Amazing!!
Mambo was a great and knowledgeable guide! He made the experience special and was very attentive. Beauty of nature meets great guide!

A great adventure!
This was an amazing adventure! Our driver Julian and tour guide Ian were amazing from start to finish! Pickup was timely at my hotel. We had a tiny group, myself and two others — 3 in total. When we arrived to our first waterfall destination Ian made us feel very comfortable and helped us climb down into to the pool below the waterfall. There was no pressure to jump if we didn’t want to. The next stop at the secluded beach was great as well. The fresh coconut while on the beach was a nice touch! Finally the grand finale Nauyaca waterfalls were stunning. Theres a bit of a downhill hike to the waterfall and then uphill going back but Ian did a great job navigating us throughout. Sitting in a rock and enjoying the waterfall mist felt like a dream. Swimming beneath the waterfall was fun but watch out for the strength of the current and hidden rocks on the shallow side. Amazing experience overall!

Every person involved in...
Every person involved in making this trip happen was LOVELY. They made everyone in the group feel safe, happy, and included as they were very considerate. The locations we visited were out of this world. I made friends on this trip that I will have for the rest of my life. The entire trip felt like a dream I never wanted to wake up from. I highly recommend you book this activity!!!

Loved this trip! Nauyaca is stunning and these guides are the BEST
Jordon Eddie and Julian gave us the best day out! loads of laughs and really knowledgable about all things Costa Rican. The drive to the water falls was an education in itself. We had well thought out stops: Portalon waterfall to jump in (with a bit of handholding!) Playa Linda - a gorgeous unspoilt beach but watch out for the rip currents Fresh coconut water Dominical for coffee - loved it there! a bit of shopping... Nauyaca - hike and stunning waterfalls. We jumped off the rocks and had the best day!! Top 3 of trips while we were in CR!!! Thanks guys x

Wonderful day at Nauyaca!
What a wonderful day we had on this full day tour to Nauyaca Waterfalls with our guides Jordan and Eddie. Both were super knowledgeable about the plants and animals we encountered and nothing was too much trouble for them. We had 4 stops in all during the day and we enjoyed them all. We would have appreciated a little longer at our coffee stop as the food and drinks were delicious. All in all we really enjoyed this trip, one of our highlights so far!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Waterfall Adventures-All Inclusive Full-Day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quepos.
How much does Waterfall Adventures-All Inclusive Full-Day cost?
+
Prices start at $130 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 Waterfall Adventures-All Inclusive Full-Day 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 Waterfall Adventures-All Inclusive Full-Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Quepos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Waterfall Adventures-All Inclusive Full-Day?
+
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 Waterfall Adventures-All Inclusive Full-Day 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 Waterfall Adventures-All Inclusive Full-Day?
+
Around 6 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 Waterfall Adventures-All Inclusive Full-Day 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 Full Day Waterfall Adventure, Manuel Antonio Canopy Tour - Longest Twin Zip Line in Central America, Manuel Antonio Park Tour and its Amazing Wildlife and Beaches. 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.
What is included in Waterfall Adventures-All Inclusive Full-Day?
+
Included: On-board WiFi; Bottled water; Snacks; Lunch; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Alcoholic beverages; Tea and coffee; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Waterfall Adventures-All Inclusive Full-Day include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 85 listed pickup locations in and around Quepos. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Waterfall Adventures-All Inclusive Full-Day offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Waterfall Adventures-All Inclusive Full-Day?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Waterfall Adventures-All Inclusive Full-Day wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Waterfall Adventures-All Inclusive Full-Day if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
