A Natural,Beautiful and Immersive Costa Rica Jungle Experience

I usually don't write reviews, but our experience with Costa Rica Waterfall Tours was so fantastic, I had to share. Our guide, Lamar, was funny, energetic, knowledgeable, and took extra time during our drive and hike to the waterfalls to get to know our group and cater to our interests. We had a number of birders and Lamar figured that out quickly and really knew his stuff. We saw Macaws, Toucans and various other birds on the tour, in addition to monkeys, snakes, dart frogs, and incredible plant and insect species. The hike was just enough to get your blood flowing and very beautiful. The falls were beautiful, refreshing and the jumps off of the 3M and 10M platforms was exhilarating - - maybe we'll try the 15+M platform next time. Thank you for the wonderful experience and lifelong memories Costa Rica Waterfall Tours (and Lamar)!!!

Beautiful waterfall experience near Jaco!

We had an awesome tour with Lamor and Wilson as our guides. The waterfalls were so fun to jump in and our guides were a wealth of information and showed us so many things from birds and plants to everything else in the area. What we learned was so interesting and we had a great time!

Much more than just a Waterfall tour ✨

Anyone visiting Costa Rica must go on this tour!!! It’s so much more than just a waterfall tour. Wilson , our guide , stopped to show us local plants and animals. We learned so much in the jungles. We ate edible plants, we made war paint from leaves full of the iron rich, clay ,soils, we saw toucans, we ate termites… The list goes on and on… We also were fed arroz con pollo and met Cookie and Duke (mountain pups) I will never forget this tour. What a way to end our trip in Costa Rica!!! 🇨🇷 Costa Rica Waterfall Tours.com

Great addition to any visit to Costa Rica.

Will require some physical endurance, especially when raining. A lot of slippery areas. But very fun and the tour guide was knowledgeable . The couple that was also on the tour was awesome and great people. Great choice for sure. Kudos to JOSUE (Josh).

Best waterfall experience in Costa Rica!

Wow, what a great experience we had. Our guide, Josue, was just the best. He went over and above. When my wife lost her eyeglasses he dove to the bottom and found them! We couldn't believe it. We had the falls all to ourselves. An authentic Costa Rican home cooked lunch was included. It was one of the best things that we were able to do while we were visiting Costa Rica. One thing to note is the pick us is at the Jaco Walk plaza and you get picked up at the bus stop area. Pura Vida!

The very definition of pura vida

Wilson picked us up early in the morning and brought us to chirlee’s (sp?)house where we had a delicious traditional Costa Rican breakfast of gallo pinto. From there we hopped in the truck and had a thrilling ride to the top of the mountain. We then hiked to the waterfalls and jumped into the pools. Wilson pointed out many plants and creatures in the forest so it was edifying as well as entertaining. Wilson’s family grows coffee so we also got some of his small batch freshly roasted and ground beans. It was a wonderful morning.
