One Day · Two Contrasting Experiences
Adventure First. Waterfall Relaxation After.
The strength of this Double Combo is the contrast: an active whitewater morning followed by time to enjoy one of Guanacaste's best-known waterfall settings.

Why Combine Both Experiences with BestToursCR?
The attractions create the memories. BestToursCR adds the private transportation, sequencing and service-level choices that make the full day easier to plan.
Two in OneOne Coordinated Adventure Day
Instead of dedicating separate vacation days to rafting and the waterfall, this itinerary connects both experiences with lunch and return logistics already organized.
Private TransportPrivate Hotel Transportation
All four service levels keep the hotel transportation private. What changes is the vehicle/service level and whether the activity format at the tour location is private or shared.
Local CoordinationLess Logistics to Manage
BestToursCR coordinates pickup, rafting, lunch, the waterfall visit and return timing so your group can focus on the experience rather than stitching the day together.
Choose the itinerary first. Then choose how you want to travel.
Gold, Silver, Bronze and Corporate let you keep the same core Double Combo while selecting the level of transportation, privacy and group logistics that fits your party.
