This was an amazing and very educational tour thanks to our tour guide Mambo. Not to mention the views of the waterfalls and beaches were stunning! Mambo was as eager to teach us about Costa Rican culture as he was to show us amazing views! One thing that stood out about Mambo was he turned a question I had into an act of kindness that wasn’t included as part of the tour. I asked him how do you tell if a coconut that has fallen from the tree is good to eat or not. Not only did he educate me and answer my question, he found the right one and prepared it so that we could enjoy the coconut water. If you are reading this I would highly recommend that you request Mambo as your guide. Also I must say, our safety was his top priority. He literally walked us through everything from the jumps at the waterfalls to how and why it was important to receive help from him with a forearm grab instead of hand to hand help. It’s the little things and Mambo was great!
This trip was amazing, by far my favourite excursion I did in Costa Rica. An absolute must do and worth the money. Firstly, we visited a smaller waterfall to paddle in, if you’re able, definitely consider jumping in. It was so much fun and I’m glad I did it. Make sure you’re ready with swimming costumes etc. Then, we went to the beach which was gorgeous. Finally, we went to Nauyaca Waterfalls which was amazing, the swimming was lovely and more jumping in from the falls. It was so much fun but only do what you’re comfortable with. The rocks are very slippy so be careful. The day was brilliantly orchestrated by our guide, Mambo. He was so informative and knowledgeable about the area and the different places we visited. He was very kind and patient with the group and brilliant at ensuring our safety - we trusted him implicitly. Mambo really was an outstanding guide and made the experience so much fun. Our driver Julian was wonderful too. The lunch we had was delicious.
You cannot miss it because you will learn and have fun in addition to enjoying wonderful views
Ian (guide) and Julian (driver) were fantastic! I can't say enough about this tour. The waterfalls were beautiful and the whole day flew by. Ian was incredibly knowledgeable while keeping everything relaxed and engaging for the kids. I was so impressed with how he ensured our kids were safe around the waterfalls and made sure they were smiling throughout the day. I highly recommend this tour and Ian!!
Ian was truly the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica! Our tour to Nauyaca Waterfalls was absolutely incredible, and so much of that was thanks to him. From the moment we met him, Ian was warm, personable, kind, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty of Costa Rica. He was incredibly informative, teaching us so much about the local wildlife, culture, and the surrounding area, while always making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. He went above and beyond to make the experience memorable, and his enthusiasm was contagious. A day spent with Ian as your tour guide is a wonderful day. He has an amazing way of making you feel like you're exploring with a friend rather than just taking a tour. Thanks to him, our visit to Nauyaca Waterfalls became one of our favorite memories of the entire trip. We can't recommend Ian highly enough. If you're visiting Costa Rica and have the chance to tour with him, don't hesitate, you'll have an unforgettable experience!
Such a fun day! The waterfalls, beach, and mini stops were all gorgeous and exciting! Our tour guides Ian, Kian, and Julian really made the trip fun and exciting. Ian was enthusiastic, charismatic, helpful and entertaining. Both him and Kian really were accommodating and helpful as I had a sprained ankle at the time. Also, I loved that every time someone came on the shuttle Ian reintroduced everyone to each other. This was great because it made us all feel connected right from the start. Thanks for a great adventure!
Guides Ian and Kian were incredible. They made us feel safe and told so many facts as we were on the journey. This tour was amazing!! They take such good care of you and make sure you are having fun the whole time. Ian did a great job explaining every step of the journey and what to bring when. The lunch before the waterfall was so good too :) amazing amazing amazing! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to experience the beauty of Costa Rica!
Ian, Kian, and Julian were excellent tour guides who took great care of our group and made the whole day very enjoyable! All of the sites we visited were beautiful. Everything down to the pick up from our Air bnb, to the delicious lunch, and all the beautiful views made this tour our favorite day while visiting! Would HIGHLY recommend!
We had a great time! We were the only people on the tour, so it felt like a private tour. We stopped at a brash and saw a sloth, then went to Nauyaca waterfall. Our guide was Andy and he was awesome and took us to 3 viewpoints. We were able to soak in the water at 2 of the locations. He also applied a clay mask on each of us. It was a lot of fun. The lunch that was provided was very good. From there, we stopped at a smaller waterfall and some people were cliff jumping. We did the easiest jump and it was fun. We would totally do this again!
This was such a fun day! We loved all the components of this day from the first waterfall and beach trip to the coffee shop and lunch. Of course the highlight was the Nauyaca Waterfall. What a beautiful spot. Ian was a fantastic guide. I would 100% go on another tour with this team.
