The whole experience was top notch! Kenneth was our driver, tour guide, photographer and ultimate hype man. He was the nicest ever since the moment he picked us up, took us souvenir shopping, was with us every step of the way and his contagious fun energy made us feel even better. Shoutouts to Freddy, Juan, Richard, Jaffe, for making us feel safe and bringing their own fun personalities into it too. Everything went smooth, the drive, the walking, the lunch, the hot springs, the tubing was everything I could ask for and more. Definitely recommend if you want high intensity and a real challenge!

This was overall a great experience. The team (Kenny, Juan, Richard and Jafet) did a great job at making the experience enjoyable and funny. They made sure to keep us apprised during the tour and took our safety seriously. They shared about the forest and the area to provide us with an immersive experience. The meal at lunch was delicious and prompt. Would recommend 10/10. Bring bug spray, water shoes with thick soles, and water.
What a pleasure it was to have Kenneth as our guide on this excursion. He was very kind and treated us so well, like family. Kenneth is the best!!!! Thanks for a unique experience.
Kenneth made our experience spectacular. He was very attentive to what we wanted to experience in each part of the excursion. He went the extra mile in everything. I loved that he did all the activities with us and took so many photos. I had knowledge of the flora and fauna of Costa Rica, so it was a learning experience as well. It was pure adrenaline and we enjoyed it a lot.
What a fun day! Thank you to Kenneth and the rest of the team for guiding us to the waterfall and to the tubing crew for a wonderful adventure down the river! Great time had by all!! Thank you so much!

Our experience hiking to La Leona Waterfall was absolutely unforgettable, a true highlight of our 50th-anniversary celebration! From the moment we met our amazing guide, Noel, we knew we were in for something special. Noel's expertise and enthusiasm truly enhanced every aspect of the adventure. This wasn't just an ordinary hike; it was an exhilarating exploration. We felt the thrill of sliding down a natural rock waterslide and took exhilarating leaps from huge boulders into the refreshing river below. The journey itself was an adventure, as we climbed over and under impressive boulders and navigated fallen trees, adding an element of fun and challenge to the trek. Although parts of the hike were challenging, Noel's exceptional guidance and assistance made it entirely manageable and enjoyable for everyone in our group. Sharing this incredible day with our four children and their spouses made it even more meaningful. The laughter and shared excitement as we navigated the terrain and enjoyed the water activities created memories we will cherish for a lifetime. La Leona Waterfall is a must-do, and if you have the chance to explore it, we wholeheartedly recommend requesting Noel as your guide. His knowledge of the area and his ability to create a fun and safe environment were exceptional. This hike was the perfect blend of natural beauty and adventurous activity, making our 50th anniversary truly spectacular. But the adventure didn't end there! We followed our waterfall trek with an incredible tubing experience down the river, which completely blew us away. While we anticipated a relaxing float, we were thrilled by the unexpected rapids and sudden drops that made the tubing wildly fun and exciting! It was a fantastic contrast to the hike and provided a whole new level of adventure and laughter. What a perfect way to cool off and cap off an already amazing day. We absolutely recommend combining the La Leona Waterfall hike with the river tubing for a full day packed with natural beauty and thrilling activities. With Noel as our guide for the hike, we felt completely taken care of, and the tubing offered an unexpected dose of adrenaline and joy. These two experiences together created memories that will last a lifetime, making our 50th anniversary truly unforgettable. If you're looking for adventure and natural beauty, this combination is an absolute must-do!
Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful and detailed review. We’re truly honored that you chose to celebrate your 50th anniversary with us, and it makes us so happy to know the experience was so memorable. Noel will be incredibly proud to read your kind words and know that his guidance helped make the adventure both fun and safe for your whole family. We’re glad you enjoyed the waterfall hike and the tubing experience—it’s a wonderful combination of adventure and nature. Thank you for trusting us with such a special occasion, and we hope to welcome you back for many more unforgettable moments in Costa Rica. 🌿💦
