The volcano was amazing - I've never seen anything like it! We had plenty of stops for refreshments and I thought we had plenty to do. The waterfall was beautiful and our guide was happy to take photos. Finally, the coffee tour was super informative and we enjoyed a delicious lunch on site. I'd definitely recommend this tour!Written August 26, 2024

- Chuck M0 contributionsPerfect day! Definitely book this tour.What a perfect day from start to finish! The tour had excellent communication the night before so that we knew the driver’s name and license plate number. Carlos, our amazing driver and guide for the day, was prompt and welcoming. He ensured everyone had a safe and enjoyable time at the Starbucks coffee farm, Poas Volcano and the coffee farm tour. He provided helpful tips along the way like ordering your Starbucks drink before getting pictures because of the time they take, and where to stand at the volcano for optimal viewing without cloud cover. We loved the surprise wine and cheese sample stop that he made time for and how Carlos jumped in to help with demonstrations at so many of the stops. He is extremely knowledgeable and a wonderful guide! Thanks for creating amazing family memories for all of us. All four of us (2 parents and 2 grown children) loved it.Written July 13, 2024
- agustinad8080 contributionsIncredibleThe best tour and the best guide! The landscapes and the activities were amazing. Volcano Poás was breathtaking. I highly recommend itWritten July 6, 2024
- camerontN3660ZR0 contributionsA must try tourA great tour overall, the view of the crater was breath taking. Our guide Carlos, was engaging and made the tour an enjoyable one. Another highlight of the tour was the coffee farm where we learned about the manufacturing process. This was very interesting and we even got to taste fresh coffee. 10/10Written June 25, 2024
- 602makennag0 contributionsVolcano, waterfall, tourWow!! Really wonderful experience. Never felt rushed, very considerate of our needs, and Carlos paid attention to detail. Wonderful job making us feel safe and taking care of our needs. Doing this trip with a tour guide was definitely worth it!! So many more opportunity to learn, and expletive the country betterWritten June 24, 2024
- X575BBannab0 contributionsVery disappointing tourThe trip doesn’t cost this money. The tour to LaPaz didn’t include national park visit, no exploration or animals/birds watching, only waterfall view from the road side which doesn’t cost any fee. We were taken to volcano around 14:00, when it’s known to be cloudy. Other operators try to take people to there early in the morning while visibility is better but not this: He only shown us photos of volcano from his phone and shared with us… do we need tour for this? the tour itself was just accompanied by driver without guide information provided. Coffee tour to the local cooperative was the only interesting part. Van was also not comfortable for such tour. In general we were very disappointed. I would recommend to find another operators for similar budget who provide at least park visit and organize volcano visit properly, with professional guide accompanying you during the trip.Written June 20, 2024
- michaelpO8416LB0 contributionsVulcano, waterfall and coffee cooperativeThe trip was amazing - very well organized. Charly the driver - was excellent - avoided every traffic jam - and was very good in explaining - both in English and in Spanish. Event though - it was raining period in Costa Rica- it did not matter - because the outdoors (Vulcano and waterfalls) had been put early in the morning, when it was still dry. Afternoon we visited a Coffee farm with food, Coffee and a guided tour through coffee processing- excellent and very interesting. All in all - 5 stars and - highly recommend.

We had an excellent time boating and snorkeling with Byron and his boat captain. Byron was very attentive to our needs and the first snorkeling spot was fantastic - we saw sea turtles, starfish, dolphins, so many colorful fish, and even got to hold a pufferfish! One of my daughter's had never snorkeled in the open ocean before and was really scared at first, but Byron was wonderful and immediately helped us get to a calmer location closer to shore. The sea was a little rough the day we went and some cloudy/drizzly weather rolled in so we didn't get too close to shore to explore the caves where the surf was rough, but we still had a wonderful time and learned a lot about the area from Byron!

The tour was great!! The guides tailored the trip to what we liked to do and we were still able to do everything the trip itinerary had to offer!
The snorkeling was beautiful and in crystal clear, calm water. We went to two beautiful beaches, climbed up a hill to get a beautiful picture of the ocean and coast, and saw some caves!!
Knowing a little Spanish would be beneficial, but the guides were able to communicate and clearly describe what we’re doing and what’s around us.

This was a great tour! It ended up being a private tour for the 5 of us. We visited 2 secluded beaches, saw the sea caves, and went snorkeling in a great spot. The guides were very nice and laid back. We had a great experience

We had a really fun time on this snorkel adventure. We saw turtles, lots of fish and maybe a sting ray (?). While it was fun we didn't snorkel in any caves or go near any caves. Like I said, it was fun but not what we were expecting.

This was an excellent tour on a small boat, which ended up being a private tour for us because no one else booked it at the same time. The guides were very nice and knowledgeable. Pick up was a little tough because we misunderstood that the pickup is at the beach by boat, not by the road. The first spot for snorkeling was murky but the second place they took us was some of the best snorkeling we have ever done! We also saw caves, monkeys and did a little bit of fishing. Well worth the price!

Amazing trip! Our guide, and captain were knowledgeable, experienced, and fun. We fished, snorkeled, explored caves, hiked to a lookout, and had an entire stunning, secluded beach to ourselves. Highly recommend. 👍🏼👍🏼

We had an incredible day with Byron and the Captain. Byron took us snorkeling with sea turtles and we saw numerous, brightly colored fish species, sea urchins, Spider monkey and fed Coatimundi pineapple on a nearby island. The cave and hilltop hike was also an amazing experience.
It was a day filled with adventure and laughter.
Highly recommend this tour.
