Wanderung zum Wasserfall La Leona mit Mittagessen

Meet up spot was easy to find. We were the only two people going at our time. Magda met us there, where we signed waivers and loaded into a truck that drove to the start of the tour. If given the choice, take their truck, it is a rough road. Alejandro was our guide. Speaks English fluently. Took many pictures and videos of us and shared some fun facts, such as the killer tree and banging on the hollow tree. Hike was intermediate difficulty. Alejandro offered a helping hand at slippery spots. River crossings are assisted by a rope. Rock climbs are assisted by short ladders. I wore tennis shoes and my girlfriend wore water shoes; we were both comfortable. The waterfall at the end was a great payoff. We were the only ones there and swam freely around the waterfall. The water was a comfortable temperature and neither of us were cold. The provided lunch offered a choice of meat (pork, beef, or fish) and fried plantain chips, rice, black beans, small salad, and fresh mango juice from the nearby mango trees (which was delicious!). I didn't get any bug bites, but my girlfriend got a few. Would recommend some bug spray beforehand. The hike itself is shaded, so no need for sunblock. Overall, was a very fun experience, and would highly recommend for anybody looking for a more intimate waterfall tour where you can get right up in the waterfall.

Alejandro was a great guide and helped us have an unforgettable experience. Awesome tour, I recommend the river tubing experience as well.

Best excursion we have ever been on! Jason was the best guide ever. He was so nice and he knew so much along the trip and was so helpful! I highly recommend booking!

The absolute best waterfall hike we’ve ever been on!! Our guide Jason was AMAZING!! We will definitely recommend this trip to everyone and will be back to do it again!

Last minute adventure we signed up the day before and lucky for us, we had Jason as our guide and we had all his attention as we were the only 2 people he had for the day! Jason was very knowable, sweet and very kind! He made sure of our safety and let us take our time. Lunch was great and delicious! Awesome experience 😊! Shout out to Jason and Magda 🥰

This was our favorite hike we have ever done! We were in great hands with Jorge G. as our driver. He shared lots of info and was so friendly. Jason was our hike guide and he was so nice and funny. We had a great time and highly recommend doing this excursion!!

I went with my 22 year old son & we had a great time! Nata (Nathaniel) was our guide and he did a fantastic job of giving us information about the area & keeping us safe! We drove ourselves to the meeting point & then got into one of their vehicles which took us to the start of the hike. We hiked for maybe 45 minutes to an hour to get to La Leona. Along the way we had to cross the river a couple of times. You WILL get wet! You have to walk across mid-calf depth water and then chest deep water. You also have to swim the last part to get to the falls. There is a guide rope to help with this. There are also a couple of small ladders to climb along the trail. The waterfall itself is beautiful! & the water is so much cooler than the ocean. After a hike, it was very refreshing! After hiking back, we had an opportunity to change clothes & then had a typical costa-rican lunch - meat, rice, beans, vegetables & salad. In total, since we drove ourselves, it was about 3 hours. It was not crowded at the falls but we passed many groups heading there when we were leaving. On the way out, we got to jump off of a couple of rocks into the deep pools below which was a lot of fun too! I would definitely do this again! My son loved this too!

We had a great experience on our hike to the La Leona Waterfalls. Our guide was wonderful and showed us lots of interesting things along the way!! Would highly recommend Don Rafa Adventure Tours to everyone.

My tour guide David was simply excellent. He challenged me to try exciting adventures and of course the waterfalls were astounding. Your running shoes will be wet from the start, lighter ones are better to swim. Only need a camera for the tour and everything else they tell you to bring will be in a locker at the start of the trail. Have fun, I know I did!

This was one of the best excursions I have ever taken! Victor and Marcos were our guides and they were awesome. Very professional, caring, helpful and just all around great guys! My husband and I are both in our mid 70's and although there were some rocky areas, Victor or Marcos were always there to give a helping hand. Felt very safe. The Falls are spectacular! Can't recommend this enough!!
