Water Tubing and Hot Springs Eco Adventure at Rincon de la Vieja from Samara

Be ready for early morning pickup at your Sámara hotel, between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. Bring comfortable clothing, a swimsuit, insect repellent, sunscreen, a towel, and comfortable walking shoes. Meet your guide and group, then climb in to a comfortable tour vehicle and take off for the Blue River Resort, about 3 hours' drive away. 

Around 10 a.m., arrive at the resort, where you'll be welcomed with a provided cocktail. Use the changing area and lockers to change into gear for your river tubing adventure before hopping back in the van for a short ride to the Rio Azul launch point.

Arrive at the launch point and get a brief orientation and safety demonstration. Slide, bump & spin along white water and adrenaline pumping chutes, around bends and through calm water down the river. Travel through canyons and thick greenery, listening to the sounds of the river accompanied by howler monkeys, insects and birds. 

Return to the resort around 1:30 p.m., where you will refuel with a provided lunch before embarking on your afternoon activities. Walk through the lush tropical gardens, swim and soak in the five pools, check out the hot mineral springs, or visit the butterfly garden to meet the resident donkeys and miniature horses. Opt to sign up for a treatment at the spa (additional cost) before departing back to your hotel around 4 p.m.
