Private Waterfall Tour and River Hike in La Leona Waterfall
Description
Tis waterfall tour is a perfect adventure for nature enthusiasts and those looking to experience the untouched beauty of the Costa Rican Tropical Forest. This exciting journey combines hiking through dense jungle, river exploration, and the opportunity to swim in a hidden and awe-inspiring waterfall. La Leona is a unique deep blue waterfall rooted between two canyons. It’s one of the few, if not the only, one in Costa Rica with this characteristic. Its water comes from the “white river” or “Rio Blanco” that finds its source in the skirts of the Volcano Rincon de la Vieja. The color of the water is just amazing, between blue and turquoise, which is explained by the presence of sulfur. It’s definitely a must in this area!

Carlos and Kevin were a very knowledge and good guide!
Easy hike in the jungle. You will get wet on the hike with all the river crossings and such. Waterfall is amazin
While the waterfalls are absolutely stunning, I want to share a heads-up for anyone with mobility concerns. I recently had knee surgery (10 weeks ago) so we called ahead to ask about the terrain. We were told it would be quite easy, but just 20 steps into the downhill trek, I realized it was much more challenging than described. While the guides are encouraging, I felt there was a bit of a disconnect between their "keep going" attitude and the actual physical difficulty of the trail. I decided to stop at the first beautiful swimming hole, which was the right call for me—the rest of my group mentioned the next 150-200 yards were quite rugged and challenging. It’s a gorgeous spot, but please trust your instincts regarding your physical limits!
Hello Tina, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the waterfalls beautiful. However, after carefully reviewing all of our reservations and communications, we are unable to locate any booking under your name or matching the situation described. Additionally, the terrain mentioned, including the reference to steps, does not align with the access route used in our private La Leona Waterfall tour. As there are multiple operators offering similar experiences in this area, it is possible this review may have been intended for a different company. If you believe you toured with us, we would sincerely appreciate the opportunity to verify your booking details and clarify any confusion. Kind regards, The Best Day Ever! Costa Rica Team
Our guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. Pablo was a wealth of knowledge! Thanks for a wonderful day!
This is our third time using Ever and it’s been perfect every time. He transported us nice vans. And he’s with you every step of the way cracking jokes and keeping spirits high. Can’t wait to come back to Costa Rica and have him show us more.
Ever is the best! He did exactly what we asked, and took us on a three day adventure through the forest, to waterfalls, jet, skis, and rafting! He really made our trip special and we can’t wait to go back! Costa Rica is very beautiful and the people are all happy and nice. It’s one of our favorite countries to visit.
