Stunning waterfalls in the modst of the rainforest - The La Paz waterfalls are really stunning and you can see many different animals in the sanctuary (that feels a bit more like a zoo). The tour was well organized and I had enough time to explore. I advise to take a rain coat and a second pair of shoes/pants with you as you will get soaked if you go near the waterfalls.

Wonderful Rainforest Waterfalls - We had a perfect weather day and our driver Harlin and guide Marco were fired up with excitement! This has been one of the best days ever on our 15 day trip to San Jose Costa Rica! La Paz Waterfalls Gardens is spectacular and there’s nothing touristy about this experience. The infrastructure they built here is amazing and leverages the natural environment of these rainforest waterfalls. This tour is worth it!

Hike learning enjoying and getting wet - There are very good paths to have a great walk. Bring a rain top and good shoes. There are bathrooms, souvenir shops and obviously delicious coffee. There are staff who explain to you about nature, they are very friendly and attentive.

Recommend to do. - Garden outstanding. Need to be able to go up and down lots of steps. Could use some places to sit along paths. Tour needs to communicate pickup times better. Tour guide was excellent.

Beautiful waterfalls & wildlife - but too much driving. - Heads up - you will spend A LOT of time driving and in the van (more so than I think many of us wanted to). The LaPaz wildlife facility & trails to the waterfalls were very well maintained. Waterfalls were beautiful. Hike to and from is fairly easy - but definitely need to be in decent physical shape. Lunch was not good at all - had lot’s of options but our guide opted for a late lunch and by the time we ate they were packing away the buffet and most of the food had been picked over. Tour guide was nice - but he didn’t do much to bond any of us as a group not even a simple like “hey where is everyone from” etc. Guide also seemed distracted and was on his phone during the hike & wildlife facility.

Great park but trip was too long - The park and lunch were great. We really enjoyed the experience. The travel time was much longer than we expected. We were picked up by someone who did not speak English who took us to a coffee shop next to a coffee plantation though it wasn’t on the itinerary. He then took us to another coffee shop to pick up our guide that was another hour of waiting around. We then got on another large bus which was our tour. No one explained it to us so we’re confused and frustrated. The total tour time was nine hours and not six as advertised. I would do a private tour if I had known we would spend so much time traveling and waiting around.

Don’t Use this company! - La Paz waterfall gardens is beautiful and I highly recommend it. Our guide Jonathan was great as well. It was the tour company that we booked with that we don’t recommend. Originally we were supposed to be picked up at 9 AM at our hotel, but the night before we got an email saying the pick up would be at 10:20AM. After not seeing a tour bus, I called twice and still no answer. I finally get a call at about 11:20 AM telling me that we will be picked up by an Uber to go to a different location. Fast-forward, we did not start the tour to the park until 12 noon. We entered at approximately 1:30 PM and we did everything in fast-forward mode since we had to be out of there by 4 PM. As a result of us getting back to our hotel late, I had to cancel my husband’s birthday reservations for 6 PM. It was his actual birthday, and it ruined the plans.

Not a half day!DO NOT... - Not a half day!DO NOT BOOK if you have a flight during the afternoon or the evening or any activities.You will be back only around 7 pm at your hotel in town center.Very bad organisation with pick up at 10.40 am and then you have to wait 1h30 in a souvenir shop for the group who did the volcano the morning to join the groupe so you go inside the garden only around 1.30-2 pm.I do not recommend this tour
