Doka Estate Costa Rica Coffee Tour and Plantation

I did the basic tour and is great. Francisco, our guide, explain us everything with patience and clarity. The gift shop was a little overpriced but the whole experience is worthy. The people from Costa Rica is super nice. The tour was not expensive at all and covers all the pieces from planting the seeds to the roast, and of course the tasting.

Chose this due to it being a local independent grower, rather than it's huge international neighbour named after a Moby Dick character! Only booked day before and was a smooth booking process. Interesting drive to get to it with lots of winding roads and swirling fog. Once we got there, I really enjoyed this tour. Really informative and lovely place. Guide was knowledgeable and despite it being a wet day, everything was good. Told us about the history of the place, the processes and the distribution, everything from planting out to selling the finished coffee. He even told us about the other indigenous plants and the wildlife (and the not so wild plantation cat, aka pest control! ) All the signs were in English and Spanish. End of the tour has coffee and chocolates to taste before you buy. No pressure sales, but the coffee wasn't priced up, which was the only negative. Lots of signs for offers (buy X get x free but no idea of the cost). Would definitely recommend.

We had a great experience on the Doka coffee tour, even with just the two of us—it felt like a private tour in the best way. Our guide, Jonathan, was fantastic: knowledgeable, engaging, and even sprinkled in some German, which made it feel extra personal. Despite the rain, the tour was still a highlight of our trip. We loved getting to taste the coffee, and the hands-on elements—like holding actual beans and seeing the equipment up close—really brought the process to life. Lunch was a nice bonus and rounded out the visit perfectly. Highly recommend if you’re a coffee lover or just curious about how much work goes into your morning cup!

Went here on a whim and it was a fantastic choice. The price was amazing for a guided tour that was almost two hours long. Our guide took us through all of the coffee growing and processing steps and answered all of our questions with ease. The gift shop was great with coffee and chocolate samples available to try before and after the tour. There was a nice restaurant that we didn't try but it looked like it would have been good. I liked the washrooms here too, nice and clean!

We stopped in to take the tour. We needed to wait for the next tour, but the cafe had lunch available. The food was very good. We explored the grounds for the time we had left before the tour and my kids loved checking out the plants and looking for bugs. The tour was really good. It started with a sample of iced coffee, vanilla and cream which was excellent. Then the tour began. Our guide did a great job. She explained all about how coffee trees are raised and then how they harvest and process the beans. It was a really interesting tour. Seeing the 100 year old machine that they had used and the new one they replaced it with was really cool. Then we visited the gift shop where there were tons of samples which were very good. Highly recommend.

This farm is a gorgeous location and the ride to get there was just beautiful. We did the tour which made me feel sorry for the coffee farmers after the long explanation of how hard it is to harvest the coffee beans. Beautiful place and I highly recommend walking around. I bought a lot of coffee and I’m already out and regret not purchasing more. If you’re in Costa Rica, you should go to a coffee plantation and this is probably one of the finest. Good chocolate covered coffee beans are amazing. They should turn this into a venue because the grounds are so beautiful. Bottom line, the coffee is amazing.

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.

The coffee estate in Costa Rica was an incredible experience! It’s a great spot to learn about the coffee-making process from start to finish. The tour was highly interactive, with the chance to walk through the fields, see the coffee beans being processed, and even try picking some yourself! The guides were knowledgeable and friendly, making the whole experience informative and fun. Plus, the coffee tasting at the end was a real treat! If you’re a coffee lover or just looking for something unique to do, this is a must-visit!
