. Photos arrived in email same day to memorialize our great trip. We highly recommend this tour. Pura Vida. (Zip lining was also available. It looked fun but we choose not to partake. The lines went back and worth over the river and would be a treat for those who want to add it to the excursion)

Tubing at Canyon River, Canopy and Hot Spring Combo Tour From Playa Hermosa: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa Flamingo.
How much does Tubing at Canyon River, Canopy and Hot Spring Combo Tour From Playa Hermosa cost?
+
Prices start at $195 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 Tubing at Canyon River, Canopy and Hot Spring Combo Tour From Playa Hermosa take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Tubing at Canyon River, Canopy and Hot Spring Combo Tour From Playa Hermosa worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 13 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 Tubing at Canyon River, Canopy and Hot Spring Combo Tour From Playa Hermosa?
+
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 Tubing at Canyon River, Canopy and Hot Spring Combo Tour From Playa Hermosa suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tubing at Canyon River, Canopy and Hot Spring Combo Tour From Playa Hermosa?
+
Around 5 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tubing at Canyon River, Canopy and Hot Spring Combo Tour From Playa Hermosa 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.
