Trip Overview

Our adventure begins in the morning when we pick you up and head south towards the Osa Peninsula, one of the most biodiverse and remote regions of Costa Rica. Our guides can tell you all about the different plants and wildlife of the area as we transport you to each spot in our new vehicles.

We will visit three different waterfalls that each require just a 5-7 minute walk to get to, making this a great tour for most ages and abilities, as long as you are semi-active.

Every waterfall we visit has places to jump from (6 ft / 12 ft / 30 ft approximately) as well as areas for swimming and exploring. One waterfall spot even includes an awesome 20 ft natural slide!

None of the jumps or slides available are mandatory to progress through the tour, so each guest can be as adventurous as they’re comfortable with.

In addition to these waterfalls, you will also get to explore some of the surrounding caves and we will take you to one of our favorite beaches in the area.

We provide lunch, snacks, water and transit back to your location, so you can have a stress-free day of exploring this beautiful part of Costa Rica with us.

The waterfall tour was the highlight of the trip. Our guides, Ismael, Reese, and Alonzo, were amazing and made us feel safe. The photographer, Maya, was so sweet and took tons of pictures of our family. Lunch at an organic farm was really a treat.

Paddle 9 in Costa Rica with Ismael, DK, and Reese did not disappoint!!!! Ismael has ALL of the knowledge and history of Costa Rica and shares it all! My group and I enjoyed 3 waterfalls, a stop at a local fruit/vegetable market, and delicious lunch at a local restaurant. This group was amazing and the driver was on time and made us feel safe. I would definitely book them again! Friendly, genuine, and love their jobs. Thank you for an amazing experience!
