Best Experience ever! - I had an amazing experience on this tour! Adrian, our tour guide, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and made the tour engaging by providing insights in both English and Spanish, ensuring everyone could follow along comfortably. The tour was well-organized, and the highlights were truly memorable. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Adrian as your guide!

Nice full day trip from San Jose - Its a nice full day trip. 1st stop at Doka, where we had nice buffet style breakfast, and Rachel our guide gave a full informative tour on how coffee is made. ( You learn to appreciate coffee more). You have the chance to taste different roast coffees and chocolates with coffee bean ( my favorite).
2nd stop, Poas crater. If you are lucky in those 20min you are allowed to be there, the visibility will be clear from clouds. Nice view from top. And last stop, La pas waterfalls with a tour of refugee animals, including buffet lunch on site.
Take with you water/ snacks, poncho/rain jacket and walking shoes.

Must do - Woww. Excellent tour and Jesus was a top notch guide. From the start , he was nice, fun and knowledgeable. From history , to animals, coffee and volcano, he had the answers. He might be the best guide , i have ever seen. The tour includes tons of things. We had a good view of the volcano, La paz is to die for and Doka plantion was super good. The only thing i would recommend them changing is the souvenir shop. The price of the fruits i paid was 3x of the other small vendors on the way. Support small farmers

Worth every penny - Absolutely lovely day, from start to finish. Guide and driver were both wonderful, and we had plenty of time at each place. We were very lucky and the view into the Poas volcano crater was clear, and although cloudy in the afternoon, it didn't start to rain until 10 minutes after we left the waterfall gardens. (OMG, so many stairs to see the waterfalls!)

Enjoyable day in CR - The guide Daniel was so kind & compassionate. He did not rush us. It was a very enjoyable trip. I didn’t feel like I was being herded like cattle. I met some very nice fellow tourist. We felt like a family. Even if it was just for a day. I would recommend this tour to friends & family. I felt safe as a solo traveler.

A Vibrant Hub or Culture and Nature - Recommendations for activity:
- Good shoes (lots of walking)
- Small backpack
I went to Costa Rica with my father and decided to do this activity. This activity is an all day affair, and covers a multitude of things. We learned about coffee at the Doka Estates— drank lots of coffee in the process. We then went to the Volcano. Keep in mind you might have to hang around for an hour to see the crater (we went during the rainy season). It was hard to get a visible view of the crater. We were able to get a good view for 30 seconds and that’s it. Later we checked out the waterfalls, which I must say was gorgeous! The lunch was included— it was a buffet style lunch. I would recommend doing this tour if you want to complete several activity’s in one day. My only gripe was the tour guide was a little overwhelming. He constantly checked in on us like we were kids, other than that, the tour was good.

Not for toodler /young kids. - The tour was good, beautiful places to visit. However, is not appropriate for kids/toodler like the post said. Is too long and specially the waterfalls garden is not safety. We have a good time but very stressfully to make sure that our daughter complete the tour following the timing and requirements. We never get access to the stroller that we bring. So if you are traveling with Toodler think again to pick this tour.
