Reviews: San Jose: Yosemite National Park and Giant Sequoias Trip

I downloaded the translation guide app, but I completely forgot where to start using it, so I didn't use it. It would be great if the bus had a mobile phone charging service, Wi-Fi, and a toilet.

Very conveniently located at the entrance to the mall, interactive, fun even for adults with three different 4d movies and amazing replicas of main San Francisco and San Jose landmarks.
Reviews: Day Trip from San Jose to Irazu Volcano National Park, Cartago City and Orosi Valley
Guest User2026-01-02
We really enjoyed our tour, walking the playa negra at Irazú was a highlight! The weather is unpredictable so bring a rain jacket/waterproof clothing— it started misty and it cleared up for a bit so we could see the craters. Both experiences were other worldly. The church and botanical gardens were beautiful and lunch was delicious. We did not go to the restaurant on the booking, but likely it was closed because of New Year’s Day. The food was delicious though, and we got to go to a local store, Cholitatica, next door. On the way back to the hotels, our guide stopped for one last view of the Orosi Valley, it was incredible. Our guide was fun, knowledgeable, and the small group setting was ideal. Highly recommend!

A great tour; we visited all the places listed. Perhaps there wasn't enough time to explore everything: one hour certainly wasn't enough time in Lankester Gardens.
Reviews: Irazu Volcano National Park, Cartago City and Orosi Valley from San Jose

My wife and I had an amazing day exploring Costa Rica's Cartago province on our tour that included Irazu Volcano, the historic city of Cartago, the Orosi Valley with a delicious lunch, and the beautiful Lankester Botanical Gardens. The views at Irazu Volcano were breathtaking, my wife commented that it felt like standing on another planet. In Cartago, the Basilica de Nuestra Señora de los Angeles was very impressive. We appreciated having time in Cartago to shop for souvenirs. Lunch at the Orosi Valley was perfect with delicious Costa Rican food. We then visited the Church of San Jose de Orosi, built by Franciscans in the 1740’s, and finally, the Lankester Botanical Gardens with thousands of orchids in bloom, plus bromeliads, bamboo, and that peaceful Japanese section. A highlight for any plant lover. What made the whole day fantastic was our guide, Arlin, who was incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and made everything fun and informative. Highly recommend this tour for people wanting a mix of nature, culture, and great food. Easily a 5 out of 5 stars.

Hayro was our guide for the day and he is an absolute professional. We learned so much from him, he was very patient with our group, and we had a great time. There is a lot of walking and some of it is at a brisk pace. We started out with the waterfall, which is breathtaking. My friends and I went down to the bottom (500 steps down and 500 back up). Wear comfortable closed-toe shoes; the stairs are wet, not necessarily slippery, but definitely wet. We left the waterfall and headed to the hanging bridges - it is about an hour/ two hour van ride between the waterfall and arrival at Mistico Park. Hayro set a good pace but it is very hilly, prepare yourself. The views are gorgeous. We brought ponchos but luckily the weather was perfect. Not too hot with the perfect amount of breeze. We left the hanging bridges and headed over to the Hot Springs. When I was deciding on excursions, I kept going back and forth but what made this one worth the extra money was the hot springs. We arrived at the resort and they had so many different springs for us to try of varying temperatures (I felt like Goldie Locks at one point). The hot springs with a Pina Colada in a Pineapple was the perfect ending to the day. Thank You Hayro and I cannot wait to return and tour with you again.
