Trip Overview

After we pick you up, we will start our day by paddle boarding along one of Costa Rica’s most lush coastlines, before heading south towards the Osa Peninsula. We will visit 3 different waterfalls, which all have jumps (6 ft / 12 ft / 30 ft approx) as well as areas to swim and explore. One waterfall even has a 20 ft natural slide!

The walks to these locations are about 5-7 mins, and can be generally done by all ages as long as the person is semi-active. 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.

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 with us in the beautiful province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica.

My wife and I spend 3 days and 3 activities with Paddle 9 in Manuel Antonio last week. First was the mangrove kayak trip with Ariel and DK; next day was the Manual Antonio National Park guided hike with Ariel; and the third day was to the Nauyaca Waterfall with Mambo and Curry. Paddle 9 delivered on all 3 activities. They were prompt in the hotel pickup each day. Every guide was friendly, knowledgable, and professional. Safety was always the highest priority. We had a lot of fun and gained knowledge of the local history in each activity. We would not hasitate recommending Paddle 9 for any trips in the future!

Best tour in Costa Rica. No hay mucho más que decir. A último minuto llamamos como last resort para conseguir cupo al tour de las cascadas Nauyaca y con la mejor disposición fue posible conseguirlos. Desde la recogida hasta el final fue perfecto, los guías siempre con la mejor energía, muy conocedores y mucho amor por lo que hacen. Sin duda alguna volvería a contratar otro tour con ellos.
