I can't tell how the... - I can't tell how the actual waterfall hike we booked was, since we were told on the way out that the waterfall was actually quite dried up and gave us an option to go elsewhere which was a longer tour an amazing day out. Guides were great and glad we were given the option!

A little adventure - It was a positive experience. Our guide Isaac was very friendly, it was a pleasure to deal with him, I highly recommend him. It all starts with a short bus ride along the coast with beautiful views of the sea, then a short hike along the river through the forest which ends with a beautiful waterfall and a small lake where you can swim and refresh yourself. Isaac also showed us a viewing platform from which there was a beautiful view of the bay. It was nice to spend time outside of the city or on the beach.

Great way to step away from the city for a few hours! - Great change of pace for a refresh in some amazing clear water. Diego did an amazing job making sure everyone was accounted for, helped crossed the river, take photos and answer questions. Along the trail he showed us different trees and local wildlife. Great day away from the city for a couple of hours! Diego and Isaac were great!

Ask for Victor- He is Amazing - Victor was amazing! It was a very enjoyable hike. It is a little challenging with the rocks. The waterfall is a man made waterfall so that was only let down.
