Worth it!
The trail was wet ( rained the day before the hike)so a bit slippery, otherwise it was beautiful and a bit challenging which is what we needed! Ha also there was a water crossing just about 20 minutes in to the hike so be ready for that!

The ppl were supposed to include lunch They charged $50 dollars for meals that was $7pp ($28) never refunded what i was owed.
The lunch that was on the menu for $7 to 8 pp i was charged $50. I was basically robbed. It was a very challenging and dangerous hike. NATURE IS beautiful nonetheless. Most of the handrails are broken. Not guided at all. Very dangerous DO NOT EAT OR BUY OR INCLUDE FOOD...
Response from the operator: Hello, I think your comment is a lie because lunch costs $12 per person, and you say $7.8 people at 7 dollars comes to $56, not $50 as you say. The walking tour plus lunch costs $32 per person; something doesn't add up here—I think you're just making that comment to cause trouble.Our website clearly states that the hike does not include a guide—only the horseback tour does—and if you went on the hike with us, you would have been told at reception that the hike does not include a guide.But I am going to report the comment because I believe it is false, or because you just want to cause trouble.

Loved it !!!
It was exactly as described, and we had a great time. The hike to the waterfall was challenging enough to make us truly appreciate the serenity of the view and the beauty of the waterfall when we arrived. Swimming in the pool felt like a hidden gem and made the whole experience even more special. It took us about three hours, but we did not hurry back because we really enjoyed spending time in the pool and at the waterfall. Otherwise, it would probably take 2:45
Response from the operator: Muchas gracias por tu comentario

Worth the effort
A truly off-the-beaten-path experience, as you are on your own to navigate a steep decline and dense jungle to the waterfall. The map and signage are misleading, and do expect the descent to be a bit more than the suggested 900 meters. Do the waterfall before the pool, which will be a refreshing reward for your efforts. We’d recommend the site at least consider transport to the trailhead, as well as back again.
Response from the operator: Hola nosotros te damos un mapa donde se le explica en la recepción detalladamente el recorrido. sobre el sendero a de los 900 metros la personas piensa que mas cuando vienen de regreso pero son 900 metros Debes tener en cuenta que hacer una caminata entre montaña tiene sus cosas. Recuerda hacer una caminata en montaña no es como caminar en un parque sabes que tienes que hacer un esfuerzo extra.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hiking Tour in Bijagual Waterfall: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jaco.
How much does Hiking Tour in Bijagual Waterfall cost?
+
Prices start at $26 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jaco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hiking Tour in Bijagual Waterfall take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Jaco is not rushed.
Is Hiking Tour in Bijagual Waterfall worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Jaco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hiking Tour in Bijagual Waterfall?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Hiking Tour in Bijagual Waterfall suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 8. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Hiking Tour in Bijagual Waterfall?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Jaco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Jaco and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hiking Tour in Bijagual Waterfall start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Jaco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Jaco?
+
On Outty we rank every Jaco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arenal Volcano, La Fortuna Waterfall, Hot Springs Combo Tour with Lunch & Dinner, Surf Lessons with Pro Team in Jacó, Jaco Beach Costa Rica Horseback Riding. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Jaco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Jaco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
