About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- pearbearbass0 contributionsHalf day hidden waterfall tourThis tour is run by very knowledgeable and caring guides who make sure you stay with them from start to finish. It is as informative as it is amazing. Nick and Pedro took us on a half day tour of secret waterfalls you will never get to see in this beautiful area. You will have to hike through the jungle and wearing the correct shoes are a must - which you can rent from them. Our group whom we’re paired with us simply because they booked the same time slot as us were fantastic. We made friends, took photos of one another, helped one another when there was a need. I’ll be straightforward, it’s not the easiest of hikes but it is doable and you have to follow instructions given in advance and keep your attention focused on the path. You walk through water, on rocks, on and around trees. Being in decent shape is a plus and due to that I handled this trip without incident. Go, I promise you will enjoy it. But have the right shoes and attire they suggest. Wear sunscreen and bug spray. It will be a highlight of your trip.Written 30 December 2024
- 587maxims0 contributionsFun tour!We had a great time during this tour! Our guide, Jefferson, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He told us a lot about the surroundings and took some fun pictures! The waterfalls were also nice to see and refreshing to swim inWritten 4 December 2024
- X4949TTlaurentd0 contributionsGreat morning at Secret FallsWe had an amazing time with Jeferson, super friendly and he let us adventure a bit on our own and took loads of amazing pictures! He's very knowledgeable about the surrounding and general history of the place - and all in fluent English. The activity itself is really fun (and very wet), we had a great morning exploring and having fun in the waterfalls! One of the highlight of the activity was when he took us to a platform where you could jump in the river from a few meters high, was amazing! Would definitely recommend this activity!Written 10 October 2024

