Time Well Spent - We had a great time with our driver Andreas! It was a fairly long trek through the surrounding areas of San Jose, but the volcano itself was breathtaking. It was even emitting some nasty airs that had the mid-level alarm light blinking. All that for one low, low price! Take the trip, engage the driver, see the sights, and stop for delicious strawberries along the way.

Could be fun - Easy walk, with great view once you arrive. Hard hats and eruption shelters provided a touch of reality, but I would recommend this experience if you have time. However, we spent 1.5 hours in the am picking up passengers at hotels around the city.

Nature lives - It is worth seeing a crater of an active volcano from close and above. Includes 24-hour monitoring. I think the last time it erupted was in 2017. I found it very cool.

Punctuality, professionalism and kindness - We participated in the excursion to the Poas volcano and the Doka coffee plantation. We were the only travelers that day, so we had a car and a drive all to ourselves. Our guide, Adrian, was perfect. Great professionalism, punctuality, kindness. He made us discover many interesting aspects of the places visited. Really a positive experience, which we recommend.

Gods emerged, myths of the imaginary - When you go along the way you create a very big expectation, after all what you see in the pictures is very beautiful. When you get there and, see personally the volcano crater is spectacular, fantastic, amazing, extraordinary. The light blue, the color of the sea, makes the Poás volcano one of the great wonders of the Earth.

Adventure in the poas - It was an incredible experience , it is in a way a contact with nature that we can not appreciate in the daily living of the city , besides the tourists are received by a team of people who explain through videos the risks and what you should do in case of emergency. If you are going to poas do not forget to make your appointment online to enter

Still active! - Was disappointed that the lake doesn’t exist anymore, however crater still impressive. Walking on Hermosa beach was like walking on moon surface. Guide very knowledgeable.

poor customer service and risk of loss of payment - buyer beware. they didn't tell me it was cancelled until i emailed them to ask when they would pick me up. As of 1 week later they didn't refund me for a trip they cancelled. I am now submitting it to my credit card company to address.
