Day Trip out of San Jose - A great day trip out to see the Volcano, some local wildlife and some local view spots including a couple of great Waterfalls. You end the day at a Thermal spa that has a swim up bar. The host Oscar was one of the best guides ive met in my travels and he took the time to get to know everyone including their names and where they were from.

Amazing packed tour! - Fernando is the best host! He made this experience perfect by being so informative and going the extra mile to make sure we tried new foods, saw beautiful flora and fauna, ate good, and overall had fun. I would definitely do this again and especially if he is my guide

A great trip for the older set. - You might not see the volcano but you’ll see so much more. Too late I found the hotter pool at the beautiful paradisio hot springs. Lunch and supper were good and unexpectedly we saw a napping sloth. On the way the landscape was lovely with miles of fruit and coffee plantations. Our guide was great.

We thought the tour was... - We thought the tour was great! Oscar was wonderful and made our trip extra fun! For not having a ton of time in Costa Rica, we got to see so much in one day! It was a great experience and so glad we did this.