- vsanjit0 contributionsNice easy hike with little/no crowdsBoth the hikes were great. Jefferson was a great guide. Took care of us well. Off the beaten path for sure. We encountered no one else during the hike. Very tranquil and nice.Written 3 July 2024
- Kemper L0 contributionsAMAZING tripThe trip was INCREDIBLE!! The waterfalls were beautiful and our guide, Bianca, knew so much about the area’s plants and animals. Swimming in the falls was so much fun and an experience we couldn’t have had anywhere else. We did the morning trip and it was a perfect half day. Also, we were coming from the Argentina side and they picked us up at the border, so that might be an option if you’re crossing for the trip. Definitely recommend!!!! El viaje fue INCREÍBLE!! Las cataratas eran bellísimas y nuestra guía, Bianca, sabía tanta de las plantas y animales del área. Nadando en las cataratas fue tan tan divertido y una experiencia que no podríamos haber tenido en cualquier otro lugar. Hicimos lo de la mañana y fue un gran empieza al día. Vinimos del lado Argentino y nos recogieron a la frontera; eso podría ser opción si está cruzando por el viaje. Recomiendo por cierto!!!!Written 22 June 2024
- christinapH1998WX0 contributionsAwesome experience!We took the “secret falls” tour during our trip to Iguazu, and it was so much fun! Our guide was very helpful and picked us up at the Brazilian border since we were staying on the Argentina side. Really cool to get to swim in the water!Written 22 June 2024
- 272henningf0 contributionsGreat tourTook the half day trip in the afternoon. From leaving the hostel to returning was about 3,5 hours. The first trail is through the rain forest to a very nice water fall into the Iguacu River where you can also take a swim. The landscape is absolutely amazing there. The second is through the forest and along 3 water falls. Also quite nice. We ate some fresh tangerines from the tree there. The guide was amazing and spoke German, a nice plus. I was there in the off season, so nobody else was on the trails or the trip. Which was very nice. All in all very worth it and a recommendation.Written 8 June 2024
- 852pavann0 contributionsMUST DO!We did the afternoon and evening Secret falls tour with the Luau at the end. It was brilliant! Of my Brazil trip, I place this with top 3 activities we did along with watching the parade in Sambadrome hospitality box and dinner at Marius Degustare. Of course, the Waterfalls most amazing but in terms of activities, this is was immersive and fun.Written 25 February 2024
- Liza Š0 contributionsA must visitWe took the half day tour and we really enjoyed it. The tour guides were also very friendly and spoke perfect english. There were no issues with hotel pickup, they sent us more information 1 day before on whatsapp. The tour consists of walking along rivers and stopping about 5 times to swim and walk under waterfalls. It's best to walk around in swimsuits and open sporty shoes, because you will get wet. It is a very easy walk, not at all demanding, but you do have to be careful and watch where you're stepping. The water is dark from the iron in the red soil, so you have to be careful not to hit any rocks while swimming. In the event of an accident, they accompany you to a private hospital and cover all the fees. The tour guides also take photos of you all the time and send them to you on Whatsapp with no extra charge. Thanks again to our tour guides and driver for the great tour!Written 24 February 2024
- jamiewG7290HA0 contributionsExcellent day, excellent guides 🙌🏻Brilliant day out with great guides, well worth the money. Would recommend to anyone. I really enjoyed it. The full day tour is definitely the way to go.Written 21 February 2024
- vlcpereira0 contributionsRecommended!We did the shortest trail and it was short and accessible. We could swim in small rapids and pools in the river. I wish I had more time and I wouldn't have done one of the longer trails. I saw photos and it looked totally worth it for the views and the waterfalls.Written 15 February 2024
- C W0 contributionsAmazing hike - This was the most fun I had along the Iguassu RiverThe hike was really interesting - It was fun to cross creeks and we followed the river up and down. There were lots of mini waterfalls to look at and wonderful photo opportunities. This was a really exciting and adventurous hike for me. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone who likes hiking. Jeferson is a wonderful hiking guide and great photographer! He took care of us (even me, the amateur hiker). Jeferson was so kind to loan me a hiking stick to make my tour easier. As a solo traveler, he helped me take so many photos. If you can walk ~20,000 steps a day without problems, I strongly encourage you to try this excursion. You won’t have thousands of people sharing the same spot so it’s really special.Written 13 October 2023
- annadS3365NT0 contributionsYou need to do this tour!Wow! I don't know how to put this experience into words but I will remember this tour forever. We had the pleasure of having Roberto and William as our tour guides. Roberto spoke perfect English and had a lot of information. The highlights included every waterfall. You get to get in, under, around all of them. We even got to jump off a small cliff into the river below. We sat in a pool at the top of a 40 foot waterfall and then went down to see it as it emptied into the Iguazu river. We encountered a thunderstorm which seemed to make it even more authentic. It is close to town but it feels like you are in a remote jungle. You can tell our guides love their jobs as they got to play in the water with us. You need to wear clothes that you can get wet, and sturdy water/hiking shoes. The trails are somewhat rustic and challenging but worth the hike every time. Thank you Roberto and William for a fantastic day!Written 19 September 2023
- desertpatrick0 contributionsIncredible beauty, poor operations, no customer service.This site, while incredibly beautiful with stunning photo opps. Now, we booked the trail hike and the boat excursion. The trail hike path is far to narrow for the crowds and we're here off season. Upon finishing the riverboat portion we emerged, having to walk up the final part as there was only one smallish elevator and at least one hundred people in line. Once at the top, there was no signage directing you to the boat ride, wandering around trying to ask for help, most staff didn't speak English. The one fellow who did, directed us to the wrong bus stop. The boat excursion, once we found it, was really the only professionally organized part of our visit. Additionally, the road thru the park had several areas of construction requiring single lane traffic causing unnecessary wait times in the bus, as I only saw one fellow with a shovel doing any kind of work. Finally, the restaurant on the way out had possibly some of the worst food I've seen in some time. I took it back to the counter and told them it was horrible, they just gave me a blank stare. Almost not worth going based on the operational circus and lack of any customer service.Written 17 August 2023

The tour revolves around 4 trails, around 10 waterfalls. All trails are immersed in the forest and end at waterfalls.
As the tour is long, I recommend that you be prepared as you may experience difficulties in some parts. However, the guides are very attentive and manage to manage the group well, ensuring that everyone finishes the journey in their own time and motivating those who begin to get discouraged due to tiredness.
Speaking of the guides, I have to thank Roberto, Jefferson and Kauano who without them the tour would not be the same, as in addition to having a lot of practical and theoretical knowledge of the trails, local fauna and flora, they were a comic relief throughout the entire route (in addition to take lots of photos and record lots of videos without charging anything for it).

Roberto was my tour guide for the day and what an amazing tour guide he is! He knows the area pretty well, not only did he take his time explaining all the fauna but he was patient and fun at the same time, we visited all the waterfalls and much more! I would definitely recommend this tour and also Roberto for the guide, he speaks english very well (which is a rarity in Brazil) and also spanish and Portuguese, you will have a blast with him, worth every penny!

