About this experience

This unique adventure is exclusive to us! Enjoy the day like a local, starting with relaxing tubing down a stunning blue river, followed by a short hike to a small waterfall and to an awesome cliff-jumping spot. Next, hike 30 minutes down adventurous mountain trails, coves, cliffs, and ladders, then swim with a rope against the current to a magical waterfall, true Indiana Jones-style! IMPORTANT: Sturdy, closed-toe sneakers or hiking shoes with thick rubber soles are strictly required (NO Chacos, sandals, or lightweight water shoes). This tour involves climbing ladders, caves, and walking on extremely slippery submerged rocks. For safety, guests without proper athletic footwear cannot participate. Afterward, we’ll enjoy a traditional local Casado lunch. To wrap up, take a 5-minute hike down a secret local path to a massive 90ft waterfall, where you can head to the top and swim down at its base!

Know before you go

  • Service animals allowed
  • Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries
  • Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health
  • Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
  • IMPORTANT: Fully closed-toe sneakers or hiking shoes with thick rubber soles are strictly required (No Chacos, sandals, or lightweight water shoes allowed).

Private Full Day Local 3 Waterfalls Experience in Curubande: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Private Full Day Local 3 Waterfalls Experience in Curubande cost?

+

Prices start at $190 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 Private Full Day Local 3 Waterfalls Experience in Curubande take?

+

Plan for about 8 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 Private Full Day Local 3 Waterfalls Experience in Curubande worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 120 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 Private Full Day Local 3 Waterfalls Experience in Curubande?

+

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 Private Full Day Local 3 Waterfalls Experience in Curubande suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Private Full Day Local 3 Waterfalls Experience in Curubande?

+

Around 42 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Private Full Day Local 3 Waterfalls Experience in Curubande 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 Sunset Catamaran & Snorkeling Tour in Playa Flamingo, ATV or Buggy Guided Tour from Tamarindo, Conchal or RIU Hotels, Sunday Funday Tamarindo Party Bus - Beach and Pool Crawl. 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.
