Your best day in Costa Rica starts when you and your party are picked up at your hotel and delivers you to the 850-acre private river valley and the waterfall called El Encanto. You arrive and are outfitted with the latest in safety harnesses and trained by professional guides to conquer the 180 foot giant. A hike up the trail puts you on top in another world, where you are tethered to the mountain rappelling rope one by one and lead down the series of pools to the bottom and a cheering crowd. There is nothing like the feeling of leaning back into a tropical waterfall while troops of white face monkeys look on. A short hike to the rancho with toucans and macaws leads you to the rancho for fresh pineapple and juices in a Jurassic Park like setting.

The staff at Ocean Ranch are phenomenal and professional. Jesus and Luis were my guides for this tour and the rappel was an amazing experience. It was safe, fun, and awesome being in this beautiful ranch. Highly recommended! Most economical way to get here is via uber, fast and direct for solo travelers. Thank You owner Gregory and site manager Nick for your professionalism and welcoming me to Ocean Ranch.

Holy moly… Where to begin?! This was definitely some thing that was outside of my comfort zone, but I booked it because I knew my 18-year-old son would love it. The guides were super helpful in explaining what to do and what not to do. It’s very intimidating when you look down at 180 foot waterfall! I didn’t realize, or didn’t stop to use common sense, how much arm strength it takes. It took me forever, but I managed to make it all the way down!
