Trip Overview

After we pick you up, we will start our day by paddle boarding along one of Costa Rica’s most lush coastlines, before heading south towards the Osa Peninsula. We will visit 3 different waterfalls, which all have jumps (6 ft / 12 ft / 30 ft approx) as well as areas to swim and explore. One waterfall even has a 20 ft natural slide!

The walks to these locations are about 5-7 mins, and can be generally done by all ages as long as the person is semi-active. 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.

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 with us in the beautiful province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica.

We went on a wonderful day trip to visit waterfalls, swimming holes, and an amazing beach. Paddle 9 is first class. Our guide, DK and his team, Reese and Jonathan, were amazing. A special thanks also to Gustavo for doing all the driving and ensuring our belongings were looked after in the van.We would highly recommend Paddle 9 and this team.

We did a very informative tour of Manuel Antonio park with Ariel. He was friendly, knowledgeable and an excellent guide. We captured 6 sloth sitings, including the elusive 2 toe’d sloth. Ended the tour at the beach at the park (highlight of my trip).
