Highlights
- Costa Rica Waterfall Tours - After a short drive from Jaco beach you will arrive at our base camp and let’s hop in our 4×4 safari vehicles and drive up the mountain over 1000’ to get to our private reserve. Your guide will stop along the way to point out interesting flora and fauna and the incredible views of the ocean and countryside.
After a short (5 minute) downhill hike we will start our adventure through the river. We will hike up the river using trails and bridges that criss-cross the river allowing us to enjoy multiple smaller, interactive waterfalls and natural pools. There are 4 different swimming holes and many waterfalls to get under. These natural pools will invite you to swim in the fresh mountain spring water and submerge under the falls for an invigorating massage. For the more adventurous there are a couple of places you can jump into the pools from 4’ and up to 25’! When you are done we have the 10 minute hike back to the truck. During the entire tour we are totally surrounded by beautiful Costa Rica virgin rain forest.
Bring your camera to capture all your amazing experiences and your guide will keep it in a dry bag and make sure it stays safe!

Fav part of trip! - Amazing time! Our guides were so fun and knowledgeable. The food was amazing and everything felt local and unique. The waterfalls were on private land which meant it was just ours to enjoy. Highly recommend!

What Costa Rica is all about. - Really, what Costa Rica is all about. The trip started with a small Costa Rican breakfast, freshly prepared by a local family. Joaquin, then took us up the mountain on a 4 wheel truck with an observation platform on the back. We were able to see all kinds of wildlife and vegetation indigenous to the area. We then hiked to the series of waterfalls. Great pictures and great fun. Joaquin was truly representative of almost all of the local Ticos that we met, just wonderful, kind people with a great sense of humor.

Do this trip! You will love it. - We loved the adventure. The guides Wilson and Lomar were amazing. Anyone can do this once in a lifetime experience. We had my 84 year old mother and she did fine. The lunch was delicious. So fresh and tasty. The hike to the waterfall was interesting with so many things to see and the guides provided a lot of great naturalist information. The waterfalls were so refreshing. The pictures we took are so breath taking. And the cliff jumping was a key highlight. Do this trip! You will love it.

Best adventure on my trip! - This was a fantastic hike. Easy to moderate difficulty. Guide was very personable and informative. A meal came with the hike. The waterfalls were fantastic. We were able to swim in all of them. They became deeper the higher we went. The finale was a 30 foot jump into a pool at the bottom of a waterfall. Exillerating. I would do it again and recommend it to others.

Best excursion ever!! - This experience was awesome!!! Our tour guides were knowledgeable, kept us safe and most importantly so fun!! We got a delicious home cooked lunch! We got to learn so much about birds and animals during the hike portion of the tour and had a blast in the waterfalls!! The guides were awesome with taking photos and making sure we had the best time. We left a phone behind in the van after our drop off and the tour guides were over the top helpful and drove the phone back to us once it was found! 10 out of 10 recommend this experience, best thing we did in Costa Rica!!
