Great tour with a delicious meal to end the night.
This tour was so much fun and we got a lot for our money. Our guide was darling with a great sense of humor. The path for the night tour was smooth and easy to walk, plus we were given flashlights that were strong enough to see any creatures visiting that night. The night finished with a delicious dinner where we got to meet the Queen of the family. I highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Dear Victoria, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you had such a fun and memorable experience on our night walk tour. It's great to know you enjoyed the smooth trail, the wildlife sightings, and of course, the delicious dinner at the end of the evening. We're especially glad you connected with your guide — we agree, their humor and passion really bring the experience to life! And meeting the Queen of the family is always a special touch that we’re proud to share with our guests. Your recommendation means the world to us. We hope to welcome you back to Arenal Vida Campesina for another adventure soon! Warm regards, The Arenal Vida Campesina Family

5 Star ***** farm tour with Dylan
If you’re visiting Costa Rica and looking for something real, meaningful, and unforgettable — this is it. Our organic farm tour with Dylan was an absolute highlight of our trip. From the start, it was clear how much Dylan loves the land and cares about sharing Costa Rican culture. He walked us through the farm, introducing us to all kinds of native fruits, vegetables, and herbs — many we’d never seen or heard of before. He explained everything with so much knowledge and patience, and you could tell he genuinely enjoys what he does. The whole tour was hands-on and super fun — we tasted fresh sugarcane, made tortillas from scratch (which was surprisingly satisfying), and ended with the most delicious home-cooked lunch. It wasn’t just tasty — it felt like something made with heart. One of the moments that really stuck with us: we mentioned we weren’t in the mood for coffee mid-day, so Dylan brought us fresh lemongrass tea instead. That little gesture just showed how thoughtful and attentive he is. Dylan isn’t just a great guide — he’s a genuinely kind person who clearly cares about creating a great experience. This tour felt more like spending time with a friend who’s passionate about their home than a typical tourist activity. Can’t recommend it enough.
Response from the operator: Wow… ¡Qué alegría y gratitud sentimos al leer tus palabras! Gracias de corazón por compartir una experiencia tan significativa con nosotros. Nos llena el alma saber que la visita a nuestra finca con Dylan fue uno de los momentos más memorables de tu viaje. Todo lo que describiste —desde descubrir nuevos sabores y aromas hasta el gesto simple de servir una infusión de lemongrass— refleja lo que más valoramos: la conexión auténtica, el cariño por la tierra, y el deseo genuino de compartir nuestra cultura con respeto y amor. Dylan es, sin duda, un ser humano extraordinario, y nos emociona saber que su pasión, amabilidad y atención marcaron una diferencia en tu experiencia. Le haremos llegar tus hermosas palabras; no tenemos duda de que le van a conmover profundamente. Gracias por recomendarnos con tanta calidez. Aquí siempre tendrán un lugar donde volver, una mesa servida con corazón, y una finca que los recibirá con los brazos abiertos. ¡Hasta pronto!

A Must for Your Costa Rica Vacation!
The guide was knowledgeable, friendly and thorough. We were running late and the guide waited for us and gave us the full tour. We left with a good understanding of the most common plants in Costa Rica. We loved making our own tortilla for our wonderful typical Costa Rica lunch which was delicious. Definitely recommend this tour for anyone visiting this unique and beautiful country.
Response from the operator: Muchas gracias por su visita, ha sido un gusto recibirle y compartir con ustedes nuestra finca y nuestra cultura con ustedes. Saludos!

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Organic Farm Tour with Sugar Cane Grinding and Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.
How much does Organic Farm Tour with Sugar Cane Grinding and Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $49 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 with Sugar Cane Grinding and Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 La Fortuna is not rushed.
Is Organic Farm Tour with Sugar Cane Grinding and Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 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 with Sugar Cane Grinding and Lunch?
+
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 with Sugar Cane Grinding and Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Organic Farm Tour with Sugar Cane Grinding and Lunch?
+
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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Organic Farm Tour with Sugar Cane Grinding and Lunch 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 with Sugar Cane Grinding and Lunch?
+

Where is the meeting point for Organic Farm Tour with Sugar Cane Grinding and Lunch?
+
