Reviews: Hacienda Café Doka, Volcán Poas & Jardines de La Catarata La Paz
Guest User2024-06-27
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.

We were in San Jose for a conference and had one free day to see some of Costa Rica and have some fun. This was the perfect tour. It was a full day and all three locations were beautiful, interesting, and diverse. Olman, our tour guide was knowledgeable and gave us plenty of time at each location. He was my favorite tour guide I've ever had. I could not recommend this tour more highly if you are looking for a way to see the beauty of Costa Rica around San Jose in one day.
Reviews: Wildlife Refuge La Paz Waterfall Gardens Day Trip from San Jose
Guest User2024-03-06
La Paz Waterfall and wildlife adventure was the highlight of my trip to Costa Rica. What a beautiful property. Set in the jungle, LA Paz waterfalls are stunning in their beauty and grandor. And, the animals in sanctuary are excellently cared for. What a wonderful property. (Lots of stairs to see the waterfalls, but you can bypass them.)
Reviews: Full Day Guided Tour in Copacabana and Isla del Sol

Bolivia was the first leg of my trip - after a few days in La Paz I started my month-long trip with Bolivia/Peru Hop. (Peru Hop is a separate review). We were picked up at our hotel at the break of dawn and drove for a few hours to Copacabana where we had lunch before heading to Isla del Sol for an 1 and 1/2 hour hike at over 4,000 meters. Afterward, we headed to the Peruvian border. Abner our guide was present at every step of the trip, providing us with important information, and making sure everyone was comfortable and well-informed while being considerate friendly, and professional. 5-star services!

For the itinerary, I'm not sure this trip could have been run any better. Emerson and the team were EXTREMELY organized and communicative, making sure everyone was on time so we got to every point on the itinerary on schedule and most importantly got home at a decent hour (~10pm). The bus was private for our tour, as were the boats, and it was very comfortable. Regarding the trip itself, it's a lot of time in the bus and on boats. The hike on Isla del Sol was very nice. There isn't a lot of time to sit and relax, but at the same time there isn't a whole lot to do. The only recommendation I'd have is it would be great if there were recommendations on some of the best photo points on the trip.
Reviews: Irazú Volcano, Orosi Valley & Lankester Gardens from San José

A great tour; we visited all the places listed. Perhaps there wasn't enough time to explore everything: one hour certainly wasn't enough time in Lankester Gardens.
