Fantastic tour with Roni our guide seeing the 3 areas - We had a fantastic first day visiting the 3 places... 1. DOKA - Coffee plantation along with our breakfast. 2. Poas Volcano - although it was cloudy so we didn't get the best view (that's down to weather conditions) 3. La Pas Waterfalls & Gardens - we saw some many beautiful birds and animals, you need a few hours here then finished up by see the various waterfalls. We also had lunch here. We had an early start of 7.30am and didnt get home until 6.45pm but it was certainly worth it with our excellent guide.

Passion is their second name! - This is a second tine we hired Sky Solutions and as predicted it was incredible! Roger was so knowledgeable and very helpful. He picked us up in Belen and dropped us off at Playa Hermosa. We stopped a few times to show us some fun spots. He answered all our questions and told us a lot of interesting facts about Costa Rica. At the end of our stay in Costa Rica he picked us up and took us to a coffee plantation, Volcano and stopped along the way to show us more interesting places. You could tell how passionate he is about his country and proudly talked about all the cool stuff! My friends are already planning to come back and definitely use Sky again! What a great experience!

Unforgettable Experience - The tour guide(Roger) was best for the job. The tour was well organized and enjoyable. He took the pictures of the group. We had more memorable pictures than our selfies. He is very professional and highly recommended. Thanks again Roger. Pura Vida.
