We had a great day with Roberto on our full day waterfall tour. We went to 3 waterfalls, where we cliff jumped, swam in the pools under the falls and went down the waterfall slide. It was a blast jumping into the pools. We stopped at the beach for a break and enjoyed some drinks (purchased) and swam in the warm ocean. Roberto arranged for our lunch to be at a tilapa restaurant and it was delicious. We sat with George, our driver, and had a wonderful chat with him. Our day was great ahd highly recommend Paddle 9.

Paddle 9 absolutely made our day. We went as a group of friends to the Nauyaca waterfall and they were the perfect mix of fun, knowledgeable, and professional. You could tell they really know the area and safety was always the priority, but they also genuinely looked like they were having just as much fun as we were. The whole experience felt easy, adventurous, and unforgettable.
