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.

Don’t Just Take Our Word For It!


Took the family on the Eco-Chontales waterfall experience. Paddle 9 is a class act from the start, starting with the hotel pick-up where you learn Costa Rican trivia, history, and culture on the ride up. Once we arrived we were literally the only people at the waterfall for an adrenaline-rushing experience like no other. We would definitely recommend Paddle 9. Shout out to Ismael, Damian, and Matt… If you spend a day with these guys you will experience Pura Vida and learn what Costa Rica is all about!!!

Guides were very attentive and informative. Waterfalls are beautiful and guides provide ropes if you want to jump. I liked having a smaller group, just 9 of us. They took us a special way that cut off some walking in the hot sun. Lunch was good typico food.

We went to the waterfall (eko Chantales) on a Tuesday (when maanuel antonio is closed. It was the highlight of our trip so far.Ismael, our guide, was fascinating, telling us about Costa Rica, the culture, and the wild life. His amicable explanations were a major part of why we had the best time.The waterfalls are beautiful. You can go swimming, jump into pools and so much more. The tour comes with a lunch and fruit which was great. I really recommend it. Went with my 10 and 12 year old daughters.
