Much more than just a Waterfall tour ✨ - Anyone visiting Costa Rica must go on this tour!!! It’s so much more than just a waterfall tour. Wilson , our guide , stopped to show us local plants and animals. We learned so much in the jungles. We ate edible plants, we made war paint from leaves full of the iron rich, clay ,soils, we saw toucans, we ate termites… The list goes on and on… We also were fed arroz con pollo and met Cookie and Duke (mountain pups) I will never forget this tour. What a way to end our trip in Costa Rica!!! 🇨🇷 Costa Rica Waterfall Tours.com

Great addition to any visit to Costa Rica. - Will require some physical endurance, especially when raining. A lot of slippery areas. But very fun and the tour guide was knowledgeable . The couple that was also on the tour was awesome and great people. Great choice for sure. Kudos to JOSUE (Josh).

Best waterfall experience in Costa Rica! - Wow, what a great experience we had. Our guide, Josue, was just the best. He went over and above. When my wife lost her eyeglasses he dove to the bottom and found them! We couldn't believe it. We had the falls all to ourselves. An authentic Costa Rican home cooked lunch was included. It was one of the best things that we were able to do while we were visiting Costa Rica. One thing to note is the pick us is at the Jaco Walk plaza and you get picked up at the bus stop area. Pura Vida!

The very definition of pura vida - Wilson picked us up early in the morning and brought us to chirlee’s (sp?)house where we had a delicious traditional Costa Rican breakfast of gallo pinto. From there we hopped in the truck and had a thrilling ride to the top of the mountain. We then hiked to the waterfalls and jumped into the pools. Wilson pointed out many plants and creatures in the forest so it was edifying as well as entertaining. Wilson’s family grows coffee so we also got some of his small batch freshly roasted and ground beans. It was a wonderful morning.

Best Tour Ever. New Adventures. - Lomar and Joaquin were amazing. Excellent tour. I would definitely do it again as long I had the both of them. They made a special trip with my daughter even more special. Lomar helped me overcome my fear of zip lining. Now I can't wait to go again! And he helped me get the most of out the tour even with my bum knee. Joaquin helped so much with the rapelling. They were both so kind, friendly and knowledgeable. They knew so much more about the plants, animals, insects than I ever expected. Thank you both so much for an experience we will always remember with warmth and smiles.
