5.00Amazing tour - definitely a highlight of our Costa Rica trip. Our guide Jose was awesome. Our group was 3 adults (mid 40s and relatively fit) and 2 teen boys - hike was challenging at times but super fun and the end (La Leona waterfall!) was so worth it. As we passed some large tour groups all lined up, we were happy we had booked a private tour for just our family - we were able to take our time where we wanted and have some space for ourselves. The lunch afterwards was one of our best meals of the trip and the hot springs were a perfect way to end the day. Won’t forget this anytime soon. Sign up, you won’t regret it!
Beautiful experience

5.00Diego was our tour guide and he did an amazing job! He picked us up at our hotel and drove us to and from La Leona Waterfall. The tours were an all day event but a ton of fun! The food was good, the hot springs were fun, and the waterfall was beautiful. It was a perfect experience if you are looking to go to the jungle and see a waterfall without having to drive to the middle of Costa Rica. I would recommend this event. Be sure to bring water shoes and a change of clothes.
Felt Like Hanging Out with Your Fun Cousins!

5.00This excursion was the highlight of our Costa Rican vacation. Our guide, Berto, was a local from Leona Falls area and knew all of the insider secrets including some natural water slides and cliff jumps that added to the adventure. Our tour was just our family which was great as we were able to go at our own pace and have a lot of the areas to ourselves. It felt like being invited into a private oasis and was amazing that we were able to get so much privacy during peak tourist season. Berto and our driver, Rafa, treated us like extended family and by the end of the day we were joking around and giving hugs and felt like we truly had made friends as well as had a great (long) day! Rafa showed us how the locals eat ceviche with a crushed bag of chips which was one of the most delicious things we ate the entire trip. 100% recommend and hopefully you get lucky and get the local legend Berto to be your guide as well!
Good excursion

5.00Was just an amazing day and Tour. We got to Cliff jump off the 25ft, 35ft foot and we even did the bigger crazy 45-50 ft one! Jose jumped with us too, it was so awesome!! Then he took us white water rafting tubing, got us lunch, then to the hiking to the most beautiful rivers and waterfall!! On the way home he took an extra stop to make sure we saw the Monkeys we wanted to see!! Would love to do another tour with Jose!! He was very personable, knowledgable, and helped us with everything! Just so great!!!
Fun tour!

5.00Had a great time on this tour. Our guide Hernan picked us up from our hotel and drove us to the various locations. He was very attentive to our needs. Definitely pack a bathing suit, sunscreen, a towel, water shoes, and a waterproof phone case.

5.00This was such an incredible experience. Diego picked us up from Dreams Las Mareas. He explained the flora, fauna, and cultural norms of the area on our way to go river tubing, hiking La Leona with our other wonderful guide Luis, and on to the hot springs pools for a dip. We were not rushed. We were able to enjoy each location and experience at our own pace. Our guides were fantastic, knowledgeable, and really made us feel welcomed.
Just book it!
