La leona waterfall hike private experince

We liked this private tour to the La Leona waterfall very much. Berny is very friendly and accommodating. Especially, we are pleased by our tour guide, Ramses (see his picture attached). He is very knowlegeable about flora and fauna of this place, and he gave us really great lessons about history and more recent events around this area. He was also very helpful during technical steps of the tour.

Group of 4. Fun and challenging hike and beautiful waterfall. Guide was fun, informative, and helpful. It was our favorite excursion !

This was a can’t miss experience in Costa Rica!!! The guides were kind and knowledgable and we felt safe the entire time. We didn’t know what to expect on the tour, but were surprised at how exciting and beautiful it was. I recommend wearing closed toed water sandals, and a swim suit that is comfortable to hike in and bring a water. You won’t want to carry anything else as you will be fully submerged in water at multiple points along the way. You will leave your towels and clothes at the main office, so pack lightly. We reached out to the tour operator to see if we could leave earlier, and they were so accommodating. Going early in the morning allowed us to beat the crowd. We had the waterfall all to ourselves and got back to our resort early in the afternoon. The drive to the waterfall took about 90 minutes.

Ramses and Stiven kept us so safe … we’re so helpful and fun. Kids, teens to seniors felt safe and adventurous.

Our hike to La Leona Waterfall in Costa Rica was truly one of the highlights of our trip. From start to finish, the team was so professional and made the entire experience feel seamless and special. Freddy and his team were incredibly nice, welcoming, and genuinely invested in making sure everyone had an amazing time. The generosity and warmth they showed made the day unforgettable. The hike itself was beautiful and adventurous, but it was the people who made it exceptional. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Costa Rica — it’s an absolute must-do!

Bernie arranged an “off the menu” family adventure for our two families (kids 16-22). Waterfall+lunch+hotsprimgs+transportation.

We had the best adventure with our AMAZING guide Ian!! Our family is very adventurous so he made it extra special and took us on routes he normally doesn't take people. Safety came first for him and if it didn't feel something was safe, he would tell us we couldn't do it. He also timed going into the waterfall and other scenic spots perfectly so we weren't with crowds and had it all to ourselves! Also, he was so good stopping and pointing our wildlife to us, which was fun! It was the perfect day and I am so happy we chose to go with this company!

We had an amazing day with Arnold as our guide. We loved the hike to the waterfall. Arnold was knowledgeable about different plants and birds along the way. We loved having a private tour and felt very safe versus the large groups where not everyone was getting the attention needed. We also noticed we got to go in the river to visit the 3 falls before the large fall and other groups skipped it. Arnold knew ways to traverse the water that made it easier for us with the currents. On the way back we were able to take a detour through a bat cave and loved it. Our day was amazing and enjoyed listening to Bernie tell us the history of his village and all they are doing to keep it alive. The fresh fruit was a refreshing treat when we finished. Our transportation from the W was provided by Randall the owner of Shaman Tours. He was so knowledgeable about Costa Rica and accommodating of our needs. We stopped for a delicious lunch on the way back.

It was very good company. They helped us carefully to climb to the waterfall 100% recommend. All guides are very friendly and intelligent.

Had a great experience on this hike. The waterfall was so beautiful, but the service was even better. Bernie, Dylan & Ramsey were the best.
