La Leona waterfall is one of the best tours in Costa Rica. The tour consists of walking, swimming, crossing through canyons and caves to reach the waterfall. You will feel lost in the jungle flooded with amazement by the magic of the canyons and the volcanic rock created by the volcanic lava that painted beautiful and impressive works of art. La Leona waterfall is hidden between the canyons which makes it a magical experience for all participants. I know you will like it, the sky blue color of the river, the hike and the waterfall will make you love Costa Rica. Do not miss this tour, do not miss La Leona Waterfall if you are near Tamarindo, Flamingo or Liberia.

Absolutely perfect day! Verni was our guide and made the hour and a half drive to the base of the hike so enjoyable with his vast knowledge and passion for this beautiful country. We joined Derek, another guide at the base of the hike, and he was equally as kind and helpful. The hike itself was absolutely exhilarating and so much fun! Verni brought a fresh pineapple that he cut up for us to snack on before making our way out. On the way back to our drop off point, we stopped at the most amazing local buffet for a feast that was one of the best meals we have had since our arrival. I cannot recommend this company and experience enough. Thank you On the Road!!

Can I rate this 10 stars plus? Our guide Verny was nothing short of amazing. We have done lots of tours in many countries and he outshines them all between his knowledge, friendliness, and photography skills. He picked us up on time and gave us choices on the route we would drive. He stopped to buy us fruit when we asked about what they were selling and showed us how to eat it. (He later bought more for us to snack on during the hike.). The hike itself is not overly difficult. I’m almost 62 and in reasonable decent shape and my partner is 65 with a cranky knee. We had no trouble. I do recommend that you use a life vest even if you are a good swimmer. There are strong currents and many rocks. Verny pointed out many bits of nature along the way and told so much of the history of Costa Rica. This man truly loves his job!! We absorbed it all!! And to add to the very best, he tool so many great pictures and videos of us that we couldn’t have done ourselves and sent them all to us after he got home. We have never had that happen before! Sure, some will grab your phone to take a picture of you but none that use their own to take so many awesome photos of both us and the nature we saw!! Thank you Verny!!!

This was our second “chance of a lifetime” excellent excursion with Verny and On the Road Costa Rica. This company takes care of every detail from pick up to drop off. “No worries, Mommy, Verny will take care of that.” My kids said that more than once. And as a single mom traveling abroad, what more could you ask for. We felt safe to explore which makes the experience even more exciting!! We felt accomplished and proud, United helping one another experience the best waterfall adventure I’ve ever done. Verny embodies the meaning of Pura Vida showing such grace and gratitude for all living beings. Cheers to the best mango pineapple and dragonfruit we have ever tasted. We love Verny and On the Road Costa Rica like family. I will ALWAYS book with On The Road.

Most amazing experience of a lifetime! So beautiful. We felt like adventurers! The hike was not as bad as some reviews made it seem. We took our time, went through caves, canyons, rivers, and of course to the falls.
