Tour not to be missed! - This tour was a « wow » day. Damian, Tyler, Alonzo, and Gummi gave us such a gift. Our family of four is composed of various levels of adventurousness and skill level and they were so kind and encouraging, fun and knowledgeable. We had a standout day in paradise, learned lots, and had a great meal. Don’t miss this tour.

DK and Reece were awesome - DK and Reece were awesome tour guides. They gave indepth analysis of the geography and plants. They showed us the safety maneuvers for jumping over the water falls. Fruit snacks and great lunch kept us going strong.

You will dig it! - We loved this trip! Guides were Ismael, Alex and Jordan and I would rate all three as exceptional. Very attentive and fun - Jordan and Ismael absolute beasts with the dives! I would say the waterfalls they selected were all safe for jumping and guides were incredibly attentive and well organized. We loved the lunch and all the info we got as we drove to the various sites. Ismael was a great with sharing all things interesting about the areas we visited and about Costa Rica generally. All considered, it was very impressed with the offering and the team. Exceeded my expectations and would highly recommend. Thanks guys!

Wonderful guides and memorable experience - I spend the day doing the waterfall tour with my family, including young children. The guides (Reece and others) could not have been better. The tour was well staffed (4 guides for 8 people) which made the experience safe and super smooth. The guides could not have been more accommodating. My only regret in CR is not doing more tours with this company.

Definite MUST DO - Our family of 5 (kids ages 17, 19, 22) absolutely LOVED this trip. You can do as little (waterfall wading) or as much (30ft cliff jump) as you want. The meal was by far our favorite of the "lunch provided" type - get the full breaded/fried fish! Corry and the guys were amazing - we were lucky enough to get Corry in our previous day's nature hike and we were thrilled.

All day family waterfall adventure in paradise! - At first I was hesitant to take our party of 8 because of the length of the tour (it is all day) and the fact that we were bringing a 3-year old along and wasn't sure how that would go. I was assured by my travel agent that many 3 year olds have gone on this trip - that helped us decide to go. So, having said that, it was a terrific trip for all of us from pick-up to drop off! The crew of 3 guides and one van operator was professional, friendly, kind, funny, and informative. Mambo did a few fun tricks for us and Alonzo was very helpful and kind with all of us. D.K. was informative and thorough in getting us all ready to jump and be safe. Our group included myself (grandma) and grandpa (in our 60s), our three adult kids, one spouse, an 8- year old and 3 year old (girls). We all had a lot of fun and it wasn't too much for anyone, but had challenge for those who wanted it. The photographer took great pictures and there was no pressure to buy any - but you will want to after you see them! Pura Vida!

Waterfall Adventures with a Family - One of the best tour guide experiences we have ever had! Ken, Matt & Hector were fantastic guides from the start. They kept us moving with comfort from place to place, super organized, Ken provided us with interesting and informative Costa Rican facts and stories keeping us engaged through the rides. We had a smooth experience with our 6 year old in tow, Matt & Ken made sure we were safe and our son felt comfortable trying daring jumps. We would recommend Paddle 9 again & again! Thank you for a memorable experience.

Best all day excursion! - We had the best day! Our tour guides — Damian, Corry, Mya, and Lorraine — were exceptional. They explained everything so clearly and helped everyone feel safe and comfortable the entire time. During the drive to the waterfalls, they shared so much interesting information about Costa Rica and the surrounding area. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly focused on safety. We were nervous about the excursion at first, but they made the experience absolutely amazing! We also loved the part where we got to watch them dive— it was such a fun highlight of the trip! Highly recommend!
