Trip Overview
Our adventure begins in the morning when we pick you up and head south towards the Osa Peninsula, one of the most biodiverse and remote regions of Costa Rica. Our guides can tell you all about the different plants and wildlife of the area as we transport you to each spot in our new vehicles.
We will visit three different waterfalls that each require just a 5-7 minute walk to get to, making this a great tour for most ages and abilities, as long as you are semi-active.
Every waterfall we visit has places to jump from (6 ft / 12 ft / 30 ft approximately) as well as areas for swimming and exploring. One waterfall spot even includes an awesome 20 ft natural slide!
None of the jumps or slides available are mandatory to progress through the tour, so each guest can be as adventurous as they’re comfortable with.
In addition to these waterfalls, you will also get to explore some of the surrounding caves and we will take you to one of our favorite beaches in the area.
We provide lunch, snacks, water and transit back to your location, so you can have a stress-free day of exploring this beautiful part of Costa Rica with us.

Don’t Just Take Our Word For It!
WOW Experience! Outstanding Tour Guides We loved this tour! Usually we are more DIY on vacation, using info online to craft our own experience, but after a strong recommendation (3, actually), we decided to try Paddle 3 waterfall tour. It did not disappoint! Our guides were top notch, creating an outstanding and memorable experience that flowed beautifully. They provided entertaining and educational info along the route about Costa Rica and the areas through which we traveled. The spots we visited were picture perfect and easily navigable, especially since the guides seemed to be there at every step to ensure ease in our journey. I have a ridiculous fear of heights and did not expect i would be able to participate in the jumps into the various falls, but I did it!! One of our guides offered to do the jumps with me and he encouraged me in such a gracious way, i felt empowered to go for it- and it was AWESOME!! Special thanks to KEN for gifting me that joy and exhilaration. 🙂 And to all the crew- Ken, Corry, Mambo, Fabiola, Elian (photo), and Gummi (driver extraordinaire)- big kudos for your steady engagement and awareness, ensuring both safety and fun for all. Every one was great value added to this trip. Pura vida 100%.
