Favorite tour we did in Costa Rica! - This was the best tour we went on in Costa Rica. We stayed in the Manuel Antonio/Quepos area. Brayan (our tour guide) was excellent!! He was our favorite. He had a laid back Costa Rica vibe (pura vida) and also was careful and considerate during our entire day. The van was also very comfortable. We had 3 in our party, and there was one other man so we had plenty of room and liked the smaller size tour. This is by far the best waterfall tour you can take imo. Not only was the tour guide great but we had 3 stops on the way to Nauyaca which I thought would be nice for my family, and it didn't disappoint. I didn't want to go straight to the waterfall and back. I love to stop at 'out of the way' unique places and get a feel for the area. The first place we stopped was a smaller waterfall. We were the only ones there and you can swim if you like. We didn't but we took some beautiful pictures. After that, we stopped on a deserted, secluded beach and Brayan and Moises (our driver) gave us coconuts and while we drank coconut water we were able to get in the water a bit with more photo ops. This is the true Costa Rica. The next stop was a 'hippie' type feeling town called Dominical. Brayan was with us while we shopped some local artists. Definitely bring money for this as I found some great things for myself and my other two daughters. I loved the flowing (peacock) pants I bought there. Then, we stopped at a great coffee place in the market and bought some pastries and coffees. A must do as you are now headed to Nauyaca and will not eat for a while. At Nauyaca, there is a walk going down to the falls and it is so beautiful. We spent a lot of time there swimming and more photo ops. Brayan cut up fresh delicious pineapple with butter crackers and we were able to eat that while sitting on the rocks. Beautiful!! Walking back up from the waterfall is quite the trek. We are in our 50's and it was difficult for us. Of course our 14 year old had no problem! I would recommend if you have been working out to do it. If not and in 50's or up it's difficult! When we got to the top, they served us a delicious rice meal. Everything was super relaxing. Not like a typical tour where it is go here, come on we need to move on to the next spot. Brayan is very laid back and quiet when he needs to be and it makes for a beautiful, relaxing day. Shout out to Moises too which was our driver. He was very good and careful as some of the roads are pretty steep and bumpy. I highly recommend this tour!! We went on about 5 other tours and this was by far our favorite!

Fun Family Adventure - This tour was such a great way to see some amazing parts of Manuel Antonio and surrounding areas. The beaches we visited were incredible. Big surf at the morning beach was great to swim in but currents are strong so know your limits there. We took our 3 year old and 8 month old and they loved it. Eddie and Brian were both incredibly safety conscious and fun to be around. Eddie is so knowledgeable both of the history of Costa Rica as well as the plants and animals we saw. He gave us so much detail on the plant life and environmental background. I also can't say enough about how great they were with our kids. They brought fruit down to the waterfall for the everyone to eat and water for us to drink. We stopped in Dominical for coffee and pizza. Then on to our next hike to the main waterfall. Amazing times had by all.

Eddie is the best! - Eddie was phenomenal. We experienced and learned so much in one day at the right pace! So knowledgeable and fun. Our 8 year old is already asking if we can adventure with him again when we come back.

Awe-inspiring waterfall tour led by phenomenal guide - I had a fantastic time on this tour! The waterfalls were absolutely amazing and awe-inspiring. Eddie was a phenomenal guide who made everyone feel at home and safe, from the 7 year old on the trip to the female solo traveler (like me!). I wouldn't have done the jumps without his reassurance and encouragement, and am so glad I did it because it was truly exhilarating. Eddie is also a wonderful conversationalist and shared a lot of interesting information about Costa Rica. Highly recommended!

I was not aware of all... - I was not aware of all the walking and no where did it say we should take some hiking boots or tennis shoes. All it said was wear shoes that can get wet. It was very dangerous of all the rocks and was slippery. The tour guy Javier was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and caring.
