Hike, waterfall, Hot Springs, mud baths - This was one of the best excursions that my sister and I did in the 17 days that we spent in Costa Rica. Our guide Stevenson was absolutely amazing, super knowledgeable funny as heck, had us laughing all day. He helped with anything that we needed?. We saw so much wildlife, whitehead, monkeys, spider monkeys, the iguanas, snakes, beautiful birds, etc. After the hike, we did the waterfall then off to the mud baths, which both were quite amazing. The waterfall swim was so refreshing. If you get to do this tour, please ask for Stevenson as your guide, you will not be sorry. It was hard to say goodbye to him. He was that wonderful.

Such a fun experience - I had Allman as my guide and let me say he was excellent!! I loved this experience- I think I may even take up horseback riding as a result of this. Allman was so knowledgeable (his degree is ecotourism) and kind and fun. The food was out of this world. I was solo and they made me feel like family. Highly recommend if you love horseback riding , hiking and waterfalls!

Great Time! - An amazing experience! Gabriel and the driver ( we forgot his name, forgive us) showed us great hospitality! Gabriel was very knowledgeable and patient with us! We were able to visit six different waterfalls and had lunch at an amazing buffet.

Beautiful waterfalls - My trip was in early Jan of 2024. My groups' tour guide was Alejandro. He was really fantastic, he knew his stuff about vegetation and nature. You could definitely tell he was passionate about it and was happy to share it with others, which was great to hear and learn about as you walk towards the waterfalls and all. The waterfalls were beautiful. We were able to swim in the first 2 and then the other 2 were just for viewing. The water was a bit cold but was refreshing! Lunch was buffet-style and it was fantastic!

Awesome - A amazing tour! The guide was excellent. He knew the answers to every question about Costa Rica and everything his beautiful country has to offer. He was very helpful and pointed out things that wasn’t mentioned on the site. I highly recommend this tour for anyone planning on seeing Costa Rica

Pass for us - The waterfalls are beautiful, but the hike is rated "challenging" and it is most definitely not challenging. I'm pretty sure anybody that isn't overweight or disabled can do these easy hikes. It is not a continuous hike - they are out and back trips to different locations with a bus ride in between. Our guide was really nice, but we were stuck with a really strange family whose son didn't believe in deodorant. (!) You won't see much natural beauty aside from the waterfalls (which we weren't able to stay at for very long) and we saw zero animals. I'd recommend skipping this one.
