Amazing waterfall and beach tour! - Our family group of 4 couples had a great day adventure with our guides Eddie, Rahul, and Alex from Bright Adventures Costa Rica. We wrapped up the day at Nauyaca waterfall park, but we started with a quick stop at a small waterfall on a river, then stopped for a while at an amazing, secluded beach with great surf. We also had a chance to stop at a cafe and local shopping street where we had some great coffee and found some perfect souvenirs. The second half day was at Nauyaca. There was quite a hike down to the waterfall, but when we arrived the scene was incredible. The huge multi-level waterfall is awesome. Most of our group climbed to a ledge on the waterfall and jumped in. Our bravest member climbed much higher with Rahul's help and jumped from about 60 feet. Eddie captured the whole day on his camera. Thanks for an amazing day!

Waterfall full day - Great all around experience for an all day trip! Guides were helpful, knowledgeable and made sure we had plenty of stops for good food, coffee and bathrooms. The waterfall was breathtaking and the multiple other stops gave us a flavor of CR life. I can’t wait to see the photos the guides took to share with my family. Thanks Eddie and crew!!

Beautiful & an unexpected workout! - Andy with Bright Adventures was so good! He made the experience educational, fun and personable. We weren’t expecting the workout but it was all worth it. And we even got up close to a sloth - finally after day 4 in Costa Rica. It was the cherry on top for us on this tour. Andy and his driver were the best & lunch was delicious! Highly recommend.

Great Day Trip - Eddie and Julian were fantastic! They gave us some local history and cultural knowledge as well as some beautiful stops at Portolon, Playa Linda, and Nauyaca Waterfalls. It is a bit of a mountainous drive to get to Nauyaca; we were very glad to have our own resident experts to lead the way. Beautiful scenery, great tour. Wear waterproof hiking shoes to make the experience easier on your legs and feet.
