5 star ratingWOW 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%.
