Planning Your Visit to Rincon de la Vieja Ziplining
Seasonal Considerations
There is no best time for White Water River Tubing, it is open all year long and is a great experience all year long. Different seasons can offer different experiences for river tubing. While many sources suggest that Costa Ricaās dry season runs from December to April and the rainy season from May to November, this is a common misunderstanding, particularly for the Rincon de la Vieja Volcano area.
Dry Season
In the Rincon de la Vieja region, the actual dry season extends from late November to late August. During this period, expect sunny skies and pleasant weather. During this time of year there is also very little chance of rain happening during your tour. It is also the most popular time to visit Costa Rica so make sure to book tours in advance if you are visiting this time of year. Since it is more popular this time of year you can expect to see more people and larger group tour sizes.
Rainy Season
The true rainy season occurs during September to October, when the area receives its highest rainfall unlike most sources suggest. Rincon de la Vieja tends to stay relatively dry until late August and usually doesn’t get many effects of the rainy season until then other than some light rain in the late afternoon.
During this time of year it is recommended that you book tours in the morning to avoid the rain since usually there is rain in the afternoon. This time of year there are a lot less tourists in Costa Rica so tour slots do not fill up as fast and you can expect to see a lot less people and smaller group tour sizes.
