Loved Leona - Such a great Adventure! Our tour guide John was amazing. So good with our 9 year old daughter. We had a great time doing this as a family. Glad we didn’t bring my mom tho as she’s older and not physically fit.

Awesome waterfall hike for the Roaming Renshaw crew - Amazing experience for our large group. Family members ranged from 7 to 71 and everyone was able to complete the hike and see the falls. The guides were informative and helpful and worked great with everyone. We went early and I would recommend doing the same, the trail was getting very busy as we were coming back.

One of the best waterfall hikes we have done - This waterfall tour was well worth it. The waterfall itself isn't the biggest or tallest, but the location of the waterfall is amazing. The journey to the waterfall was the most fun and exciting trek to a waterfall we have done so far. Our Guide Carlos was very knowledgable and friendly. We highly recommend going to La Leona and using Native's Way.

Wonderful time - This was awesome! A somewhat short hike up the river to the waterfall, with several water crossings. This is a combo of hiking and swimming so be prepared! Our guide was very helpful and fun. We had a private guided tour. It was worth it because some of the other groups we saw on the hike had soooo many people that you’d be waiting and slowed down a lot. Interesting fact - the river contains no life because of the mineral levels. So no bugs animals algae etc to worry about! That was good news lol. Also - the cascados for lunch was very yummy! Thank you!

A must do! - We had an excellent hike- the waterfall is definitely flowing- I would recommend this adventure to the hiker/climbers and those that can swim well against strong currents. Very fun! Probably the best of everything we did in Costa Rica- we visited volcanoes, snorkeled, deep sea fished, ATV road to various places, went on a river boat tour through the rainforest, etc. the La Leona waterfall adventure was great- our guide was fantastic, patient for the hubby, and very informative along the way.

Amazing experience! - This is a great tour. Be prepared to swim, but it is so worth it! Even my 80-year-old Mom made it all the way like a champ (but she’s in great shape). Our guide Jason was great and we even got to see some monkeys in the trees at the end. Lunch was very good - classic Costa Rican Cosada plate cooked fresh. Highly recommend!

Incredible Guide, Unforgettable Experience - This tour was absolutely incredible! Our guide Carlos was not only knowledgeable and informative, but also had a great personality that made the experience even more enjoyable. His love for nature was not just appreciated, it was truly admirable. You could tell this wasn't just a job to him; he genuinely loves what he does, and it shines through in every part of the tour. From start to finish, we felt safe, well-guided, and fully engaged. At no point were we disappointed. I can honestly say this was one of the highlights of our trip, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting, or even living in Costa Rica. Don't miss it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Definitely a must go Tour 10/10 - Our guide Daniel was amazing, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. We had an amazing time hiking to the waterfall. We not only learned so much about the plants and animals, but felt safe and taken care of along the way. Also the scenery was incredible!!
