Rincón de la Vieja One Day Tour from Guanacaste

Rincón de la Vieja One Day Tour from Guanacaste

Private Hotel Transfers + Ziplining + River Tubing + Buffet Lunch + Hot Springs & Volcanic Mud at Hacienda Guachipelín

Enjoy a full day of adventure with private round-trip transportation from your Guanacaste accommodation and the Adventure Pass at Hacienda Guachipelín.

Please note: This experience takes place at Hacienda Guachipelín and does not include the Las Pailas hiking trail or admission to Rincón de la Vieja National Park.

Your beach lounger will understand.

There’s a river canyon to cross, three miles of Río Negro rapids to ride and a volcanic mud bath that makes getting dirty seem positively sophisticated. Add a buffet lunch and time in the hot springs, and you have a very good reason to leave the hotel for the day.

We’ll arrange your private hotel transfers and the Adventure Pass at Hacienda Guachipelín. Join other guests for the activities, or ask us to arrange a private tour for your group.

A few useful details

Is this a Rincón de la Vieja National Park hiking tour?

No. This experience takes place at Hacienda Guachipelín and does not include the Las Pailas hiking trail or admission to Rincón de la Vieja National Park.

This Adventure Pass takes place at Hacienda Guachipelín in the Rincón de la Vieja area. It does not include the Las Pailas hiking trail or admission to the national park. The day described here focuses on the canyon activities, river tubing, lunch and hot springs.
The Adventure Pass described on this page is the option without horseback riding. If you’d like to include a ride, mention it when you inquire and we’ll check the appropriate package for your group.

The minimum age for river tubing is eight. The canyon canopy activity accepts children from age four, but this does not make the complete Adventure Pass suitable for every younger child.

Please include children’s ages in your inquiry so we can check the activity requirements and available arrangements for your family.

The stated maximum for the canopy and tubing activities is 300 pounds. Horseback riding, if requested, has a separate limit of 240 pounds. Mention any questions about the activity requirements when you inquire so we can clarify them before booking.
Bring a swimsuit, a change of clothes, long pants and closed-toe shoes that can get wet. A camera is welcome, too. You’ll have considerably more to photograph than your usual view from the pool.
We prepare a personalized quote based on your pickup location, group size and choice of shared activities or a private tour. Your quote will set out the included services, total price, payment terms and cancellation conditions before you book.

We’ll take it from there. Send us your preferred date, accommodation and number of travelers, including children’s ages. Let us know whether you’d like private transfers with shared activities or a private tour for your group.
