We had an amazing and beautiful time! Jonathan & Bernie were great guides, very knowledgeable and welcoming, and they made the hike very fun! We saw monkeys along the tour and absolutely loved the waters! 10/10 recommend!
Wear good shoes/ sneakers. You are hiking on some wet rocks. Water is so clean and refreshing. Highly recommended.
Amazing experience! Our guide Jonathan was super knowledgeable and experienced! Made our trip super memorable! You can’t go wrong with this tour company! Pura Vida my friends!
The highlight of our vacation I can not recommend anything more if you vacation in Costa Rica. The guides were amazing constantly looking for wild life and share facts about Costa Rica. 11/10 I recommend for everyone.
The instructional video before the hike was helpful. The guide was patient and accommodating based on our physical abilities and fears. We were given path options, which we loved, and we enjoyed the hike as well as the waterfalls. We enjoyed the guides knowledge of the foliage and the little stops to explain and show us insects, bats, cultural references, etc. We got more than just a stop to the waterfall and back. It was an experience to be remembered. The lunch/snack is just fresh cut fruit afterwards so come fed. If you can request a tour guide ask for Pablo…he’s amazing, funny and friendly!!
An amazing time with a safe and fun instructor. I would highly recommend this tour to any one looking for a great time seeing some amazing sights
We had so much fun ! It was so safe and Johnathan was an amazing tour guide! Whenever I come back I will be booking this itinerary again
We had the BEST time! Stunning views, exciting climbs and swimming. Incredible customer service. We will absolutely be back!
An absolutely amazing experience, highly recommended. The guide was really good with the kids and helped explain about the culture of CR as we went along
