Pristine River adventure - Amazing adventure. This is my new must-do for older kids, teens, anyone adventurous. We hiked our way up a river passing through 8 or 10 waterfalls along the way. Each one varies in height and pool size. Note, you are walking up and through a river, swimming across small pools and climbing over rocks. It is super fun and totally worth it but could be hard for some people. It’s worth noting you hike out from your meeting point (if you don’t do the 4x4) and the hike starts at smaller pools which get progressively bigger. If I had younger kids, they would have been happy all day at one of the first pools. You will get wet. Wear sneakers. Leave extra clothes in car. Don’t bother with a towel or much of anything else. Maybe pack a granola bar. We didn’t need sunscreen or repellent as the air was fresh from running water and under trees. Jorge was a great guide. I’ll be coming back again for sure. Oh, I added a massage after our adventure at nearby Nazareth Spa. It is along the same river and it was a perfect compliment to the hike. The spa is located at the very picturesque Hotel Pumillo which looked inviting. Loved the pool overlooking the river and forest.

Such a beautiful experience ! - Me, my husband , and my very adventurous 5 year old can not stop talking about this amazing waterfall hike! Everyone was so friendly and we learned so much about wildlife, plants, and culture in Costa Rica! I would recommend this to anyone who loves to sight see and explore

Awesome experience - This was a great experience! We learned alot and had a personalized experience! Due to the rain we had to hike it but it was worth burning the extra calories! Only recommendation IF you have to hike make sure you have decent soled shoes or the rocks might take you out 😂

MUST DO MUST READ👈🇨🇷 - This excursion was an absolutely INCREDIBLE ADVENTURE. Ray & Jorge were the nicest and kindest tour guides we’ve met in Costa Rica. When you book this tour be ready to expect a once in a lifetime experience. Ray will drive you on a roller coaster like off roading adventure through creek beds and rivers, through the tress and the jungle to the start of your hike. Jorge will then escort you through the jungle, up and down the jungle hills over and under trees. He will open up your perspective to the beautiful nature they live with here. Jorge explained his philosophy on life and the history of Jaco all while you hike up this mountain stopping along the way and playing in waterfalls. As you and your friends enjoy the scenery, and the waterfalls, Jorge is taking beautiful candid pictures of your experience allowing you to enjoy the moment without distraction. He will share a meal with you at your halfway point as he tells you stories of their life there. As you hike the trails Jorge will explain the native wildlife and plant life. Explaining what certain animals, insects and plants are used for in their indigenous culture as well as in mainstream culture. This adventure was an absolute GEM in Jaco and if you are reading this you MUST do it. These people are some of the kindest individuals ever and embody the meaning of “Pura Vida”, they live one with nature, protecting and advocating for the land. Once you are finished you will feel privileged to have met them and shared this beautiful place with them.

Lots of fun - The tour guides were the best. Kind of misleading because you really need to be in shape for this. If you don't like climbing, this isn't for you. Otherwise we had a blast.

Wowweee - What an absolutely awesome experience. Breathtaking. The guides are the absolute best. Couldn't ask for a better adventure. You do need to be in shape for this adventure though.

Great Tour - Our guides were extremely nice and helpful. We especially enjoyed the information about the local fauna they gave us along the way! The hike was a little bit more difficult than we expected but they helped us each step of the way!

Amazing tour with extremely friendly guide!!!! - We had a truly wonderful time!!!!! We saw beautiful waterfalls, fauna, and even a non-venomous snake!!! We had fun swimming in the natural spring-fed pools, and the weather was perfect!!! Take swimsuit, good shoes, and camera.

Having done dozens of tours all over the world, this was by far the best one we have ever done. - We’ve done tours all over the world, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, the United States, the Caribbean , Mexico, and all over Europe and this is hands-down the best tour we have ever done. It’s for small groups, there were only four of us on the tour plus the guide. You arrive at their little office and they have hot tea and coffee and snacks waiting on you. Then they drive you upstream through a creek line jungle, and I mean right in the water of the creek to the starting point for the hike. After about 10 minutes of hiking in and out of the creek, the trail heads uphill a bit and in about 10 minutes, you reached the first of about 10 waterfalls you’ll see on the tour. You only get the swim in about six or seven of them, but you will get to see, at least 20. And you are hiking through a gorgeous thick forest of jungle with trees towering well over 100 feet over your head. It looks like something right out of a movie. It reminds me exactly of the jungle that Arnold Schwarzenegger and his men hike through in the First predator movie. The water temperature in every pool at the base of the Falls is perfect and nearly crystal clear. You can swim right up to the base of the falls for a great swim time after time after time. And each waterfall gets better and better and better and bigger and bigger and bigger as you venture up through the canyon hiking through Trails cut right through the jungle and then at times you’re hiking right up through the waterfalls themselves. About halfway up, the guide served us fresh cut pineapples at the base of a waterfall And he told us all about the trees And we even saw a couple of the really colorful Poisonous frogs that live in the canyon. If we had an extra day on our trip, we would’ve booked it again for the very next day. My big tip would be to simply wear athletic shoes. My wife had on tennis shoes and they worked great as did the guide. The other three of us were wearing Tevas and Keens and we kept getting rocks in our shoes. When the tour was over, they had fresh cut mango and starfruit that the guy picked from his backyard, laid out for us. This tour is the real deal. You will not be disappointed.

Exceeds expectations - Andres gave us the time of our lives and the most beautiful hiking and waterfall experience ever. He made climbing a mountain easy and fun! Do this tour!
