Leave me stranded on the road and again on the tour
Amazing drive into the mountains, the driver was extremely competent and steered us through all the washouts on the road. Let's start at the beginning...... Mr Smarmy, my wife's description, met us at the desk that they operate from at SECRETS Huatulco. He sold us on the tour, Advertised price $127 person. Charged $340 CDN. Picked up on time by a wonderful driver, who I will not name as he should not be smeared by the companies poor performance. We experienced some difficulty on the trip up, the radiator overheated, we had to use the bottled water to refill the radiator, but ultimately ran out of drinking water and had to pull off the road. Our driver phoned in our dilemma and was told that the van that was ahead of us would unload and return to pick us up to continue the trip. No problem....sat on the edge of the road for 40 minutes. In the meantime our driver informed me that 1. the company was sending up a mechanic to repair the 10 passenger van, and that he requested that they send an additional van should the repair not work, Fell on deaf ears apparently. Were picked up by the 10 passenger van that had dropped off their clients and returned for us. GREAT! wait, hold on, our driver was told to wait for the broken down van so there were only 2 of the 3 guides available for us at the tour. SO, while we were on the tour, we were a party of 25 being led by 2 guides. GREAT! wait, hold on some of the members of the tour found the tour was beyond their abilities and one of the 2 guides had to go with them to offer assistance. (Could the tour operator have indicated that a portion of the tour was difficult for people with mobility issues? This will come up in a different Tour review {Waterfalls} arranged by the same tour company). So, 1 guide leading a tour for 20+ people on a narrow trail. Approximately half of the clients could not see/hear the information that was provided on the hike in the plantation. We get back for the tour of the production side of the operation. GREAT! wonderful information and a pleasant time accompanied by a nice lunch! One of the tour vehicles (1 of 3, a Chevy Suburban) returns to town, leaving 20 clients and 1 tour bus(10 passenger). We are given random information, if any at all, and both groups are waiting for resolution. At about 5 pm we are told that the van will be going back to town and that a van was about 20 minutes away from picking us up. They did not say that they meant 20 minutes after 6, almost an hour and a half away) COOL!. We get to drive down the mountain, in the dark, with road washouts, and at one point an impulsive on-coming driver that decided to try and beat us at one of the washouts. Many of our passengers were terrified at the near Head-On accident avoided only by our amazing drivers skills. Did I fail to mention how amazing the tour was, how wonderful our hosts were, how for 4 generations they have operated this coffee plantation? How our host took me on a tour of his barns were he has followed in his families 4 generation history of raising roosters for cock fighting? Not disclosed in the tour information. SO, we were left on highway, left at the plantation for about 3 hours, the other group delayed by about 1 hour until someone came up with a decision. Made contact with NexusTravel to enquire about some accommodation for our travails. (Had already booked and paid for a waterfall tour). Met with RENE, their representative, who was rude, inconsiderate and demeaning. Left with no satisfaction, with the promise of a free private transport to the airport, which we already had through WestJet Vacations. In conclusion, Shame on WestJet for using this tour company, arranging this tour of a coffee plantation/cock fighting breeder as one of their tour choices. Shame on me for not researching this tour operator, but based on the fact that Secrets had a desk for them just off their main entrance, I felt I was dealing with a credible organization.

Fantastic hosts, incredible coffee, stunning mountain views.
Oscar & Pablo were excellent hosts. Oscar picked us up from our hotel and drove us up to Pluma Hidalgo with a stop in Santa Maria, Huatulco, to see the church & a market. Oscar provided plenty of local knowledge and Pablo educated us and our small group about his family's coffee plantation. The coffee is incredible and I couldn't leave without taking some home. Highly recommended. Would do again. Latte, the puppy, stole the show.

Fun, enriching and educational - the coffee and lunch were great too!
We spent a lovely day with our guide from Top Tours Huatulco, Abigail or Abby. Abby spoke English well and we were able to use Google Translate a few times when the subject or works were more complicated. Abby also was patient and helpful with our Spanish and we were appreciative! We stopped to explore two towns before arriving at the Pablo's coffee cafe and plantation. Abby was welcoming and shared history and other helpful information about the area. The coffee plantation tour was educational and interesting. We learned a lot and will appreciate our coffee even more after this experience. Lunch back at the cafe was peaceful and delicious with even more information about roasting, distribution and sales. Thank you to Abby (and Pablo) for a wonderful day. We would book again with Abby.

More than anticipated
This is was a great experience. While the coffee tour is the main attraction, the trip up the mountain was really cool. We were able to stop and see the different churches and town squares along the way. The food is 200 pesos, but it is well worth it, as it is a great home-cooked meal. The guides were great and we really enjoyed their hospitality.

DO IT!
A real must do. This was not only an incredibly insightful day of coffee discoveries but a perfect way to discover the Oaxaca mountains, eat top top caliber food, and learn about the Oaxaca region more generally. Oscar and Pablo are an incredible duo, each bringing their own expertise to the day. Stop debating and do this!!

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Coffee Plantation Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Huatulco.
How much does Coffee Plantation Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Huatulco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Coffee Plantation Experience take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Huatulco is not rushed.
Is Coffee Plantation Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Huatulco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Coffee Plantation Experience?
+
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 Plantation Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Coffee Plantation Experience?
+
Around 4 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 Huatulco 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 Huatulco and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Coffee Plantation Experience 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 Huatulco 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 Huatulco?
+
On Outty we rank every Huatulco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour to Copalitilla Magical Waterfalls from Huatulco with admission included, Huatulco Ocean Eco Adventures, Huatulco: Waterfalls, Zipline & Oaxacan Food. 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 Huatulco?
+
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 Huatulco?
+
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.
