What a fantastic time we had with Tio Leo. This tour was the highlight of our trip. Tio Leo knows his stuff about coffee, and this is a slow-paced, learning tour. Don't expect just a tasting room thing. He'll teach you about the history of coffee all the way back from Africa, to Costa Rica in modern times. He'll show you the experimental farm that's on-site, and explain what all the trees around are (including coffee and cacau). Ask to see the cinnamon tree! We also learned about the history of cacau, and got to roast the beans, then turn them into the "cacau tea" the ancients used to drink, as well as a modern "hot cocoa" drink with milk and sugar. We had a small cooking experience as well, with his helper Mirna, where we prepared our own empanadas, which served as a snack. Then we got to press some sugar cane and sample the juice as well. Finally, we watched the coffee beans being roasted and coming out of the roaster just when Tio Leo felt they were ready. You can see the experience and passion he has for coffee at work. The whole experience lasted around 4 hours, and Tio Leo doesn't wear a watch, so take your time and enjoy it. 100000% recommended.

Very cool experience. Had an added coffee and chocolate experience that was not suggested in the booking. We had a. Excellent tour guide named Graybir who was fantastic. He truly knew the culture and the personality of Costa Rica and added greatly to the experience. There was a decent amount of driving but it was broken up and not too bad. Overall a great experience!

Our family had a great day with Manuel from pickup at our villa through to drop off. Chocolate and Coffee was a great way to start the day and was a good pick me up following the first leg. Next we swam at the beautiful waterfall but the sloths, frogs and snakes were the star of the day. Thanks for a great outing none of us will soon forget.

La Leona Waterfall Guided Tour+Transportation

Family adventures

We were picked up at our hotel early on time and driven about 45 minutes with no traffic to a location where we then switch cars to an off-road vehicle. We wrote about 20 minutes and then we were able to use restrooms before we started the hike into La Leona. It was gorgeous. A Very very fun family day!

Great service, would use again when in Liberia!

My husband and I were picked up at the Liberia airport by Heiner. He was waiting for us outside of the airport with my name on a sign. The drive from the airport to our hotel was roughly an hour. On the way, Heiner provided some insights about the region. The driving was very smooth and relaxing and he had water ready for us. He and my husband even were listening to the World Cup game and would give each other updates. Service was great!

An Educational Nature Tour

It was a great tour. There is, however a lot of walking up and down steps and bridges, so be prepared to get a lot of cardio. You should be in great shape to complete this tour on time. The sites were beautiful, but we did not see much wildlife. The falls, hot springs & the volcanoes were amazing! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable & helpful!

Must do!

This was a once in lifetime experience and we will have amazing memories for a lifetime. The tour is physically demanding as a multi terrain hike. Our guide Christian was absolutely fantastic! He was knowledgeable and put all of his guests safety first. This tour really is a must do! As a tip, we recommend standing in the bed of the truck on the way to the drop off point to start your adventure!! 10/5 stars!

What are the best tours in Liberia?

There are plenty of high-quality tours and experiences in Liberia. According to previous travelers, here are the best tours to book right now:

Are guided tours in Liberia worth it?

Yes, guided tours in Liberia are worth it, even if you've visited Costa Rica before. Because there is so much to see and do in this diverse part of the Guanacaste province, it's helpful to have local guides who can maximize your time. They'll also come in handy with the language barrier. Plus, the land of "pura vida" is notorious for having rough roads, especially during the rainy season—booking tours that include transportation is a great way to ensure that you're not white-knuckling it and lost in the jungle when you should be whitewater rafting and having lots of fun.

Per one customer who booked the Guachipelin Adventure Volcano Zipline Horseback River Tubing Combo, "This trip was an absolute blast. Our guides, Kevin and Diego, were amazing. We felt totally taken care of the entire day. It was a great way to fit 4 completely different activities into one day. Highly recommend."

How much do Liberia tours cost?

Guided tours in Liberia run the gamut from budget-friendly to bank-breaking. The most affordable tours start around US$60 per person, although you won't find too many at this price point, and they don't include transportation. Tours that include transportation can cost as low as US$120 per person for a single activity and go up to US$200 per person for a multi-activity day excursion. Of course, private tours cost even more, and you may feel obligated to tip more if you're the only traveler.

For a tour on the lower end of the price range, book the Liberia Walking City Tour for around US$60 per person. The guided walking tour takes you around the city of Liberia, where you'll stroll down Royal Street and visit a museum, a historical Catholic church, and a local school. Pricier options include the 5-in-1 Rincón de la Vieja National Park Adventure Day Tour for US$350 per person. It's a private full-day tour that includes transportation, lunch in a local restaurant, four thrilling activities in Rincón de la Vieja National Park, and finally, time to relax in thermal waters and mud baths.

What activities are included on Liberia tours?

Liberia tours cater to many interests and feature an array of activities, from water-based adventures at the beach to cultural experiences in the heart of the rainforest. Whether you want to hike up a volcano, discover where coffee comes from at a family-owned finca, or ride horses on the sand at sunset, there's a good chance you can do it in Liberia, year-round.

Consider an all-day or multi-day tour to pack in as many sights and activities as possible. For example, Costa Rica: See & Experience it ALL in 11 Days, 1st Class Custom Tours allow you to choose your own adventure: you can rappel down waterfalls, cruise on a catamaran at sunset, or learn how to hang ten during a private surfing lesson.

How many days in Liberia is enough?

If you’re traveling from another country, four days is the minimum number of days you’ll need to truly get a taste of Liberia. For most travelers, around 5–6 days is ideal, allowing for 2–3 days of exploring the forested interior, such as Rincón de la Vieja National Park or Santa Rosa National Park, and 2–3 days of relaxing on the beach. Costa Rica may be a small country, and Liberia is just a tiny chunk of it, but the roads aren’t the best, and traffic can be heavy, especially on weekends—factor in at least twice as much time for driving as you would back home.
