The day ends with a traditional meal before the drive back to the coast. It is the option if you want both the walk and the river, rather than the waterfall on its own. ๐Ÿ“‹ Key Details Duration: About 6 hours, including pickup Hike: About 3 hours to La Leona Tubing: Rio Colorado, class 2-3 Meal: Traditional lunch included Group size: 2 to 12 ๐ŸŒŠ What to Expect The walk mixes forest path and riverbed. You will get your feet wet and use your hands on some of the rock. The guide keeps the group together and does not rush the slower walkers. La Leona is a waterfall with a pool at the bottom, and you get time there for photos and a swim if it is safe. After the hike you put on a helmet, take a tube, and float the Rio Colorado. The rapids are class 2 to 3, so there are bumps and a few drops, with the guide telling you what to do before each one. Then you sit down for a meal, compare photos, and head back to your hotel. ๐Ÿ“ Location Both parts of the day are on the Rincon de la Vieja side of Guanacaste, inland from the beaches. The trail and the river put-in are reached by road. You are not driving yourself between them. Pickup is from hotels in the Guanacaste zone. Rain can make the river livelier, and the guide will change the plan if the water is too high to tube safely. Shoes that drain are useful, because you wear them on the hike and they will be wet by the time you reach the tubes. ๐ŸŽ’ Prerequisites You need to be able to walk for about three hours on uneven ground, including shallow river crossings. Children from age 1 can come with a parent who stays with them on the trail and in the tube. You do not need tubing experience. Avoid flip-flops. Shoes with a grip and a strap work better on wet rock, and a dry pair in your bag is worth it for the ride home. If anyone is unsure about rapids, or has a food requirement for the meal, tell the team when you book. ๐ŸŒ… Why Choose Us The company has been running Guanacaste day trips since 2015, and a family team has owned it since 2023. They have worked in hotels and tours, and they still travel a lot themselves, so the days are set up around practical things: a clear pickup time, a guide who explains what is happening, and a group small enough to slow down when someone needs a break. Guides are trained in first aid. Vehicles are checked, insured, and approved for public tourism usโ€ฆ ### Essential information _None._ ### Whatโ€™s included Hotel pickup and drop-off Guided hike to La Leona waterfall River tubing on Rio Colorado Tubing equipment and safety briefing Traditional meal Professional guide ### Whatโ€™s not included Transport to and from the meeting point if outside the pickup zone Travel insurance Gratuities Personal snacks Water shoes if not provided (bring secure wet footwear) ### Kit list Closed shoes suitable for hiking and water Quick-dry clothing Reusable water bottle Towel and dry set for after tubing Insect repellent ## FAQs ### How hard is the hike? Expect about three hours on mixed forest and river terrain with some wading; fitness for steady walking is important. Guides set a group pace and may offer helping hands on slippery rocks after rain. The guide waits at the river crossings and does not leave people strung out along the trail. ### How intense is the tubing? Rapids are class 2 to 3, livelier than a lazy river but short of big whitewater rafting. Safety gear and a briefing precede the float, and children from age one may join with parents. You get a helmet and a tube, and the guide explains each rapid before you reach it. ### Is this the same as the lunch-only La Leona tour? This product adds Rio Colorado tubing after the waterfall hike; the standalone lunch hike is a separate booking. Choose this combo if you want both forest trekking and river floating in one day. If you only want the walk and the meal, book the hike with lunch instead of this one. ### What footwear works best? Shoes with grip that drain water work for both hike and tube sections; avoid flip-flops. Some guests pack dry shoes for the bus ride home after tubing. You can leave the dry pair in the van so you are not walking back to the bus in wet shoes. ### Is lunch included? Yes, a traditional meal is scheduled after tubing before return transfers. It is a sit-down meal with the group, not something you eat on the walk. Tell the operator about dietary restrictions when they confirm pickup. You eat after the tubing, once you are off the river and have had a few minutes to dry off. ### Can infants join? Minimum age is one year with a parent managing carries on harder trail sections. Infants must sit on laps in vehicles per supplier guidance. Say how old the youngest person is when you book so the vehicle has a lap seat planned. ### What is the group size? Two to twelve guests per departure keeps the hike and tubing manageable. One person cannot book the departure on their own. Private tours may be available by contacting the operator after booking. Twelve is the maximum. The hike and the river are easier to manage when the group is smaller than that. ### Do I need swimming skills? Life jackets are used on the river; comfort around water helps on the hike's river crossings. Inform guides if anyone in your party is nervous so they can plan rests. You wear a life jacket on the river. The hike crossings are shallow and the guide goes first. ### Where is pickup? Guanacaste hotel pickup applies as with other tours from the Playas del Coco corridor. Morning times are confirmed after booking based on your hotel location. The time depends on your hotel. You get the window after you book, not a fixed hour for every guest. ### How does pricing work on Adventuro? The from price reflects the operator rate in US dollars for this Bokun product before platform fees shown at checkout. Final totals depend on date, party size, and age categories in Bokun, and your confirmation voucher lists pickup details for the day you selected. The price on the page is the adult rate. Child prices show on the booking form once you pick a date. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/9dba2af7-c521-4545-8904-cb6928c19dbf-1.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
