Must Do !

This was an amazing experience! I was a bit concerned because We had 2 young teens, and I don't know how to swim. This did not stop us and I felt safe the whole time. We wore left jackets and the water was never an issue. All 9 of us had the best time, and our guide excellent!! Highly Recommend. The waterfall was nothing less than awesome! Nature at its best.

Fun adventure hike, spectacular waterfall.

We had an amazing time on this adventure. It was myself, my wife, and my 6 year old son. We got to see some wildlife (huge tiger ants, howler monkey) and cool fauna (bead tree and gum tree) that the guide gave us background information on. Our guide Luis couldn't have been friendlier or a better guide. The water was a bit cold but what a treat you are rewarded with when you get to the waterfall. Simply breathtaking.

Excellent Sloth Tour

Orlando was an excellent driver who politely assisted us getting in and out of the van. We felt very safe on our day trip. Jose was a wonderful and very knowledgeable tour guide. His English was excellent and he had a great sense of humour. He made the day most enjoyable.

Operator response

It’s also wonderful to know that Jose made your day enjoyable with his knowledge, great English, and sense of humor. We’ll be sure to share your comments with both of them.

La Leona - amazing adventure!

We had an incredible time on the La Leona adventure hike! I didn’t know what to expect but it was so much fun! Luis was an excellent guide and educated us and made sure we felt safe in the water. We also went a more adventurous route for jumping into the river a couple times. He was very good on ensuring we were comfortable. I highly recommend this tour. I would suggest though individuals are in decent shape as the stairs are quite steep and some might have trouble in the waters a bit in certain areas. Ask the guides or company for more info on this as there might be an easier route as well.

Operator response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! 🌿💧 We’re thrilled to hear that you had such an incredible time on the La Leona Adventure Hike and that it exceeded your expectations. Luis will be very happy to know that his guidance, knowledge, and focus on safety made you feel confident and comfortable throughout the tour — especially during the more adventurous jumps into the river! We truly appreciate you mentioning the physical aspect of the hike. You’re absolutely right: while it’s a lot of fun, it does require a decent level of fitness due to the steep stairs and some sections in the water. As you mentioned, we’re always happy to discuss alternative or easier routes so guests can choose what best suits them. Thank you again for your recommendation and for trusting us with your adventure. We hope to see you again in Costa Rica for another unforgettable experience! 🇨🇷✨

Fantastic experience

The trip is fantastic. Be prepared for the fact that it is physically demanding and that you will have to wander and use your strength to navigate in the water. In turn, it’s all worth it – and perfect for teenagers who need to burn some energy off.
