Our travel agent booked this tour for us and it was such a fantastic day. So much fun!!! We were picked up punctually at our hotel and told what to expect. Our guides were Damion, Cory and Alejandro. Elian was the photographer. And Macho was our driver. They all need to be mentioned because they really made it such a spectacular day. We were a family of four adults and there was another family with a teenage daughter that wasn’t a great swimmer. The guides made it amazing for all of us. Everyone jumped off the first waterfall. The teen girl was very nervous and the guides encouraged her and helped her get up the nerve to do the jump. At our second stop, there was a platform to jump off of that was higher than the first place. Once again the guides were encouraging and so patient. They showed you exactly how to jump and made it so fun with their daredevil jumps. It was so great watching them have so much fun. It was obvious they love what they do. My personal favorite part was the 20 foot natural rock slide. On this one they require you to wear a life vest. Only three of us chose to do it. At the top of the rock slide two of the guides placed you right where you needed to be. It was a blast. And the guides let you go as many times as you wanted. The third stop was a beautiful waterfall. The jump there was somewhere around 30 feet. Only our two adult kids (daughter and son in law) and the guides jumped off of this one. But we all had a blast. And Elian took amazing family pictures. After this stop we walked up the hill to a restaurant at a fish farm. You had choices on what you wanted to eat. I chose to get the whole tilapia. The meal was amazing. So very tasty. Our last stop was at a beach. Then we were dropped off at our hotel again. I can’t say enough about what a fun and memorable day this was. I’m so very glad we went. Thank you to our amazing guides, photographer and driver for showing us a great time. Their enthusiasm made it a blast.

I never, ever write reviews. I do read them, however, and now I know why Paddle 9 has such fantastic reviews. Our experience on the Nauyca Waterfall Tour today, with Reese and Roberto (Rasta) as our guides, is certainly worthy of them. These two young men are THE. BEST. and were so fun and professional while keeping safety in mind. They made cliff jumping off a waterfall look so easy...easy enough that I wanted to try it. I've done a lot of crazy things in my life, but I learned today that cliff jumping off Nauyaca was probably one of the crazier things I've done. I also learned it isn't as easy as it looks, but Rasta and Reese made sure things went smoothly, were enjoyable, and most importantly, safe. Huge shout out to Paddle9 and these two amazing guides - Gracias for a wonderful experience!

Having done many excursions in CR this one is the best by far. Amazing views, professional and fun guides, and an all around great experience . Must try…ask for Ken and Mambo….they made the experience happen.

All 4 of our guides, driver, and photographer were so fun and knowledgeable. They really made sure we had the time of our life while staying safe. The waterfall jumps and jungle slide were exhilerating and the caves and beach were gorgeous! The guides were daredevils and completely entertaining! The restaurant where we had lunch was amazing and served fresh full tilapia. If you get the opportunity to do this tour, you won't regret it!

We did the horseback tour to the falls & Andrés was our tour guide! He was fabulous & very helpful with getting everyone set up with their horse & magically pairing each of us with a horse that best suited us. It was a beautiful tour that I highly recommend doing (especially on horseback-if you love horses). We spent time relaxing in the water & enjoying the beauty of waterfall surrounded by the rainforest. We headed back & got to enjoy a delicious homemade meal by a local woman at her beautiful home. This adventure is family friendly & such a great time! Side note: I dropped my phone on the tour (which I surprisingly wasn’t concerned about), but Andrés spent his time after the tour looking around for it for me & did! So kind. Pura Vida!

What a terrific adventure! My family of 5 went on the full day waterfall adventure with Paddle 9. The guides Ken and Gabriel were super friendly and prioritized safety and fun. It was a wonderful adventure visiting 3 different spots with options to jump from waterfalls if we chose to do so. We also stopped at a charming beach which was a nice bonus. We made wonderful memories!

I had the funnest time on this tour with our guides, Ariel, DK, and our driver Carlos. We received some educational information about quepos, the palm trees, and more as we traveled to our waterfalls. I had the opportunity to do two cliff jumps with lots of support and patience from Ariel and DK (sorry I was a scaredy cat) and we did a natural water slide into the waterfall! It was such a fun tour, and would recommend so much. We also visited a tilapia farm and had local tilapia for lunch. If you’re looking for an active and engaging tour, you won’t be disappointed with this one!

The best tour I've done during my two week trip to Costa Rica! The full day tour includes visiting three beautiful waterfalls, lots of cliff jumping and two natural waterslides. The included pick-up is very convenient, and the lunch provided was delicious! The guides Ken and Alejandro were really funny and helpful, and made the experience even more enjoyable ❤️ They were supportive and did their job perfectly, ensuring that everyone was safe and having fun! This is the company to book with for a day full of adventure and excitement! I recommend you to book this trip if you'd like to have a truly unforgettable holiday! 😉

My wife and I did this tour on our last day in Manuel Antonio and we couldn't of asked for a better experience. Ismael and DK were great and very accomodating. They were funny, polite, and informative. They helped us get great pictures and gave us an experience that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend this company and this tour if you are in Manuel Antonio area.

I highly recommend this experience. It was awesome, fun and challenging. Our tour guides - Corry, Alejandro, Damien and Elian- were kind, silly and helpful the entire time. They assisted us in crossing the rivers and showed us how to jump or slide into the water. We also learned about Costa Rica history and had a delicious lunch.

It was amazing! We had so much fun. We went to 3 waterfalls and jumped into the water at two of them - it was such an adrenaline rush! We also slid down a natural waterfall slide, which was really fun. The tour guides were incredibly helpful and we felt safe the entire time. They also shared a lot of interesting facts about the waterfalls and Costa Rica. I highly recommend this tour if you're looking for a great experience filled with adrenaline and beautiful scenery.

The Paddle 9 crew were amazing! Korry, Alejandro, and Damien made our experience. The three of them were so helpful! They made safety a top priority while still having an absolute blast! Thanks Gentlemen! If you are interested in a great time please book Paddle 9!

This was an amazing day with amazing guides. Damian, Corry, Elian and (I can’t remember the other name) were so kind, knowledgeable and fun! We saw beautiful scenery, jumped off some scary yet manageable heights and learned a lot about Costa Rican history. Strongly suggest adding this to your to do list when in Manuel Antonio!

We did the Nauyaca Falls trip with Paddle 9 Our guides Salty and Cory were the best. They were extremely knowledgeable and made the entire experience through the forest memorable, pointing out plants, and all kinds of animals. Wonderful experience

Our guide, Rasta, and driver, Damien, were from Paddle 9 guide services. We could not have had a better experience. They were knowledgeable and so kind; with us every step of the way down to and up from the waterfall. The waterfall and swim holes were stunning and great fun. A truly wonderful experience. Highly recommend
