Awesome experience

I had an amazing time on the Coffee Volcano and Waterfall Tour! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, from the beautiful coffee plantation to the stunning waterfall views. The experience was well organized, informative, and a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. A special thank you to our guide, Ricardo, who was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the entire tour. He made everyone feel welcome, shared interesting information about the area, and ensured we had a great experience from start to finish. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Costa Rica. It was truly one of the highlights of my trip!

Great

Great, with our guide Ricardo we visited a coffee plantation, then we went to see the Poás volcano, and then the waterfalls. Then the local restaurant was very good and ended with a presentation by Katherine, who showed us how coffee is made from its harvest, culminating in a coffee tasting. The guide and driver Ricardo is very pleasant, and Katherine is the same. Pura Vida,

Well worth the experience!!

Super great tour, well worth it! The coffee farm and the process of a cup of coffee were and eye opening, the volcano was expectacular, and the water fall beautiful. Our tour guide Charly was very knowledgeable, and fun

Pura Vida!

I simply loved the day, it was like a trip with friends where we started the day without knowing each other and ended up exchanging numbers, stories and pictures. Ricky was just great, very positive and concerned if we were all having a good time. I loved all the hiking and I feel like I am a coffee expert now 😅

The best volcano and coffee tour in Costa Rica

I really liked the tour. It was a very good experience; we were lucky to see the craters of both volcanoes, had good weather, and found the coffee-making process super interesting. A special shout-out to the guide Charly; he was very kind, attentive, and explained many things to us. A large part of why the tour was so good was due to his willingness and professionalism.

Coffee, Volcanoes & Waterfalls — A Fantastic Day with a fantastic guide

Charly was an amazing tour guide and the tour was fantastic from start to finish. The day began at a coffee plantation where we learned how coffee is grown, hand-harvested, processed, and brewed in Costa Rica. Charly explained everything from peaberry beans and mucilage to parchment, green beans, and the traditional Café chorreado brewing method. This was really a two-part experience — the plantation tour first, followed later by the coffee process itself after an authentic Costa Rican lunch. In between, we visited Poás Volcano where Charly made sure we had great opportunities for photos of the active volcano and lagoon, before heading to La Paz Waterfall where we could stand beneath the waterfall itself. It’s a long day, and we hit some heavy traffic from a local strawberry festival in the mountains which delayed us about 45 minutes, but overall it was an authentic, informative, and memorable experience that I highly recommend.

Wonderful views and great guide

Great excursion from San José. We arrived at the volcano just in time for a beautiful view before it got too foggy. Carlos is a great guide and lots of fun!
