    Wildlife and Jaguar Rescue

    My family had a great day! Rosa was so sweet and answered lots of questions and made the day memorable! Jose was a great driver. They personalized our day! I would book with this company again.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that Rosa and Jose helped make your day so special and memorable. Personalized experiences are what we strive for, and it’s wonderful to know we made a great impression. We would be honored to welcome you and your family again in the future!

    Great trip 😄

    We had a wonderful day with our guide and driver. Risheylin and Yiyi took fantastic care of us and tried to fulfill our every wish. We always felt well looked after and cared for. Both have a great sense of humor and are very attentive to their customers. Not only did they bring us safely to all of our destinations, they also brought us closer to Costa Rica and their homeland - every question was answered patiently, we were able to try cocoa beans, enjoy pipas frias together, marvel at a banana blossom... Thank you very much!

    Private La Paz Waterfall Gardens & Starbucks Alsacia Coffee Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private La Paz Waterfall Gardens & Starbucks Alsacia Coffee Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $250 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Alajuela usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private La Paz Waterfall Gardens & Starbucks Alsacia Coffee Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Alajuela is not rushed.

    Is Private La Paz Waterfall Gardens & Starbucks Alsacia Coffee Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 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 Alajuela, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private La Paz Waterfall Gardens & Starbucks Alsacia Coffee Tour?

    +

    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 Private La Paz Waterfall Gardens & Starbucks Alsacia Coffee Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private La Paz Waterfall Gardens & Starbucks Alsacia Coffee Tour?

    +

    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 Alajuela 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 Alajuela and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private La Paz Waterfall Gardens & Starbucks Alsacia Coffee Tour 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 Alajuela 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 Alajuela?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Alajuela experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arenal Volcano Full-Day Combo Tour with Lunch and Dinner, Arenal Volcano Experience Full-Day Tour from San Jose, Manuel Antonio National Park Sightseeing and Wildlife Day Tour from San Jose. 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 Alajuela?

    +

    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 Alajuela?

    +

    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 Private La Paz Waterfall Gardens & Starbucks Alsacia Coffee Tour?

    +

    Included: All income; On-board WiFi; Pickup and drop-off; Lunch; and All Fees and Taxes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private La Paz Waterfall Gardens & Starbucks Alsacia Coffee Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 146 listed pickup locations in and around Alajuela. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private La Paz Waterfall Gardens & Starbucks Alsacia Coffee Tour 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 Private La Paz Waterfall Gardens & Starbucks Alsacia Coffee Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Private La Paz Waterfall Gardens & Starbucks Alsacia Coffee Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Alajuela. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Private La Paz Waterfall Gardens & Starbucks Alsacia Coffee Tour?
