La Leona Waterfall and River Tubing Private Tour
Important Information
Not suitable for guests with knee, ankle, or mobility issues
Not suitable for individuals who are pregnant
The minimum age for river tubing is 6 years old
It’s important to keep in mind that the private tour guarantees no one else will be in your group tour and with the same tour guide at the time you pick. However, there will be other people in the river and in the waterfall by the time we get there because rivers in Costa Rica can not be private. The private tour means that you will have a guide assisting your group only at all times and that you won’t be part of a big tour group while doing the tour.
The color of the river can change quickly based on the weather at the volcano, even if it is sunny here the water can be affected. We can never guarantee the color of the water because it is a part of nature.
La Leona Waterfall
