La Leona Waterfall Extreme Hiking tour

This was one of the most beautiful waterfall experience I’ve ever had. Our tour guide Luis was amazing. He was super helpful and fun. Tubing was not included in our package but they do offer those services if needed. It was about 20-25 minutes hike down and up but it was well worth it. Highly recommended.

i made the reservation for la leona hiking and was excited about it and my trip was confirmed .. less than 24 hrs before the trip, they cancelled on me. and i couldnt get my in contact with viator because i was out of the country and the company natives way couldn’t do anything because i didnt book directly with them . i was so disappointed:(

I recommend! Beautiful fall in a cave that is worth a visit. In addition, Wilmar came to Samara to pick us up and we felt safe. He taught us a lot about Costa Rica all the way

Wilmar was a friendly guide and driver! Very knowledgeable of Costa Rica and our planned activities. Would recommend!

We had an amazing time on the La Leona Waterfall Extreme Hiking and Swimming Tour with Guanacaste Adventure & Travel! Our guide, Wilmer, was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He picked us up in Samara and drove us about 2 hours to the start of the hike. The hike itself was stunning and adventurous, and we were joined by another guide who was incredibly friendly and especially great with our kids (ages 7, 10, and 12). They felt safe, engaged, and had an absolute blast! The waterfalls were breathtaking, and swimming through the clear blue water was an unforgettable highlight. After the hike, Wilmer took us to a delicious, traditional Costa Rican lunch at a local restaurant near the falls – such a great touch. On the way back, he even stopped at a souvenir shop and patiently let us browse and shop around. This tour was the perfect mix of adventure, natural beauty, and cultural experience. We highly recommend it to families or anyone looking for a memorable Costa Rican adventure. Huge thanks to Wilmer and the team for making this such a special day!

It was fun with the Waterfall and the hike, but there were things inferred like seeing Big cats, jaguars and hot springs/ mud baths that were not included.

We had an amazing trip from Samara to La Leona Waterfall! Wilmar was a fantastic driver and guide, picking us up right from Samara and sharing tons of local knowledge along the way. He was easy to communicate with and he arrived at the pickup location early. He also advised that we go as early as possible, which was spot on - we were the first at the waterfall and avoided the crowds! The experience was totally worth it, and Wilmar’s guidance and friendliness made it even better. Highly recommend!

Wilmar our tour guide had wonderful communication from the moment I booked our trip. He messaged me immediately after booking to ensure that we knew exactly where we were going and what we were doing. He made sure we also knew what we should bring. He was punctual to meet us in the morning( the only down side was where we picked to stay in Samara so we had to drive 2 hours there and back- which was no one’s fault but our own) We left and drove to the location of where we received a life jacket and were able to freshen up and put our things in a dry bag. We were handed over to another set of tour guides as well.From there, we left and drove Down to the entrance of the trail that would lead us to the waterfall by foot. Once we got to the waterfall it was a short but steep hike to the place where you crossed the water. The water is cold at this time of year that we visited but was very refreshing and felt good after the short walk to get down there. Bear in mind the walk that we had to take was down a step set of steps and up and down over some rocks to the waters edge. We eventually made it to the waterfall and got to try and follow a rope up to a point ( like a competition , trying to reach further than the person that tried it before you) Was very challenging but so fun The current was very strong and the water was high- as the guides were saying. And I’m only 120 lbs so at times I felt like I was about to be swept away. I do feel like you need to be decently athletic and like to hike. I lift weights and have a very active job and I walk a lot so I enjoyed it. But the path had mud, rocks, sticks and close spaces and the water bottom had large rocks and the current was a little difficult at times to get through. But I will say. The guides made me feel very safe and we had so much fun between my southern accent English banter back with his Spanish speaking. ( as I am learning Spanish) After that we went to another location close by and got into the volcanic mud, hot springs and sauna The lunch afterwards was AMAZING. Long story short. Would 100% book this again. We had so much fun and we now have great memories to take back with us

My 16yo son and I had an incredible day with Jorge driving and guiding us along the way! Jorge was awesome and even made some extra stops to show us some awesome sights! He was so knowledgeable and friendly! We even met Wilmer at one point in the day and he was just as nice. The trip was so well planned and executed by them. Our guide on the hike was also awesome and made the hike more challenging and fun since we have experience hiking and are athletic. We can’t wait to come back to Costa Rica and book more excursions with them soon! So many amazing memories!

Great experience with this tour company. Our tour guide name Wilmar is so helpful and very informative. I love the natural spa, foods are good. Would highly recommend it to anyone.😊
