Waterfall Excursion 

The Mangrove Estuary Tour
ALL DAY WATER FALL EXCURSION 
​“Off the beaten track find waterfall slides, caves and secluded beaches. ”
Come with us on a full day of adventure. We will be on the ocean, in the jungle, jumping from waterfalls, sliding down waterfalls, exploring caves and adventuring in Costa Rica unlike any other tour.
We will start the day by heading south to explore some of our favorite places in Costa Rica. We will be seeing 3 waterfalls, all of which you can jump from, and at each of these spots are places to explore as well.
We will also visit an almost secluded beach that is outlined with caves and palm trees. This tour is for the adventurer who wants to get away from the crowds and truly see what Costa Rica’s hidden side has to offer. Better than exploring on your own, because the guides will uncover secret spots, lead the way, and show you how to navigate the falls if you want to climb or jump.

Tour Time: 9:00am
What to Bring: Shoes or rugged sandals (no flip flops), camera, towel, sunscreen, bug spray, extra set of dry clothes.

You may even catch a glimpse at the rare ‘silky pigmy anteater’, barely bigger than the human hand.

Trip Time: 4 hours total
