Amazing. - Awesome experience. So fun. Totally worth it and highly recommend. BUT, if you have a car, you DO NOT need to go through a tour guide. It cost us about $130 more than just going to the place for the same exact experience. The tour guide didn’t do anything we couldn’t have done with the people at the sight.

Absolutely the best tubing & zipline!!! Highly recommend - Absolutely a must if your love adventure, we booked for February 2025 and the water levels were high & fast tubing with non stop action for 1-1/2 hours then we did canopy zip lines & through the canyon with a rock wall climb - so absolutely beautiful. Guides were the best and so helpful we never felt unsafe. I wanted to do this trip again after the day was done. Highly recommend if you like adventure.

Costa Rica 2025 - The white water tubing and zip lining were really fun. There were a few fun surprises during zip lining, like repelling and rock climbing. The staff was really safety conscious which I appreciated very much.

Tube, zip, horse adventure - Best overall was the tubing. We have tubed many time but nothing compares to this and the guides were fantastic and were with you to help you through the whole journey. The zip line was beautiful. The horses were adventurous and fun and the food was great. Highly recommend

Great day - We had an epic day. I'm a young business owner from a tourism town in Alaska. Meaning I have a high understanding of quality, the outdoors etc, but also not impressed easily. We had an epic time. It was a large group tour, but you didn't feel too congested throughout the day. The zip lining was fun and safe; the horseback riding was cute but the most group and restricted part of the tour. The river tubing is the must and highlight of the day. And the lunch was great.

Epic adventure! - This was an amazing adventure trip! So much fun! We were out of the pick-up area, so we paid $50 round-trip, we'll worth it. The van stayed with us through each activity, and our personal guide ushered us through, so we could be the first into the activities, before the large bus full of people. She also gave us great information about the volcanoes and and other local knowledge. Now, for the activities. The horses were fun. As a horse lover, it was great to be riding, although there was nothing that stood out about the ride. It was one of my four kids' favorite activity. The river tubing was amazing! I was shocked at the amount of white water we navigated. The river was narrow, but there were plenty of guides to help. Scenery was beautiful. It was a blast! Ziplining was also awesome! We had great ziplines through beautiful waterfalls and rainforest. There was an optional rappel and rock climb, which was a lot of fun! The hot springs/mud bath were a great way to relax after a long full day. There were plenty of pools to choose from, with varying temperatures. It was fun to try the mud bath too. My kids just turned 13, 13, 9, 9, and they all did great!

Putting Adventure in Adventure Tourism - We truly felt that we got our money's worth as there was ample time dedicated to each event. The only reason we wouldn't do it again is because my husband and I are both in our 50's and although reasonably fit for our age, this tour definitely left us exhausted at the end. I'm pretty sure I was immediately too old to participate as soon as it was done :) Even so, we both highly recommend this tour and felt it was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. Just be prepared - the tubing portion is rightfully described as "white-water" tubing. You will get wet. Water shoes would be best but we made do with our running shoes and weren't too uncomfortable spending the rest of the day in wet shoes. Also, you will get bumped around - by large rocks - which might be an issue for people with back problems. You need to feel confident enough in water to not panic when (not if) you get dumped by the rapids. You have a life jacket and there are plenty of helpers around, but you really do experience the river on your own. For the ziplining, you should expect great views, fast trips plus some added bonuses like a Tarzan-style rope swing and the only optional activity - rappelling followed by a rock climb back up to the platform. Once you start, the only option is to finish it all so if you have any doubts about heights or your ability to see it through to the end (you can't just climb down at some point and walk on the ground), this isn't the right tour for you. The horseback riding is along rugged trails with lots of rocks and boulders on the terrain. Some of the horses didn't seem as happy to be on the trip as others (my husband's horse was impatient and even nipped at a few of the other horses, but didn't buck) but the pace is slow and steady so easy compared to the tubing and ziplines. Even the walk to the hot springs involves some stone steps and hanging bridges so although the tour says that flip flops are okay for this portion, I wouldn't recommend it. The tour guide provided by Native's Way was excellent and made sure we made the most of our time at Guachipelin (especially on a busy day with other tour groups) and he even stopped on the way home so we could snap some pictures of a group of Capuchin monkeys he spotted in the trees. Also, the team at Guachipelin were incredible as well. They were very capable no matter the task and although my heart might have been pumping on more than one occasion, it was never because I was worried that they weren't taking care to ensure my safety. Great way to experience a variety of activities in Costa Rica - as long as you can handle it:) Sorry I don't have any photos to share, but we didn't buy the photo package and really were far too busy enjoying the tour! Sorry to the instagrammers, but you need 2 hands for most of it! A tour to experience - not to post!

Fun (very long) Day - Overall, we had a good time with this excursion and the guides were all great. The tubing was the best adventure of the day, by far. The rapids were a blast and it’s a fun way to cruise through the jungle. Zip lining was fun but each zip line was pretty short. The highlight of zip lining was the scenery of the waterfalls and the river cutting through the caves. If you’re a fan of smaller excursions, this may not be a good option for you. There were probably 30+ people in the zip line excursions, so the wait for the first zip line was long. The horseback riding was only about 30 minutes, which is good for me. Lastly, the hot springs were a unique experience. Overall, we enjoyed our time and we would recommend this excursion to most people. One note of caution, TripAdvisor says this will be a 10 hour excursion but it was more than 13 hours from pick up to drop off (from Protrero). So if you’re thinking about making dinner plans for that same day, be advised.

Zip lining and the white... - Zip lining and the white water tubing adventure were absolutely great. The horseback riding was not so great as the saddles were hard as a rock - everyone complained.
