⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 Experience!
My husband and I had an absolutely amazing time on the Nauyaca Waterfall Tour! From the very beginning, everything was organized and seamless. We were picked up right on time and given clear instructions ahead of the tour about what to bring and how to prepare, which made the entire experience stress free. We didn’t book a private tour, but it ended up being just the two of us and honestly, I wasn’t disappointed at all! It felt like we had our own personalized experience. Our guide was great, and we felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire adventure. From exploring the beautiful waterfalls to making our way to the beach, every part of the day was incredible. The scenery was breathtaking, the experience was fun, and the entire excursion was handled professionally. If you’re visiting Costa Rica and considering the Nauyaca Waterfall Tour, DO IT! We would absolutely recommend it. 🌴💦 10/10 experience from start to finish! Pura Vida! 🇨🇷

Highly Recommended. Great Tour, Guide and Drivet
We had a truly fabulous experience on the tour. The scenery was breathtaking. Loved the rainforest and waterfalls. Learned so much from Mambo, our guide. Can’t say enough nice things about Mambo and our driver, Julien. When it comes to Pura Vida, they are the real deal. Constantly remained vigilant and drew on their extensive experience to ensure our individual safety, when warranted. Authentic lunch was delicious. Had a memorable experience jumping directly into the white water rapid created by the waterfall from the cliff. Great learning experience about so many aspects of Costa Rican foliage, lifestyle, culture, wildlife and industry. By the middle of the tour, we had already bonded with Mambo and Julien. Great way to see this area of Costa Rica.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable experience with Mambo and Julien. It means a lot to know that you enjoyed the waterfalls, rainforest, authentic lunch, and learning about Costa Rican culture, wildlife, and nature. Most importantly, we’re happy that you felt safe and well taken care of throughout the adventure. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for more Pura Vida adventures!

Highly recommended. Great guide and driver
Highly recommend this beautiful action packed adventure. Amazing sights, beautiful rainforest and waterfalls. The tour was truly made extraordinary by Mambo, our tour guide and Julien, out driver. They were extremely knowledgeable and informative. They exercised great judgment and experience to ensure our individual safety. By the middle of the day we had already formed a bond with them. Thank you.

Mambo was an amazing tour...
Mambo was an amazing tour guide. Very patient, and fun! Julien was a great driver! Food was excellent for lunch. It was definitely a full day and we left exhausted and tired! Saw beautiful beaches and waterfalls!

Mambo is the way to go!
This was an amazing and very educational tour thanks to our tour guide Mambo. Not to mention the views of the waterfalls and beaches were stunning! Mambo was as eager to teach us about Costa Rican culture as he was to show us amazing views! One thing that stood out about Mambo was he turned a question I had into an act of kindness that wasn’t included as part of the tour. I asked him how do you tell if a coconut that has fallen from the tree is good to eat or not. Not only did he educate me and answer my question, he found the right one and prepared it so that we could enjoy the coconut water. If you are reading this I would highly recommend that you request Mambo as your guide. Also I must say, our safety was his top priority. He literally walked us through everything from the jumps at the waterfalls to how and why it was important to receive help from him with a forearm grab instead of hand to hand help. It’s the little things and Mambo was great!

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Nauyaca Waterfall Adventure -All-Inclusive Full Day tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quepos.
How much does Nauyaca Waterfall Adventure -All-Inclusive Full Day tour cost?
+
Prices start at $84 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quepos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Nauyaca Waterfall Adventure -All-Inclusive Full Day tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Quepos is not rushed.
Is Nauyaca Waterfall Adventure -All-Inclusive Full Day tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 194 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Quepos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Nauyaca Waterfall Adventure -All-Inclusive Full Day tour?
+
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 Nauyaca Waterfall Adventure -All-Inclusive Full Day tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nauyaca Waterfall Adventure -All-Inclusive Full Day tour?
+
Around 68 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 Quepos 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 Quepos and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nauyaca Waterfall Adventure -All-Inclusive Full Day tour 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 Quepos 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 Quepos?
+
On Outty we rank every Quepos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whitewater Rafting Savegre Class II-III plus Waterfall Manuel Antonio, Manuel Antonio Canopy Tour - Longest Twin Zip Line in Central America, Waterfall Ziplining & Canyoning. 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 Quepos?
+
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 Quepos?
+
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.
