We had a great time! We were the only people on the tour, so it felt like a private tour. We stopped at a brash and saw a sloth, then went to Nauyaca waterfall. Our guide was Andy and he was awesome and took us to 3 viewpoints. We were able to soak in the water at 2 of the locations. He also applied a clay mask on each of us. It was a lot of fun. The lunch that was provided was very good. From there, we stopped at a smaller waterfall and some people were cliff jumping. We did the easiest jump and it was fun. We would totally do this again!
This was such a fun day! We loved all the components of this day from the first waterfall and beach trip to the coffee shop and lunch. Of course the highlight was the Nauyaca Waterfall. What a beautiful spot. Ian was a fantastic guide. I would 100% go on another tour with this team.
What an incredible experience! Ian, Kian, Julian and Jasper were fantastic tour guides/driver. We were picked up in a large van and Ian entertained and educated us on the drive and throughout the day. We were visiting at the start of wet season and all night before there were heavy rains and thunderstorms, but they scouted out everything to ensure our safety. Playa Linda with “Beach Bowling” and swimming was fun and beautiful, then a quick stop for great CR coffee in Dominical. Ian pointed out lots of wildlife, so we saw many birds, frogs, insects, etc. We did some FUN beginner cliff jumps at a smaller waterfall area. A tasty lunch of arroz con pollo, beans and salad, served with ice cold guava pineapple juice on top of a little mountain, then a tractor pulled us to a spot where we could hike down into the big show - Nauyaca. It was a moderately strenuous hike- doable unless you have significant mobility issues. Guides were so patient and encouraging with some of the more senior members of our group who needed a slower pace. The falls are STUNNING!! We swam and did a few more cliff jumps. They continuously ensured our safety. We didn’t want to leave!! Finally, a hike back up and a tractor pull the rest of the way (which was fun!!) for fresh pineapple and cookies. The van ride back to Manuel Antonio went quickly, and we ended the day around 4 pm, with everyone hugging the guides like family. It was a truly exceptional experience!!
We had such a great time checking out a couple of waterfalls and a beach! Ian who was our guide was super knowledgeable and friendly.
My family and I had so much fun on this tour! Javier and Julian were amazing guides…very knowledgeable and fun to talk to. They were very accommodating. We loved the stop at beautiful Playa Linda with the fresh coconut and delicious pineapple. Our hike in to the Falls was gorgeous. We were so grateful to have a guide to help those of us brave enough to climb and jump off of the waterfall! It was a very fun day ending with a delicious lunch. Highly recommend!
Jordyn and Julien accompanied us on our trip — Such lovely and welcoming people. The tour was very informative, and truly an amazing time. All of our stops were well timed, and I felt like we got the most out of all the locations! Highly recommend.
I travelled with my wife and friends. I highly recommend this team, every single person was amazing and helpful. Ian has amazing instincts and watched every single individual with attention to detail. The whole team had a role and the ride was very educational. Book it!!!!
This was so so worth the money. You don’t have to stress about the drive or the tickets or finding lunch. The only reason the tour itself wasn’t 5 stars was because there was one stop at the begining where they let you “jump off a waterfall” which is cool to say you did it but it’s basically a creek. You can jump at nauyaca and it’s incredible so I would have rather skipped the first stop and spent more time at the end. However our guide Ian was 6 stars!! So charming, knowledgeable, respectful, and made you feel included. I learned so much and he made sure everyone had their expectations met. At the waterfall he helped whoever wanted to jump and made sure we all got our vacation photos! The stairs on the way up from the waterfall are tough but he made sure no one was left behind and didn’t make it obvious anyone was struggling.
Our tour guide was Ian and driving was Julian. Absolutely spectacular. This tour was a full day packed with the best tour guide. We made many stops including a market, a beach and a coffee spot .
Jordan and Julian provided an incredible experience. They were both enthusiastic to share their knowledge and love for nature and the culture. Jordan kept everyone engaged throughout the experience, going above and beyond to find/point out things along the way. The mix of activities was great and the waterfall was as good as advertised. The meal after the visit to the waterfall was also excellent. Highly recommend!
