This tour was well worth the money! Donald was an awesome tour guide with 15 years of experience. He knows so much about the process at the coffee plantation, the volcanoes and the waterfalls. He taught us a little Costa Rican, as well as telling us about the country while on the bus.

Even though we are huge coffee lovers, we had no idea what the process involved. I only have more of an appreciation for coffee farmers now. The breakfast was excellent too!

It happened to be cloudy at the Poas volcano, so we didn’t see much. Instead we hiked up 160 feet to the other crater and saw the lake. Some of our group stayed at the original crater long enough to see the clouds part for a good view of the crater. We regret missing that a little. Note to people on the tour – when the guide says meet at a certain time, be there. Don’t make him come looking for you because you made everyone wait 20 minutes!

The waterfall area was serene. It started with several “houses” of wildlife in which you could get up close to a variety of native wildlife. An excellent lunch buffet was next, offering traditional CR dishes as well as pizza, hot dogs and salad. The tour ended with the falls, which were gorgeous. Donald knew the tour so well, that he could tell us how many steps we would descend and ascend.

In addition to Donald’s great tour guide skills, our driver was amazing – some of the roads were narrow, on a cliffside and full of potholes. I never once felt scared or unsafe.
