Playa Ventanas
The Playa Ventanas beach caves are unique and impressive. They are located about 30 minutes from the uvita Waterfalls. These 2 caves are about 500 feet long and walking into them is quite an experience. The cave mouths are wide enough for a large vehicle to drive into, so one does not feel claustrophobic. One can body surf the waves in the caves when the tide is right for it. The beach next to the caves is beautiful and the waves are not to rough. We can spend some time in the ocean or on the beach after we experience the caves.

Portalon
The Portalon waterfalls are a great place to swim and a little low cliff jumping. The river is easily accessible and the water is refreshing. It is located in the middle of the Costa Rican rain forest.

Wonderful Waterfalls
My 16 year old twins and I had the most amazing time. My daughter absolutely loved exploring the waterfalls. My son was nervous, but the guide was amazing at giving him guidance and in not time he was feeling comfortable and enjoying the falls too. There had been downpours the day before and the natural waterslidw had roo much water, but we still enjoyed climbing the ladder and taking in the view. The food was delicious that was included. I would definitely recoomwnd the tour.

Best adventure vacation ever!
Visited Manuel Antonio with my 2 sons (ages 23 and 25) in May 2026, Damian @ Costa Rica Tropical Adventures was literally the best guide we've ever had for adventure vacationing. He's a pro in every way, generous with his friendship, expert guidance and knowledge of many aspects of Costa Rica. We hiked thru the rainforest, swam in and dove off of waterfalls, explored beach caves, and did a half-day whitewater rafting...all experiences were amazing. He attends to every detail and is just an awesome human. Top notch!

Local Gems of Costa Rica
Damian took us on the most amazing tour of the beaches, caves, and waterfalls! We had a full day of adventure, just the two of us and Damian, who felt like a fast friend. We saw the most amazing sights and got to experience some local gems!

Epic Adventure with Damian
We had such a great experience on our waterfall and beach cave tour in Costa Rica with Damian as our guide. He has over 20 years of experience, and it really shows. Everything was incredibly well organized from start to finish, which made the whole day flow smoothly and stress-free. Damian speaks both English and Spanish fluently, so communication was easy, and he made the tour fun and engaging for everyone. He has a great personality and keeps the energy up while still being professional and attentive! I felt very safe and comfortable the entire time, which was especially important given some of the terrain. Damian is clearly very knowledgeable about the area and shares interesting insights along the way, which adds so much to the experience. I would highly recommend Damian to anyone visiting Costa Rica. If you’re looking for a guide who is experienced, fun, and reliable he’s the one to book!

I highly recommend!
We had such a great time. The day felt super personalized, we explored a hidden waterfall, spotted some wildlife, and enjoyed an amazing local lunch. Our guide was fun, friendly, and shared recommendations for other parts of our trip which was really helpful.

Waterfalls and Beach Caves Adventure in Costa Rica: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quepos.
How much does Waterfalls and Beach Caves Adventure in Costa Rica cost?
+
Prices start at $141 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 Waterfalls and Beach Caves Adventure in Costa Rica 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 Waterfalls and Beach Caves Adventure in Costa Rica worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 19 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 Waterfalls and Beach Caves Adventure in Costa Rica?
+
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 Waterfalls and Beach Caves Adventure in Costa Rica 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 Waterfalls and Beach Caves Adventure in Costa Rica?
+
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 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 Waterfalls and Beach Caves Adventure in Costa Rica 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 Waterfalls and Beach Caves Adventure in Costa Rica?
+

+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 23 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.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Waterfalls and Beach Caves Adventure in Costa Rica?
+
