Amazing Waterfall Experience!

Incredible experience. We started with the lazy river and then hiked to three waterfalls, each were magical, and all three were very different. We saw iguanas, monkeys, owls, and the most beautiful water hidden in the tropics of Costa Rica. Nancy, our guide, was amazing, patient, and full of great information. Very happy with our experience.

Family of four (with teens) first visit to CR

Alejandro was a great guide. Very personable and made our family of four comfortable and feeling well attended to. La Leona was the best out of the three waterfalls but is for adventure seekers only. I would suggest those with any mobility or physical limitations to consider a different trip. Our family included teens but we did see families with kids who were helped along with other tour guides. All in all, a great experience and lifetime memories were made.

Must see waterfalls in Costa Rica

Carlos was an amazing guide! This was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. We did little to no research on the waterfalls we were going to but we were so pleasantly surprised! The first stop Poza Los Coyotes was so beautiful and crystal blue water. We got to do a lazy river experience here, which was a great way to ease into the day. La Leona was definitely the highlight and was quite the adventure to get to but we felt safe the entire time. Make sure to bring water shoes, regular hiking shoes will not cut it! We got lucky as it was not crowded at all. Carlos explained that sometimes you have to wait a very long time to even get to the waterfall. After the hike to La Leona we had the most delicious local Costa Rican meal with rice, beans, chicken, and fried plantain. The final waterfall we visited was very chill and quiet. We saw howler monkeys, iguanas, bats, frogs all long our journey. Each waterfall was extremely unique from the other. Carlos documented our whole journey and made sure to send us all the photos and videos at the end. Would definitely recommend this 8 hour excursion to get a good taste of the waterfalls Costa Rica has to offer!

Exactly the excursion we were looking for in Tamarindo

Our excursion with Carlos was absolutely incredible. The tubing and cliff jumping/rope swinging into the lagoon was so much fun. The second trip which included a jungle hike (we saw howler monkeys, snakes, and iguanas) and swimming through a raging river in a cave to one of the most beautiful waterfalls we’ve ever seen was like nothing we’ve ever done before. Our local lunch was peaceful and delicious before the final hike and massive waterfall. We enjoyed free coconut water and story after story from our guide Carlos, who made sure we had as authentically local of a trip as possible. He also provided water, tea, beer, snacks, and stopped for bathrooms/quick shops whenever we asked. Carlos could not have been a more fun or knowledgeable guide - if you are considering booking this excursion, do it. There is zero chance you will regret it. Pura Vida!
