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!


Took the family on the Eco-Chontales waterfall experience. Paddle 9 is a class act from the start, starting with the hotel pick-up where you learn Costa Rican trivia, history, and culture on the ride up. Once we arrived we were literally the only people at the waterfall for an adrenaline-rushing experience like no other. We would definitely recommend Paddle 9. Shout out to Ismael, Damian, and Matt… If you spend a day with these guys you will experience Pura Vida and learn what Costa Rica is all about!!!

Guides were very attentive and informative. Waterfalls are beautiful and guides provide ropes if you want to jump. I liked having a smaller group, just 9 of us. They took us a special way that cut off some walking in the hot sun. Lunch was good typico food.

We went to the waterfall (eko Chantales) on a Tuesday (when maanuel antonio is closed. It was the highlight of our trip so far.Ismael, our guide, was fascinating, telling us about Costa Rica, the culture, and the wild life. His amicable explanations were a major part of why we had the best time.The waterfalls are beautiful. You can go swimming, jump into pools and so much more. The tour comes with a lunch and fruit which was great. I really recommend it. Went with my 10 and 12 year old daughters.
