  • Description

    At a height of over 1,000 feet, we reach our private reserve. After a 5-minute downhill walk, this Jaco waterfall tour truly begins! We hike up the river using trails and bridges that criss-cross the water, allowing us to enjoy multiple smaller, interactive waterfalls and natural pools.

     On this exciting Jaco day trip, there are four different swimming holes and many waterfalls to get under. These natural pools will invite you to swim in fresh mountain spring water and submerge yourself under the falls for an invigorating massage. For the more adventurous, there are a couple of places you can jump into the pools from heights of 4 feet and around 25 feet!

     When you’ve quenched your thirst for adventure, we make the 10-minute hike back to the truck. During the entire tour, we are surrounded by the beautiful Costa Rican virgin rainforest. Bring your camera to capture all the amazing experiences. Your guide will keep it in a dry bag and make sure it stays safe.

      Weather Policy

      All of our tours will run rain or shine. When it rains here it is still relatively warm and the rain can actually enhance your experience while you are in the rain forest. However, if the rain is so strong that it creates conditions that your guide deems it unsafe, we will cancel the tour and you can reschedule or receive a refund.
