    Absolutely Incredible Waterfall Tour Experience!

    We had an amazing waterfall tour with Steven as our guide and the tour organized by Discover Tamarindo, owned by Christian. From start to finish, everything was top-notch! Steven was outstanding — knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the area. He made the entire experience fun while also sharing interesting facts about the local wildlife, landscape, and culture. He was patient, made sure everyone felt comfortable, and kept the energy high the whole time. Christian and the Discover Tamarindo team did a fantastic job organizing everything seamlessly. Communication was clear, transportation was smooth, and the whole day felt well-planned and stress-free. The waterfall itself was absolutely breathtaking — a true Costa Rica highlight! Plenty of time to swim, explore, and take photos. It never felt rushed. If you're visiting the Tamarindo area, I highly recommend booking with Discover Tamarindo. This was easily a 5-star experience and one of the best parts of our trip!

    A must if you’re in the area!! 100% recommend

    My husband, 2 friends and I risked traveling during the rainy season to do a little hiking to a waterfall. Christian and his father were our guides from tamarindo to the beginning of the hike. They continued with us the entire trip. It was truly the highlight of our entire visit. The hike was fun but challenging- we got to use ropes to cross rivers and ended up in a beautiful waterfall. The timing was perfect because it wasn’t crowded! I highly recommend Christian & his family’s company. They also have other excursions available- atvs and fishing for sure!!!

    La Leona Waterfall Tour with Lunch and Transfer from Tamarindo: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tamarindo.

    How much does La Leona Waterfall Tour with Lunch and Transfer from Tamarindo cost?

    +

    Prices start at $160 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tamarindo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does La Leona Waterfall Tour with Lunch and Transfer from Tamarindo take?

    +

    Plan for about 6.5 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 Tamarindo is not rushed.

    Is La Leona Waterfall Tour with Lunch and Transfer from Tamarindo worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tamarindo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule La Leona Waterfall Tour with Lunch and Transfer from Tamarindo?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is La Leona Waterfall Tour with Lunch and Transfer from Tamarindo suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book La Leona Waterfall Tour with Lunch and Transfer from Tamarindo?

    +

    Around 1 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 Tamarindo 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 Tamarindo and add a light layer if any part of the 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does La Leona Waterfall Tour with Lunch and Transfer from Tamarindo 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 Tamarindo 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 Tamarindo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Tamarindo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Surf Lesson in Tamarindo - Stand Up or Your Money Back!, Sunset Catamaran & Snorkeling Tour in Playa Flamingo, Fundive Catalina Islands (2 dives, only for certified divers). 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 Tamarindo?

    +

    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 Tamarindo?

    +

    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.

    What is included in La Leona Waterfall Tour with Lunch and Transfer from Tamarindo?

    +

    Included: Best waterfall tour in the area; Water; Life vest; All Fees and Taxes; and Round trip transportation. Not included: TIPS. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
