For those of you who have a day or two in San Jose and want to do some day tours, you’re in the right place. Although most people skip San Jose all together, it’s not a bad homebase for a short trip to Costa Rica as the city’s central location makes it easy to see beautiful beaches, nature and wildlife.

Tracey says
Hi! we are wanting to take our daughter on the coffee/volcano tour in a couple of weeks as she is coming to visit us for Christmas. We live in El Rosario. Do you pick up at the Courtyard by Marriott next to Walmart in Alajuela? If so, around what time would we have to be there as we would have to take a bus or get an uber. Thank you!!
Sammi says
Hi Tracey! They do pick up at Courtyard Marriott. Pick up is usually around 630 – 730 AM but the exact time will be given in the confirmation.
PP says
I’m the only one and wondered if the tour price showing included what? Also with entrance fee?
Thanks
Sammi says
Hi, if you choose the tour you want, the description and what it includes will pop up below. Once you have submitted the form, I’ll check availability to see if the tour you want to do is available since they can’t run with just one person.
Sage says
A group of classmates and I (we are studying abroad in San Jose) live in Curridabat. How far into San Jose do we need to go for pickup?
Sammi says
Hi Sage! The closest is Mall San Pedro for pick up and drop off.
Don Nicholson says
We want to zipline over the canopy. We are senior citizens but in good shape. Which would be best view of jungle, day trip from San Jose or day trip from Tamarindo? We are staying in both for several days.
Sammi says
Rainforest Adventures Atlantic has a great zipline with nice views of the rainforest from San Jose. In Tamarindo, Black Stallion has a fun zipline.
Maria W says
Do these tours pick up at hotels near the airport that aren’t technically in San Jose?
Sammi says
Hi Maria, yes they do! They can pick up around SJO Airport and the downtown San Jose area.