- A great experience!! They were super courteous in responding via WhatsApp (explaining about the packages, payment, address, group with the guide the day before).
- we closed the package 1 month before and when we were on the trip we saw by the weather forecast that exactly the day would be rainy, we sent messages and they let us anticipate 1 day so that we could enjoy the day with sun
- Has the van that took us to the spot of the waterfall trail, offered water, security equipment and at the end took us to the hotel door
- worth all the waterfalls!!
- Our guide (André) was PERFECT, explained everything, gave photo tips and helped on the trail. He made our whole day tour mto delicious
Worth every penny!!!! Just do

On 14/Nov/23, I booked the full day tour for two people, which would be done on 02/Dec/23. I paid R$480.00 via PIX, as they offered me a 20% discount for paying in advance.
The day before the tour (01/Dec) I contacted WhatsApp to confirm the departure time and the person who answered me (probably Luana) informed me that the tour was mistakenly scheduled for 03/Dec/23. There was probably a typing and checking error and, unfortunately, it was not possible for us due to it being the date of the return flight to our city.
Well, the attendant said that she would try to find a team to assist us on December 2nd... hours later, they got back to me saying that it would also not be possible to assist me on Saturday (02) and SHE TOLD ME that she would cancel and refund WITHOUT COST. Then he asked for my PIX, which I informed.
But since then, I've had no response: no one responds on WhatsApp, there's no contact phone number, no one responds by email... and I'm really upset, since you're not responding to me about a solution that you proposed.
In the beginning, they were attentive, but after payment, they were completely negligent. I do not recommend!

One of the best tours I have ever done in my life. And our guide Roberto is absolutely fantastic. I booked a full day trip, and in the afternoon, it was just me and Roberto (VIP tour). We had amazing lunch (price included) and we swam a lot in rivers and lakes and waterfalls. He has shown me great passion and respect for our mother nature, the river, the fungi and how to protect the great nature (by picking up trash along our hiking trip). Then he nicely took me to the airport with a free ride. I strongly recommend this tour to its maximum.

On 10/10/23 we purchased the full day tour to the waterfalls for 10/26/23. Payment was made via PIX, as a 20% discount was offered for advance payment. On 10/25 the tour was confirmed for the following day at 8:40am and on the day of the tour at 7:00am we received a message saying that the tour in the morning had been canceled due to the guide's health problems and that they would try arrange another guide for the afternoon. At lunch time they sent another message apologizing for not being able to find another guide and that the tour was cancelled. They promised to return 100% of the amount paid, but 45 days have passed and until now the company has not returned the money, showing total disrespect for the consumer.

The activities promoted by Secrect Falls are unparalleled. I took the tour all day, in a real immersion in the Atlantic forest, knowing places that are indeed secret.
Our Guide Jefferson, very prepared to lead the adventure, besides always concerned with our safety, has a lot of mastery in the explanations, which for me was fundamental.
I highly recommend the services of Iguassu Secrect Falls for those who are willing to venture, take a lot of cold bath rsrsrs this attractive is for you.
Obg, guia Jefferson. Be careful not to forget the dragonite of the next kkkkkkk

The tour was great considering all aspects (security, learning, food, landscapes, etc...). I recommend dms, mainly on account of the Guide (Kauano) and the driver (Celso) who were very friendly and punctual! Unique experience! We swam in the Iguaçu river, jumped in one of the rivers, entered the waterfalls, and learned a little more about the local geology and fauna. The trails are not that easy, but definitely feasible. We went to a restaurant near the waterfalls of homemade food to great will tbm!

It is an excursion to reconnect with nature. The team was very organized, informed in a timely manner of the pick-up location and took the group to the campsite. At the campsite we took the safety equipment and drove by car to where we were going to start the road.
2 guides accompanied us, one in front and one behind. They are very knowledgeable about the area, showing us the route and verifying that the path is safe.
They are really secret waterfalls, where literally only the people in the group are.
It is a walk of connection with nature and with yourself.
Lunch was very delicious. Homemade food that I enjoyed very much.
At the end they return you to the hotel.
It is a 100% personalized and natural excursion. I really enjoyed this ride.

There were 4 trails in total, 3 I considered light and one was moderate.
As it was in the low station, it was just me and Guide F. Elen. The Guide was pretty nice.
Lunch was in a restaurant with homemade food where one could eat at will. Good food.
The trails are very beautiful, being the one's trail, in the Atlantic forest, the most beautiful. In the end, we saw some monkeys.
It's worth doing.
