Doka Estate Costa Rica Coffee Tour and Plantation

Excellent tour. Our guide was excellent with the tour taking about 90 minutes. You get to sample coffees, chcoclate covered coffee beans and fruit- all very good. Prices are a little expensive compared to other places we stopped along the way by $5-$10. We booked online ahead of time.

We had such an amazing time visiting this beautiful place with our 6-month-old! The stroller-friendly paths winding through the coffee fields were perfect for exploring as a family, and the lush landscaping made every moment a joy to take in. We loved the free coffee samples and the incredible buffet—everything we tried was absolutely delicious. Though we didn’t take the coffee tour, we spent our time wandering the grounds, admiring the gorgeous plants, and soaking up the peaceful atmosphere. The butterfly garden and café were delightful additions to the experience. This spot is very baby-friendly and never felt crowded, which made it even more enjoyable. It’s a wonderful place to relax, eat, and explore, and we can’t wait to visit again!

10/10 would recommend to everyone! We went on 12/30/24 & had an absolutely wonderful time! Our guide, Sergio, was incredibly knowledgeable, interesting & fun, he also wanted to learn about us & what our lives are like in Michigan. There were some very unexpected similarities! We did walk a decent amount, with lots of stops to look & talk, they have much more than just coffee plants! We were lucky & timed it in the middle of harvest so we were able to see much of the process, including spreading the beans they were drying in the sun for 5 days…..it takes 3 years from planting seeds to first harvest & about 3-4 months after harvest before it’s ready to be packaged & sold! You can also sample all of their varieties, drinking as much as you would like. Overall, this was a highlight of our 2 weeks trip! Thank you Doka, hopefully we’ll be back again!

I have visited the plantation as part of bus tour excursion. Coffee plantation walk and demo of the work facilities were informative and engaging. Lunch at the plantation was just ok. Plantation grounds are lush and beautiful. Butterfly garden was quite small and had almost no butterflies due to recent rainy weather. Overall, quintessential part of visiting Costa Rica and understanding country’s history and economics.

I am not a coffee drinker but I thought the tour was super interesting and the property is amazing. I felt like I learned so much about the process. The shop seems really overpriced, but there are lots of samples and things to try. Our lunch was very similar to lunches we had at other buffets on our tours.

Hugo, my tour guide and the team were great! The tour is an hour long. I am not a coffee drinker, but it gave me a lot of insight on how coffee is made. You are shown the process from the beginning to the end. I even got to meet the factory's dog, Coffee. The gift shop was nice and although, I am not a coffee drinker, the coffee was delicious. I was also able to taste test the coffee chocolates and I purchased the coconut and the pineapple, they were good! Such a beautiful oasis.

I would give it a 4.5. A true coffee experience. Learn the history of everything about coffee, in their factory museum as well as fields. The estate is lovely. Great to walk around. Also, there is a restaurant and well stocked gift shop. Ample safe parking. Lots of tour buses stop here. Worth a visit. Also a nice drive and take the opportunity to visit the nearby volcano.

Our tour was amazing and the amount of labor involved from growing to producing coffee it is no wonder that coffee costs so much. The coffee is amazing! We shipped 12 pounds home. That’s how good it is! Definitely reserve your tour in advance as they get very large groups year round but especially during tourist season.
