    Coffee tour

    This tour was an unexpected surprise. Our tour guide Raymond was amazing. Both funny and informative. We learned so much about the process and even got to make our own chocolate bars. The grounds are spotless and beautiful, we even got to see a couple sloths on our tour. Highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing this with us! 😊 We’re so happy to hear that your visit turned out to be such a lovely surprise. Raymond will be thrilled to know you enjoyed his humor and learned so much along the way. And what a treat to spot a couple of sloths during the tour! We hope making your own chocolate bars was a memorable part of the experience and that you took a little piece of Costa Rica home with you. Warm wishes from all of us at Don Juan Tours Arenal!

    We will never think of chocolate and coffee the same way ever again…

    This was exactly what we had hoped to experience when we planned our trip to Costa Rica. We learned so much about the coffee and chocolate production process. We had an excellent guide, SERGIO, who had a great mastery of the English language. He was able to explain everything in detail, never at a loss for the right word. He was able to be funny, tell jokes, and interact with us easily as he explained the cultivation, growth, harvesting, and processing of the cacao and coffee beans. All along our walking tour Sergio was also able to point out birds, wildlife, and plants of interest, as well as explain their importance to the ecology and environment. This was a nice bonus. He wasn’t just reciting a script, but really knew what he was talking about. The two highlights were making our own chocolate bars as Sergio talked us through the process, and watching him roast a small batch of coffee beans, explaining their different roasting levels and ultimately letting us making a pot of brewed coffee from those beans for us to sample. A knowledgeable, passionate, fluent tour guide made all the difference, but this is definitely a don’t-miss experience in Costa Rica.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review! 🍫☕🌿 We love hearing that your experience changed the way you see coffee and chocolate. Sergio will be delighted to know how much you enjoyed his explanations, sense of humor, and all the little discoveries about the local wildlife and plants along the way. Making your own chocolate bars and tasting freshly roasted coffee are such special parts of the experience, and we’re happy those moments stood out to you. Thank you for recommending us and for making Don Juan Tours Arenal part of your Costa Rica adventure. We’d love to welcome you back someday! Warm wishes from our whole team!

    Randall was an excellent tour guide. Patient, informative and kind. Would recommend for a wide variety of ages—-even my 17 year old liked it!

We especially love hearing that your 17 year old enjoyed it too! 🏔️😊 It means a lot to us to know that guests of different ages can learn something new and have a great time together. Thanks for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back to Don Juan Tours Arenal someday!

    Excellent guide and learning tour!

    Great tour and excellent guide. We learned all about coffee and chocolate, and had multiple coffee samples and even made our own chocolate bar from scratch. Tasty!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for joining us! We’re so glad you enjoyed learning about coffee and chocolate and getting to taste different coffees along the way. And making your own chocolate bar from scratch? That’s always such a fun part of the experience! ☕🍫 We hope you left with some delicious memories of Costa Rica, and we’d love to welcome you back to Don Juan Tours Arenal someday!

    Coffee and Chocolate Tour in La Fortuna: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.

    How much does Coffee and Chocolate Tour in La Fortuna cost?

    +

    Prices start at $62 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Fortuna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Coffee and Chocolate Tour in La Fortuna take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Fortuna is not rushed.

    Is Coffee and Chocolate Tour in La Fortuna worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 896 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Coffee and Chocolate Tour in La Fortuna?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Coffee and Chocolate Tour in La Fortuna suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Coffee and Chocolate Tour in La Fortuna?

    +

    Around 314 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Fortuna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Fortuna and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Coffee and Chocolate Tour in La Fortuna start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Fortuna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in La Fortuna?

    +

    On Outty we rank every La Fortuna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Upper Balsa River White Water Rafting Class 3/4 in Costa Rica, White Water Rafting Class II and III, Authentic Coffee and Chocolate Tour at North Fields. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit La Fortuna?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in La Fortuna?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Coffee and Chocolate Tour in La Fortuna?

    +

    Included: Chocolate and coffee-tasting; and Professional Guide. Not included: Gratuities; and Hotel Pick Up and Drop Off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Coffee and Chocolate Tour in La Fortuna?

    +
