What to expect

This tour combines two of Costa Rica's national treasures – the wildlife of the River Tempisque and rum. You'll cruise the river, tour the Hacienda el Viejo estate and round off with a rum-tasting session on this full-day experience.

After arriving at the eco-friendly Hacienda el Viejo estate, you'll kick off the adventure with a boat trip along the River Tempisque. Observe well-preserved fauna such as spoon roses or the mythical Jabiru stork as well as crocodiles or white capuchin monkeys.

Then, spend the rest of the day on an exclusive rum tour, where you can tour the rick house and taste aged Sabandi rum from its oak barrels.

    The trip down the river was very interesting and our guide was very informative. We made our own rum which we thought was great. Our only small point is we would have liked a little time in the souvenir shop but weren't really given the opportunity

    I thought there should have been a bit more explanation about the day, maybe mention that the shop we saw wouldn’t be open after the rum tour or that we wouldn’t be stopping by the Hacienda at the end of the tour

    The boat tour was excellent, saw lots of wildlife and tour guide was knowledgeable on the local area. The rum tour was interesting, the guide was very informative and enjoyed being able to flavour our own rums.

    Best trip we have done by far. Both the boat and rum tour were great. Loads to see on the river and the rum tour was great too coming away with our own blended rum. Great stop before the river trip for the loo and drink
