Poás volcano is a powerful symbol of the geothermal forces that formed Costa Rica. When the mist and clouds part you’ll see the sulfuric, bubbling, green rain fed lake at the bottom, surrounded by smoke and steam rising from fumaroles. Water from the lake is constantly seeping through cracks in the hot rock, evaporating and building pockets of steam. When the pressure in these pockets exceeds the weight of the water above, the steam breaks through in geysers that rocket up to 820 feet (250 meters) high. Don’t worry about getting a shower though, the crater is 1,050 feet (320 meters) deep. At almost a mile (1.6 km) across it’s also the largest active crater in the world. New safety features have been added to protect visitors in case of particularly heavy activity.

Private Direct: SJO Airport to/from Manuel Antonio Quepos (1 Way)

Private shuttle from SJO to Manuel Antonio

Our driver, Francisco, was great! He was very friendly and made our journey from SJO to Manuel Antonio very comfortable. He pointed out various landmarks along the way and provided us with information about the area. I would definitely recommend this service!

Wildlife Refuge La Paz Waterfall Gardens Day Trip from San Jose

Jason_R, Mar 2026

Best tour of our vacation thanks to Harlan!

This was our best tour of our vacation! The park was fantastic, but as most of you already know, it's your guide that can make it a very special day. Our guide Harlan was beyond fabulous! He was extremely knowledgeable, kept us on pace and had an excellent way of providing both history, details of the park and making us laugh at the same time. He had the added task of speaking both spanish and english the entire tour and perfectly balanced this between our family and the other family. If you are lucky enough to have him as your guide, consider yourself blessed! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone considering it.

Our guide and driver...

Our guide and driver (Nancy and Marvin) were wonderful and attentive. The mountainside is breathtaking and we visited and learned a lot about Central Costa Rica. One thing that I would like to advise, is that you need to add the travel time to the excursion time: this can take between 2-4 hours depending on traffic. It was quite worth it!

Adventure

Excellent experience if you are up for adventure! All the drivers and guides were great, informative, and helpful. Hotel staff was great. Would definitely encourage anyone to go. Know that you need to be able to walk a lot and often up and down steep hills. You need to be flexible as weather and traffic can change things. You will be doing a lot of traveling and often through steep curvy roads. Great Experience

Informed us of the pickup...

Informed us of the pickup location. The driver was waiting for us at the Airport with a name sign. The driver was very courteous and pleasant. The vehicle was clean and had two bottles of cold water for us. The drive of 1.5 hrs was very smooth with safe driving.

Beyond incredible, fantastic doesn’t even begin to describe it

This was honestly one of the best tours I’ve ever done in my life. From start to finish, everything was smooth and so well organized. We felt supported and taken care of throughout the entire experience. Our guide most days was Lenny, and she was absolutely incredible. She had an amazing depth of knowledge and shared so much with us. On top of that, she went above and beyond by taking us to a few extra spots along the way and even making it possible for me to fly my drone. Her expertise, kindness, and great personality really made this tour unforgettable. The logistics were also flawless—pick-up and drop-off were seamless, always punctual, and perfectly managed. The days could be long, with some early mornings and late evenings, but as long as you’re well rested (and you can even catch some sleep on the drives), you’ll be able to enjoy every moment. Overall, I cannot recommend this tour enough. Every detail was thoughtfully planned and executed, and Lenny truly made it a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you have the chance, don’t hesitate—this is a tour you won’t regret!

Fun adventure with everything you need!

Awesome experience. Our hotel wasn’t on the list but I reached out and they were able to pick us up. We even made a surprise stop along the way! Plenty of food is provided, everyone was super friendly and it was an overall amazing experience. I have a fear of riding horses after a bad experience in the past but the guides helped me feel comfortable and it ended up being a blast. Would definitely recommend and it’s well worth the price!
