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.

Don’t Just Take Our Word For It!


We had the most amazing day, and owe it all to Ismael. What a soul he has, and he was an absolute pleasure to spend the day with. On the way to the Nauyaca Falls tour, we learned quite a bit about life in Costa Rica as well as the history of the country. Once we were on the trail, that’s where his soul really shines through. Not only did he exhibit a vast knowledge of the local flora and fauna, but the passion and love that he has for every living being no matter how small… THAT is what made our day the MOST enjoyable. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. Pura Vida!

Hands down, the absolute apex of my Costa Rica adventure! Ken & Corey from Paddle9 Sports are awake guides—they bring incredible energy and expertise. We climbed up two waterfalls, saw fantastic foliage and wildlife, and had an adrenaline-packed journey. If you're looking for an unforgettable, high-energy adventure, this is it. Don't miss out on this experience!
