From the beginning of our drive, our guide Ken provided colorful background about Costa Rica and the region, which he clearly loves. Along with Damien, our diverse small group was carefully guided on the trails and to both the lower and upper waterfalls. Lunch was good. The drive there and back was long and windy, but carefully handled by our driver. Great day!

Our guides, I believe they were, Ken, Alejandro & Ismael, made this trip not only fun & educational but made us feel very safe throughout the trip.
The pools were so refreshing and loved watching them entertain us, and everyone else at the falls, with their jumps, dives & flips. The fruit break was refreshing and the meal after delicious. Highly recommend this tour with the crew from Paddle 9.

We had a great time on our tour! The group size was perfect – not overcrowded – and the guides were friendly, helpful and informative. Ismael, Alejandro and Reese made us feel special, and we had a ton of fun exploring and learning about Nauyaca Falls and the surrounding region. Plus, the photographer took professional photos for a reasonable price. I’d definitely recommend!
