    Farm to Table Tour

    What a memorable experience! We were able to try so many fruits at the farm that we had never even seen before, which was amazing! We used some of those items in our meal later. Scott was excellent and had each one of us help prepare the meal. My teenage son loved how interactive this was. We already have plans to make this again at home. Also, if you are a dog lover, you will LOVE this location! We absolutely recommend the Farm to Table Tour. It was the perfect family activity!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the great review! We love to hear that you were making memories on our farm with your family. We truly appreciate your recommendations and can't wait to welcome you back the next time you are in Costa Rica. Pura Vida!

    Breakfast of Costa Rican Champions Cheers!

    This was probably our favorite experience in La Fortuna. There’s nothing like a hearty Costa Rican Breakfast. Gallo Pinto, fresh fruit, bacon, sausage, fried cheese, plantains, homemade tortillas, avocado and sour cream. Topped off with mojitos and a passion fruit smoothie. Then dessert. Loved chef Scott and Charlie. Great hospitality and wonderful food and a very patient chef. Great experience. If you love a Costa Rican breakfast go! So fun.

    Response from the operator: We are so glad that you enjoyed our authentic Costa Rican breakfast. Everything topped off with a mojito is better! Hope to see you on your next adventure. Pura Vida!

    Tour cancelled on the day and no refund

    Nice guys but we arrived for our Farm To Table tour in the morning, as we booked the tour a few months back and the owner told us no tour was planned that day. We had no time left in La Fortuna so we had to cancel the tour. He told us we would get a refund but still no refund has been done... This is really not professional and wouldn't recommand, unfortunately.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry for the inconvenience you experienced with the Farm to Table tour. I want to assure you that we’ve processed your refund as promised. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding, and I apologize for any frustration this may have caused. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled that you enjoyed Brian's farm and our cooking. It's wonderful to hear that you had a true "pura vida" experience with us. We hope to welcome you all back for another memorable day soon!

    Organic Farm Tour, Tropical Fruit Tasting & Cooking Class: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Organic Farm Tour, Tropical Fruit Tasting & Cooking Class cost?

    +

    Prices start at $85 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 Organic Farm Tour, Tropical Fruit Tasting & Cooking Class take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Organic Farm Tour, Tropical Fruit Tasting & Cooking Class worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Organic Farm Tour, Tropical Fruit Tasting & Cooking Class?

    +

    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 Organic Farm Tour, Tropical Fruit Tasting & Cooking Class suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Organic Farm Tour, Tropical Fruit Tasting & Cooking Class?

    +

    Around 1 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Organic Farm Tour, Tropical Fruit Tasting & Cooking Class 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 Organic Farm Tour, Tropical Fruit Tasting & Cooking Class?

    +

    Included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Organic Farm Tour, Tropical Fruit Tasting & Cooking Class?

    +

    300mts before de La Fortuna Waterfall, is the only 3 floor building at the right next to Tifakara Hotel. In La Fortuna, Alajuela, Costa Rica. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Organic Farm Tour, Tropical Fruit Tasting & Cooking Class offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Organic Farm Tour, Tropical Fruit Tasting & Cooking Class?

    +
