Tour Cascada Nauyaca

You guys are brilliant! What a great trip we had with Paddle9. All aspects of our day with Paddle 9 were first class - pre-event communictions, pick-up and transport, lunch, customer care, the team...I cannot fault any aspect of the event. The care and attention paid to the star of the day (not the waterfalls) but to the wonderful Lola, who was made to feel very special and safe in achieving her amazing climb and leap off the falls. We have been buzzing recounting the story and watching the video for weeks. So to Reece, DK, and Matt - we have taken a little time to get back to you, but we have not forgotten you, and we never will. Special big hugs from Lola.

AMAZING experience. The guides at Paddle 9 are next level great- Alex, Reece, Corry, and Gumi were so kind, so helpful, and made sure we all felt the “Pura Vida.” One of the things we love about traveling is meeting the people and these guys were some of our favorites. Beautiful scenery. Fun experience we won’t forget!

Tour guides were awesome and very knowledgeable. Ismael and Mike did a great job explaining the history of Costa Rica on the way to the falls. And then taking care of the entire family to the beautiful waterfall.

Absolutely fantastic. There were 3 guides plus a photographer and a driver for 10 people. The guides were absolutely amazing—extremely knowledgeable, positive, and friendly. They have this tour down, made everyone feel super safe, and everyone had a blast, no matter age, skill, or fitness level. It’s a little pricey, but absolutely worth every single penny. Transportation, lunch, and a full day of fun and incredible nature is included. 10/10.

We went on this tour yesterday and had a great time! Our guides were Ken and Leandro and they were wonderful! They told us all about Costa Rica and really explained the culture, the geography, wildlife, plants etc. They picked us up and took us on about an hour drive from Manuel Antonio to the falls. They were very patient with us and showed us the amazing Nuayaca waterfall! We got to swim and take pictures and overall, we had a great time! They then provided us a very nice, relaxing lunch and took us back to our hotel. The entire excursion was about 6 hours long from start to finish and we would definitely do this tour again! It is a little expensive but the experience and the memories are worth it. Remember to take bug spray and water shoes for this adventure and be prepared to hike into and out of the falls. Going in was easy but coming out was a little more strenuous but still very doable for most people. Oh and you can jump from the top of the lower waterfall but we did not do this as it looked fun but a little difficult to climb up as the water pressure coming down the falls was quite strong due to the recent heavy rains. Definitely go on this tour if you want a truly memorable Costa Rican waterfall experience!

100% would recommend using Paddle 9 for any activity in Costa Rica that this company offers because of the care and professionalism they use to ensure the day is truly magical. Alex and his team made today one of the absolute best days ever!

We had a fantastic time on the Nauyaca Waterfall Tour last week. Our guides Ken & DK were awesome. They were extremely knowledgeable about the area. My boys opted to climb the waterfall and jump in, and despite the recent rain, I felt like they were safe with Ken & DK. There were a few steep spots on the hike, but my eight year old was able to keep up fine. We would highly recommend this tour. The bus ride from Manuel Antonio was a tad longer than I expected, but it was worth it. The waterfall was gorgeous and I'm glad we opted to go. Also... just be prepared to get the pictures if Matt is your photographer. The candid shots were really good.

An amazing experience! Couldn’t have had a better time! Ismael was so informative, so tuned in, and so passionate about what he does. We appreciate him and what he does and are very thankful for him. He makes you feel like a good friend, and now we would consider him one as well! Thank you for everything and would do this a 100 more times! Pura vida mi amigo! Also, we had Gummy drive us with Ismael and he was great as well! Got us there safe and sound and was a fun ride. Also a delicious meal they fed us with after for lunch, muy rico! Pura vida Pura vida!

If you're in the area, this is a must do trip. Go early before the crowds. Pay for the ride there and back. It's worth it.

Had a great time with Alex and Mambo being our guides. We had a small group and they took great care of us and gave us a lot of information. We didn't jump the falls but got to watch them do their thing. Great experience highly recommend.
