You should try it when you will be in Moshi
Perfect experience. I booked the excursion at the last moment and manager confirmed it very fast. 1) They picked up us from the hotel by motorcycles to Materuni village and we had an easy hiking to an amazing waterfall. We saw lots of beautiful plants during the way (bananas, guavas, avocados, passion fruits and others). Also you can see Kilimanjaro on one of the spot if the sky would be without clouds. 2) We became participants of preparing coffee from “bush” to “coffee in the mug” to the songs of the villages residents, it was really amazing. My boyfriend doesn’t like coffee at all, but here he tasted it and said that this one was yummy :) 3) We’ve had a traditional lunch - stewed bananas with potato, rice, beans, beef chew, spinach and fruits. It was tasty. Also you can try banana beer for extra pay. We bought some packages of coffee there as a souvenir; you can find some pictures of banana leaves and paintings there as well. In the end they brought us back to the hotel; excursion lasted around 5 hours.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your detailed and wonderful review! 😊 We’re delighted you enjoyed the waterfall hike, traditional Chagga coffee experience, and delicious local lunch. It’s especially lovely to hear that your boyfriend enjoyed our coffee too! ☕️❤️ We’re happy we could make your last-minute booking smooth and memorable. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to Tanzania for another adventure! Karibu tena! 🇹🇿💚

Amazing
I had an amazing experience with Baraka on the Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Tour! From start to finish, everything was well organized and truly unforgettable. The hike to the waterfall was beautiful, and the coffee tour was so much fun. We got to roast, grind, and taste our own coffee the traditional Chagga way. The local lunch was delicious too! Baraka was friendly, knowledgeable, and made me feel welcome the whole time. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Moshi. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

Very accommodating and well organised
We come from Bahrain, a small island in the Persian Gulf / West Asia / Middle East for the first time to Tanzania, and booked with Zulu Tanzania Safari in last minutes. They organised everything well. They are very punctual and always accomodating. Thank you to Baraka, Honest, Bazili, Rafel and all for your tours. We booked many tours and the guys are very flexible, they have motorbike, tuc tuc and car option. The lunch was amazing, coffee tour was amazing, waterfalls amazing, another time we went to spring and this was cold not hot but the guys were flexible and gave us another tour to Massai village. They have English speaking guides. They are amazing. They helped us negotiating everything. Thanks all, I recommend them.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! 😊 We’re truly happy to hear that you enjoyed your time in Tanzania and that our team could make your first visit special. A big thank you for mentioning Baraka, Honest, Bazil, Rafel, and the whole team.

Why this scores 83
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Materuni Waterfalls & Coffee Tour with Optional Hot Springs: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moshi.
How much does Materuni Waterfalls & Coffee Tour with Optional Hot Springs cost?
+
Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Moshi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Materuni Waterfalls & Coffee Tour with Optional Hot Springs take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Moshi is not rushed.
Is Materuni Waterfalls & Coffee Tour with Optional Hot Springs worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 46 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Moshi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Materuni Waterfalls & Coffee Tour with Optional Hot Springs?
+
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 Materuni Waterfalls & Coffee Tour with Optional Hot Springs suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Materuni Waterfalls & Coffee Tour with Optional Hot Springs?
+
Around 16 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 Moshi 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 Moshi and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Materuni Waterfalls & Coffee Tour with Optional Hot Springs 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 Moshi 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 Moshi?
+
On Outty we rank every Moshi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Materuni Waterfall, Coffee Tour and Picnic Hot Lunch, Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Plantation Half Day Tour, Kilimanjaro climb, Machame Route (7-day). 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 Moshi?
+
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 Moshi?
+
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.
