Highlight of our trip. Plenty of hiking and nature. Raquel was great. The waterfalls were absolutely stunning
We had a great experience on this tour and would definitely recommend it. The hotel pickup was perfectly on time, and both our guide, Raquel, and the driver were friendly, professional, and helpful throughout the entire day. Our first stop was at a coffee plantation, where we learned about the coffee-making process. We also had some free time to enjoy breakfast before continuing the tour. Next, we visited the Poás Volcano National Park, where we were lucky enough to see the main crater and Botos Lagoon. Our final stop was La Paz Waterfall Gardens. Raquel gave us interesting explanations about the different animals in the wildlife sanctuary, and afterwards we had time to walk the trails and enjoy the beautiful waterfalls. It was a long day because of the driving, but everything was well organized and it was definitely worth it. A great way to visit some of Costa Rica's highlights in a single day.
This tour packs a lot into one day and it's all a ton of fun! Raquel is a super knowledgeable guide. The coffee plantation visit was interesting and the coffee was delightful. The volcanic crater was really cool-- getting to the viewing spot was a short hike so you will want to wear comfy shoes. It's also dependent on cloud cover. Fortunately we lucked out and it was visible. Finally, the wildlife sanctuary and waterfalls were wonderful. The sanctuary has tons of animals that were rescued from the exotic pet trade. The waterfalls were gorgeous. Getting to them meant going up and down many steep and slippery stairs but it was very worth it.
Nice comfy air conditioning van. Great organization and communication. Wonderful guides the whole day. Book it now you won't regret it!
I RECOMMEND THIS EXCURSION 1000/10!!!! If you enjoy a bit of hiking plus, animal sancuaries, you would love it!. The tour guide was extremely friendly and knowledgable.
We had an absolutely wonderful time on this trip and it was well worth the money. Everything we did on this trip was memorable and meaningful--from coffee plantation tour, volcano crater viewing, animal rescue center, and waterfall gardens. We also had a terrific guide, Raquel/Rachel. She was especially knowledgeable and made sure we had a great time. All in all, I'd say don't miss this trip and you would be happy to have Raquel as your guide.
Best full day tour of Poas, coffee plantation, and La Paz waterfalls. Go with Olman!
Wonderful experience. Nicely organized. Raquel & Olmann were amazing. Had a great time at volcano and farm, lunch ok not great but awesome overall
I had a wonderful day trip to Poás Volcano and La Paz Waterfall Gardens. The itinerary was very well organized and perfectly paced, so we never felt rushed. Our guide, Raquelle, was amazing — very knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. We were a small group of only six people, which made the experience feel relaxed and personal. We were lucky to see both the volcano and the lagoon, although that depends on the weather. La Paz was also beautiful, with the animals and the waterfalls making it a great mix of nature, learning, and a bit of exercise before heading back. Highly recommended!
This was great fun and a real experience. We were lucky enough to see the volcanoes as the clouds parted. Our tour guide (Rachel) was great and was very friendly Anna easy going.
