Rincon Day Pass: Horseback riding, canopy tour, hot springs

Eight cables, one waterslide, and a mud bath in the same afternoon

The Explore Day Pass at Rincon is a full-day activity pass combining horseback riding, an eight-cable canopy tour through Tizate canyon, a 400-meter jungle waterslide, thermal hot springs, a volcanic mud bath, and a garden-to-table lunch with drink and dessert. You move through the activities at your own pace across the 350-acre property next to Rincón de la Vieja National Park. The day runs about six hours and includes free parking and locker access.

The experience

The 400-meter jungle waterslide is the centerpiece (you climb up and zoom down in one rush), but it is only the loudest part of a day built around doing things instead of watching them. Horseback riding takes you through forest trails; the hanging bridge crosses the Tizate River with views below; the canopy tour strings eight cables across the canyon so you move from platform to platform above the treetops. Between the adrenaline moments, the thermal hot springs let you soak in mineral-rich volcanic water, and the mud bath gives your skin a natural treatment. The property sits on fully paved road access and spans over 350 acres of rainforest, so getting there is straightforward.

You set your own rhythm through the day. There is no fixed schedule pushing you from one activity to the next. You choose when to ride, when to zip, when to slide, and when to rest in the springs. A traditional lunch with drink and dessert arrives garden-to-table, and bird watching and waterfall access are woven in as you move through the property. The cultural tour introduces you to Costa Rican traditions without the tour-bus feel. Parking and a locker are included, so you can leave your things secure while you move between activities.

The day works for families with small children: infants and toddlers can ride in a pram or stroller, and specialized infant seats are available. All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible, and transportation options accommodate wheelchairs. The property is suitable for all physical fitness levels, so there is no bar to clear before you book.
