We really enjoyed our horseback riding experience at the foothills of the Arenal Volcano. Jarvin was our guide, and he was fantastic! 10 minutes into the ride and he spotted a sloth at the top of a tree. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife, the biodiversity and the history behind the famous volcano. He was an excellent guide, very attentive and kind. The horses were calm. I can't think of a better way to get up close and take in that breathtaking view of that majestic volcano. Highly recommend this tour and Jarvin. Thoroughly enjoyable!

It was our first time on a coffee farm and one of our first times on horses. From meeting in the morning we felt immediately comfortable with the guide, Celia, and the other guests. The first few moments on the horses took a little getting used to but the guides were very aware of everyone and quick to step in with a calming hand or words. The farm is absolutely beautiful and this was an amazing way to see it, from down by the waterfall all the way up to ‘the big tree’. Can’t recommend this tour or coffee farm more highly! If you don’t want to ride horses just coming for a walking tour or tasting will definitely be worth it. Thank you to Celia and all the others who made for a wonderful day!

We offer a combination of attractions! Firstly, the chocolate tour starts with the cultural and biological background of cocoa in the world and here in Costa Rica. It further introduces into the collecting, fermenting, grinding and finally the making of chocolate, the drink of the gods. Secondly, we talk about coffee and its importance for Costa Rica's economic and cultural development. We have a showroom with important coffee picking instruments and a better explanation of the process of coffee production. We want to show you how to make Café-Chorreado, the real Costa Rican practice of preparing coffee. Finally, we want to look at one of the most important aspects of Costarican culture and tradition, the trapiche: A sugar cane-mill run by two beautiful oxen (Fast & Furious). Here we grind sugar cane to extract the juice and make all kinds of local and delicious candy (Dulce, Sobado, Espumas and Miel) you can try. This is for sure the sweetest tour in the area.

Inclusions: Chocolate, Air-conditioned vehicle, Water, Tour Guide

An absolute must-do of you are near Manuel Antonio. Brian has an incredible eye for spotting all kinds of animals in the dark. He was kind, smart, and friendly. He was dedicated to helping us see all kinds of animals. We saw kinkajous, scorpions, frogs, snakes, spiders, and all kinds of birds.
