River Tubing FAQs
How much does river tubing cost?
Prices depend on the selected experience, group and any additions. Send your date, number of adults, children’s ages and accommodation location for a quote. Mention whether you want tubing only or the waterfall and lunch combination.
Do I need to know how to swim?
Tell us your swimming ability and comfort in moving water before booking. We will check the selected operator’s requirements and whether the route is suitable. Do not assume that using a tube removes the need to meet those requirements.
Can I add a waterfall visit and lunch?
Yes. Finca Curubanda offers tubing combined with La Leona Waterfall, with an option that also includes lunch. Your quote confirms the chosen combination, availability and meeting instructions.
Can children join the tubing tour?
Participation depends on the operator’s age, size and other requirements, as well as river conditions. Send children’s ages before booking so we can check the appropriate option for your family.
What happens if river conditions change?
Rainfall and river conditions can affect the outing. The operator determines whether the activity can run and whether the plan needs to change. Review the weather and cancellation terms provided with your booking.
Is transportation included?
Transportation is quoted separately. Tell us where you are staying if you would like a pickup and return transfer, or ask for self-drive meeting instructions.
