TOURS & ACTIVITIES

Poás Volcano and Doka Coffee Plantation
Your informative guide will transport you to Poás, one of the four active volcanoes in Costa Rica, and impart to you the knowledge of the creation of Costa Rica via these sleeping giants.  The crystal blue sulfur pools will amaze and enthrall you as you view this incredible landscape.  Once you’ve had your fill of the beauty that is Poás, you will head to another of Costa Rica’s trademarks: an authentic coffee plantation.  As one of the oldest hydro-powered wet mills in Costa Rica, this third generation coffee plantation has been voted the best coffee in the region.  In fact, 90% of its high quality coffee is sent directly to Starbucks.  You’ll learn how coffee is grown, picked, milled and ground. 

Hacienda Pozo Azul Canopy Adventure
This unique adventure combines horseback riding and a 12 zip line Canopy Adventure. You’ll begin your tour with a horseback ride along the Saripiqui River.  The hour ride brings you to the first platform of your canopy.  The 15-platform tour will zip you through the trees as you venture deeper and deeper into the forest.  Once you’ve worked up a hearty appetite, you will enjoy an authentic Costa Rican lunch with a gorgeous view of the Sarapiqui River.

Hacienda Pozo Azul Rafting Trip
After a scenic 45 minute car ride to the Hacienda Pozo Azul, you will saddle up for a one hour horseback ride along the Saripiquí River.  After your ride prepare yourself for an exciting two and half hour rafting trip along the Sarapiqui.  This tour offers Class I, II and III rafting for the entire family!  During the rainy season (May through December) the rafting is a bit more exciting with the higher water levels and better rapids.  The Sarapiqui River is the one of the cleanest and most scenic rivers in Costa Rica. Once you’ve worked up a hearty appetite, you will enjoy an authentic Costa Rican lunch with a gorgeous view of the Sarapiqui River.
