Great experience!

Gabrielle_A, Dec 2025
We hiked up through what seemed to be jungle and mountain and saw amazing views of Arenal Volcano. Must wear hiking shoes as some of the rocks are slippery. For the waterfall, you will walk down about 250 steps, swim in the waterfall (which is cold) and walk back up. The waterfall is beautiful.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Hola Gabrielle! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the hike through the jungle and mountain and got to take in those amazing views of Arenal Volcano. We truly appreciate you sharing your helpful tips about hiking shoes and the waterfall steps; that kind of advice is super valuable for future travelers. And yes, the water can be cold, but the beauty of the waterfall makes it totally worth it! Thanks again for joining us, and pura vida!

Thoroughly enjoyable activities with a very knowledgeable guide

Helen_F, Feb 2025
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Jose was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, giving us good information on the plants and wildlife that we saw on our hike. He also has good humour and is an excellent photographer. The waterfall was great fun! I was determined to swim, which I did, so I felt really exhilarated afterwards. Not everyone in the group went swimming, it was personal choice. There are 500 steps down to the waterfall and then, of course, 500 steps back up! However they are in short sections and there are places to stop, sit and rest on the way. Lunch was a delicious, traditional meal. Very big portions, which was too much for me to eat. I definitely recommend this trip.

Beautiful day trip!

Great hike, watch your step! Waterfall was amazing, you have to go in the water! But watch your step! Take your time climbing the 500 steps, it’s not a race. Pura Vida

Good adventure but overpriced

This was a good trip overall. The views, guide and lunch were great. However, I feel it was overpriced.
