Best Waterfall Tour in Costa Rica

By Jessica Jørneas • 13 Jan, 2024
Best Waterfall tour in Costa Rica - Full Day Waterfall Adventure with Paddle 9 If you are spending some time in the Quepos/Manuel Antonio area of Costa Rica and want to see (and jump off of) some of the area's magnificent waterfalls- then a full day waterfall tour is well worth it! Here is an outline of my full day waterfall tour with Paddle 9: I started my day with delicious breakfast at Villas Jacquelina , my eco hotel here in Quepos. After finishing breakfast, I was picked up by my guides directly at my hotel. I was immediately introduced to all the guides and the rest of my group, a family, an elder couple and a younger couple. This warm introduction made me feel very welcome, as I was traveling solo. The tour consists of 3 waterfalls, a lunch, and a beautiful beach stop to end your day. The drive is about an hour to the first waterfall, during which, the guides gave detailed information about the area, its history, and extensive knowledge about its wildlife and agricultural traits. This made the drive very pleasant, along with the stunning views along the coastal road.

    The easiest way to get to the national park is to schedule a guided tour with Villas Jacquelina.  Guides pick you up from Villas Jacquelina and can also provide transportation back to the hotel if desired. If you don't want a guided tour,  Manuel Antonio National Park is a short walk and bus ride away.  Quepos main bus station has busses that drop you right next to the national park. Buses leave every 15 minutes, go back a forth all day long, and cost around 350 colones or 50 cents USD.

  • Why stay in Quepos over Manuel Antonio?

    While Quepos and Manuel Antonio both have their benefits and disadvantages, Quepos is our choice for the best place to stay when in the area.  In Quepos, you are within walking distance of grocery stores, retail shopping, oceanfront parks, and Pez Vela Marina. Manuel Antonio tends to be a lot busier, a lot more expensive, and much harder to get around. If exploring on foot is important to you, better to stay with Villas Jacquelina in Quepos.

  • How far is Villas Jacquelina from Manuel Antonio National Park?

    We are about 7 kilometers from the national park entrance. Most guests either drive or take the bus that will take you from Quepos central directly to near the park entrance. Even if you do decide to stay in Manuel Antonio, you will likely have to take the same bus to get to the park as walking in Manuel Antonio is very difficult. Staying in Manuel Antonio, (right next to the National park) is a great option but a lot more expensive. 

  • Are there any animals on site?

    Yes, we have a security dog on site. His name is Leo and he is big but also super nice and does not bite.  We can keep him locked up if any guest has an issue.

weather forecast in

Quepos, Costa Rica

Weather in the Quepos and Manuel Antonio area of Costa Rica is not always what it seems and can be difficult to plan for. During rainy season months, weather forecasts almost always project daily rain but  don't be fooled. Most of the year, rainy days start out sunny, hot and dry and end up with a few showers that often pass pretty quickly. Our recommendation is to not let rain ruin your plans. Rain drops come down warm and showers can quickly become hot sun that can quickly dry you. Embrace the tropical rainforest around you and never pass up an opportunity to dance in the rain.
