So-o Memorable - Be prepared for the hike in. The trail is rocky, hilly and unimprovedso except where ropes and wooden stairs are necessary.

A Beautiful experience with a knowledgeable local guide - I loved the experience of walking through the river to reach the waterfall. Our guide kept a relaxed pace and took the time to explain the local plants, wildlife, and legends, which made the whole walk even more special. What I appreciated most was knowing that this tour supports a local business creating jobs and helping the community grow.

Beauty, nature and adventure… - We had an amazing experience! Arnondo took great care of us (family of four with two tweens/teens)! Some parts were somewhat challenging but he guided us through and made sure we were all safe. Wear shoes that go well on trails and in water. My daughter’s croc fell off a couple of times in the water, but my son’s were fine - make sure they fit securely. They provide dry bags to keep your items dry. You don’t need to bring much. We were even fine without drinking water. A great adventure with a beautiful destination! Ended with a sense of accomplishment. Highly recommend!

An unforgetable adventure ! - Our tour guide Elias was amazing ! We were a group of 4 adults and 1 child from Québec, Canada and he spoke to us in our language during the entire tour. He brought us to so many special places on our adventure and took such good care of us. His knowledge of the Costa Rican forests is very impressing. We learned alot. After the tour, they had fresh piñas and Mango waiting for us. 100% recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best waterfall tour EVER! - Wow! Such an amazing experience. From start to finish, this hike to the waterfall was well worth every single penny. So much so, two other groups of coworkers booked with company. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable about the area, the growing plants, the history and made sure we felt safe every single step of the way. 1000% would do all over again and of course would recommend!

Fantastic Tour - Leona waterfall hike was perfect. Best part of our week in Costa Rica. Very well organized. Guides provided a wet bag to carry phone and water bottle. Recommend a waterproof case for your phone for pictures so you have it easily accessible. Hot at the beach but it was nice and pleasant and shady for the hike. Highly recommend.

Easy hike and great waterfall! - What a great adventure! Our guide Jason was fabulous. Very knowledgeable, kind and patient. He made sure we were okay and would check to see if we needed to rest. He also taught us some Spanish. The owner was also very nice, he checked on us when we were running a little late and once we arrived, he didn’t rush us. We loved having the waterproof bag, it was awesome. Supporting a local small business was a bonus and highly recommend them for your next adventure. Great day!!
