Fun and safety-minded guides in beautiful natural setting - The waterfall tour was great! Alex and DK are great guides who lead with fun and safety in mind at all times. They provided great info about the area during the drive to Nauyaca Waterfall (upper and lower). They helped us hike safely to the upper and lower falls and made sure we could jump in from the height we chose. Some chose not to and that was good too. Chill and fun energy throughout. And the lunch was delicious and much needed at the end. I would recommend to anyone who loves water and a good hike.

Amazing experience! - We had an amazing experience at the Nauyaca waterfalls! Matt, Ismael, and Mambo were all extremely funny, caring, and helpful every step of the way. Both of my parents can’t swim and have some trouble hiking, and Matt did everything in his power to make it doable and easier for them; they left saying the waterfalls was the highlight of their trip! Couldn’t recommend more, this experience is beyond worth it!!

Amazing Experience! - Excellent experience! We had an amazing time with Ismael, Matteo and Mambo. They were very professional, funny, knowledgeable, and very aware of our safety to ensure we had a great time. We learned a lot about biodiversity and the waterfall while enjoying the view and water. Highly recommend!

Incredible, fun, sooo worth it! - So glad we did this! SO much fun!! The team was incredible- Pretty sure Gummi is straight out of NASCAR with his driving skills, Roberto could replace Siri, Maya catches it all with a click, and Antonio and Mike complete the party! Seriously, Roberto was so engaging and made Costa Rica come alive on the one hour drive. Maya photos were a delight, and between Roberto, Mike and Antonio-fun and safety went hand in hand. We were picked up at our hotel, drove an hour to the first top where we had blackberry pineapple lemonade and changed into swimwear. Jumped in a trailer pulled by a tractor to the hiking start point. We enjoyed fresh fruit at the first waterfall with clay face masks (optional and fun!), and the second waterfall was larger and so beautiful! Finishes the day with a delicious lunch. Bring shoes you can hike and get wet in. Pura Vida!

Recommend!! - Absolutely loves the experience. Everyone was so kind. Absolutely terrible with remembering names so I can't give direct shout outs but I loved everything. Everyone was very encouraging, happy and kind. You could feel how much they loved doing their jobs. I felt very safe during the waterfall jump, hike, etc., as they gave alot of instructions and led us through things step by step. Also loved the inclusion of the natural face mask from mother earth herself. Highly recommend!

Beyond amazing!!!! Highly recommended - Beyond incredible - the crew was so professional. Experts and top of the line at their craft. I felt so comfortable In Their hands- literally in their hands assisting me up the face of the waterfall for my first 30’ cliff jump. I was able to overcome my fear (took 2 full min) but Ismeal and Ken and mumba were spectacular. “Confidence and Commitment!” I highly recommend this company and crew.

Stellar Crew - We had some great tour guides during our week long stay, but Roberto and Damien were by far the best. Very knowledgeable, passionate, and skilled. They are really good dudes you'd want to just hang out with. Best birthday I've ever had, thats for sure.
