Challenging, fun adventure! - An incredible experience! Pablo and Jefferson were the best. We were well taken care of and they were very patient with the slower ones in the group. One thing I would note is that it was much more difficult of a hike than I expected. There were several places where the only way forward was on ropes, climbing up the side of a waterfall. Really fun but challenging. Also you will get completely soaked at least up to chest level whether you "swim" or not, as you will be walking through streams. The views, swimming, jungle, lunch - all amazing. Highly recommend.

Amazing - Great hike! Definitely a little challenging, but the waterfalls made it worth it. Our guide was super knowledgeable about the plants, animals, insects. We even got to eat some plants too! Also, if you’re planning doing this tour (which you should), wear some sort of hiking shoe. DO NOT WEAR SANDALS OR FLIP FLOPS. 10/10 would do again!

Great experience! - Me and my partner had an incredible experience. The hiking and waterfalls were absolutely amazing! There was supposed to be a total of 7 of us on this experience, but the other guests were late, so it was just me and my partner. I recommend wearing water shoes or shoes you don't care about getting wet. Also recommend having a bag that can get wet too. The lunch that's included was very, very, very good! The tour guides were super nice and cool.

Great experience! - We loved this experience so much we came back and did it again 1 year later. We were hoping to have Pablo as our guide again and we were very excited when he was! The whole thing is incredible from the hike to the food at the end. Highly recommend.

Best Tour in Jaco!! - Pablo was a great tour guide! He took his time to ensure safety on the hike, share fun facts with us, and let us enjoy each waterfall. I highly recommend this tour, it was by far my favorite tour while in Costa Rica. Please keep in mind it is a 4 mile hike going up and then coming back down, so it can be challenging for some people.

I was expecting amazing.... It was much better than that - This was one of my most unexpected days on my trip. It was incredible and beautiful and memorable! Just a wonderful day. I'd like to share a few things - it's not 2.5 hours. It was more like 4.5 hours. Not complaining! I loved every single minute! Prepare to get wet! We climbed, hiked, swam in rivers, showered in waterfalls! It was amazing! I'd give them 10 stars if I could

Challenging and rewarding hike! - We are a family of 3 active individuals (parents and one teen) there was one other individual on the hike with us and he was an active person, too. This is a challenging hike--all agreed on that. You need decent shoes that you can get wet. Take minimal stuff with you and expect it to get wet. We had a great time hiking with our guide Sebastian. He was encouraging when the ropes that one needs to use to hike up rocks with no hiking path were a challenge. It was a fun trip that we'd recommend to families who are active. Little kids aren't likely to be up to the challenge of the whole hike. We were happy to take a break and have a snack of fruit provided by guide at one of the waterfalls. We were also very happy with the casado lunch and beverage provided afterwards! Do not book this hike if you are looking for a relaxing and low-key hike to waterfalls, this is an active adventure!

Extreme fun! - Pablo and Jefferson, our guides, were excellent. The hike is a bit strenuous, but it’s broken up with dips in pools fed by waterfalls so you can cool off. Quite the adventure, and not for the faint of heart, and we loved it! It was my wife, me and our 13-year-old son and our 11-year-old daughter and they had no problem navigating the hike. The food at the local restaurant afterwards was delightful.
