Mau at extreme MR tour of falls is great!
Mau at extreme MR tooth great care of during our hike up to the falls. He even made me a walking stick! For some basic non-hikers it was a great tour. And the restaurant he took us too for lunch was delicious and everything homemade! Highly recommend this trip especially if you are better prepared than we were to hike 3.5 kilometers. There was an option to get a ride back so we didn’t go the full 7 kilometers. Thanks Mau at extreme Mr for being awesome!!!!

Nauyaca Falls Tour
We had an incredible experience visiting Nauyaca Waterfalls with Extreme M&R Tours and our guides, Mauricio and his sister. From the very beginning, Mau was extremely knowledgeable and gave us a fascinating look into Costa Rican culture, history, and the natural environment. On the walk to the falls, he pointed out different plants, insects, and other interesting details that we would have completely missed on our own. We learned so much about Costa Rica while enjoying his great sense of humor and easygoing personality, which kept the experience fun and relaxed.
And then there are the waterfalls themselves—they were absolutely breathtaking! Swimming in the natural pools, climbing up the waterfall, and jumping off the rocks made for an unforgettable adventure. It was the perfect combination of learning, adventure, and fun.
We highly recommend Extreme M&R Tours, especially Mauricio and Sara, for anyone looking to experience Nauyaca Waterfalls. Their knowledge, enthusiasm, and attention to the group made an already beautiful destination even more special.

Book it! You won’t regret it!
What a great experience! I was picked up from my hotel. We were a small group and our guide was really knowledgeable. He pointed out different plants/trees and provided information I had no knowledge of. He also gave the group information about plantations and history of the area. The walk to the waterfalls was enjoyable and the waterfalls were breathtaking! After swimming in the water, we enjoyed some delicious fruits, and on our drive back, we stopped for a delicious traditional meal. I recommend this company to everyone who is looking to have a great experience. Thank you again!

Amazing hike to Nauyaca!!!
This was a must do experience for us. Words cannot describe the beauty of the falls. The cool water swim at the bottom was so refreshing and the homemade lunch afterwards was so delicious! Our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable, and he communicated extremely well through WhatsApp. We got an excellent workout, too! Be prepared for a VERY physical hike. It’s a hot and long, steep climb to the falls. This is not a hike for a beginner, for sure! Be sure to wear comfy supportive shoes and clothes that wick away sweat. Take lots of sunscreen, too! But if you’re up for the challenge, the rewards are worth it!

Best excursion in Costa Rica.
What an amazing day! This is the highlight of my trip. The guide was awesome! He did a great job explaining so many different elements of Costa Rica. I learned so much. The lunch at the co-op was fantastic. Never will you get this experience at any restaurant, true Costa Rican meal.

Amazing day!
This was a phenomenal experience! I was somewhat hesitant to book given the low number of reviews but this ended up being an absolutely magical day. We were picked up at our hotel in Parrita which was outside the range of most other similar tours. That alone was awesome. The two guides were so accommodative to younger kids who were hot and miserable while hiking and even had the insight to start the hike a little closer to the falls then typical which was so appreciated. But even with the heat, the pay off of the beautiful falls and being able to swim for pretty much as long as you want with fresh fruit provided made it beyond worth it. The authentic meal at a local co-op on the way back was the cherry on top and literally off the beaten path. They patiently waited at multiple bathroom stops as well. Could not recommend this tour group enough, which needs much more recognition on viator!

Off the beaten path
Driver/guide took time to point out flora and fauna that made the hike a pleasure. The place we ate lunch was well off the beaten path and as authentic as it gets
