Nauyaca Waterfall Tour

The Nauyaca Waterfall Tour takes you to one of Costa Rica’s most impressive natural attractions, often described as a true “natural waterpark.” Upon arrival at the park, guests board a 4x4 vehicle that transports them to the trailhead, where a scenic jungle hike of approximately 25 minutes begins. Along the way, your bilingual guide shares insights into the surrounding flora, fauna, and local ecosystem, enriching the experience with cultural and natural context. The reward at the end of the trail is unforgettable. Nauyaca features two stunning tiers: the lower waterfall, rising approximately 75 feet, offers natural pools ideal for swimming and jumping, while the upper waterfall towers at around 150 feet, providing breathtaking views and additional areas to explore. For thrill-seekers, optional jump heights of 25 ft, 7 ft, and 5 ft add an extra dose of adrenaline—all completely voluntary. After enjoying ample time at the waterfalls to swim, relax, and take photos, the hike continues back to meet the tractor for the return climb. The experience concludes with a traditional Costa Rican lunch at a local restaurant before heading back to Manuel Antonio. This tour is ideal for active travelers. The hike to the waterfalls is approximately 1 km downhill, with the return covering the same distance uphill. While scenic and rewarding, it may be challenging for guests with knee issues or difficulty walking more than 2 miles. Guests with limited mobility should consider this before booking.
