Genuine Reviews from Past Adventurers
“The best, safe trip of my life! From harvesting beans to tasting the freshest coffee, Blue Sail gave me a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
"Oh my God!! I cannot recommend this enough. I went in expecting this could be fun, but it ended up being life changing! Colombia is so beautiful, Kyle and Aleja were awesome guides. I learned so much about coffee and made so many friends on the tour. By the end, we were like family!!"
"As a self-proclaimed coffee aficionado, I thought I knew it all—until Kyle guided us through a boutique farm where the growers treated each bean like gold. I left with a deeper appreciation for every step that goes into my morning cup. I’m telling all my friends: this is the ultimate education for any coffee lover."
"What I appreciated most was the care behind the tour - I felt very safe. I’m not a big hiker, but I am so glad the group encouraged me, because it was worth it. I loved the Airbnb because it felt more like a luxury retreat than a tour stop. I always felt safe and ate amazing food the whole time. Kyle did a great job I can’t recommend this enough!"
GOOO! I 10/10 recommend! I’m not usually one for structured tours, but this was a blast every minute. Kyle and Aleja made it feel well organized, but still like an adventure at the same time - well balanced and not what I was expecting at all. The mountains, the food, the people, everything was great .
"The highlight for me was discovering the history and traditions. Comuna 13 touched my heart. And I’d never heard of the game Tejo which was fun. These kind of things you cannot get back home. This trip showed me just how amazing Colombia is. Grateful for the experiences and people I met on this tour. I would do it again!"
Your Questions, Answered
We’ve got the answers to help you plan the perfect trip. Here are some questions we commonly receive about the coffee farm tours:
Absolutely! Your safety is our top priority. Every activity is carefully vetted and assessed for security. The tour is managed by an experienced (English-speaking) Colombian tour manager, with private drivers or certified guides for specific activities. Accommodations are always secure, located in gated or well-guarded facilities. We follow safety protocols to ensure a worry-free and memorable experience
The tour spans 5 full days. We kick off at 9:00 AM on Day 1 and conclude with the final activity by 9:00 PM on Day 5, ensuring you get the most out of every moment.
We recommend flying into Medellin (MDE) within 24 hours before Day 1 and departing within 24 hours after Day 5 to ensure a seamless experience. While you're welcome to extend your stay, airport pickup service is guaranteed only within this timeframe.
No, all hotels and lodging during the tour are reserved for you in advance. If you choose to extend your stay by arriving early or leaving late, you'll need to arrange your own accommodations. However, our tour manager is happy to assist with recommendations or bookings upon request
Our tour includes a mix of activities designed to cater to different preferences. You'll enjoy a guided walking tour through the city, light uphill walking on coffee farms, and a hike through the stunning Valle de Cocora. While some activities require a moderate level of effort, we offer alternative options for those seeking a more leisurely experience, ensuring everyone can enjoy the journey at their own pace.
We’ll be in the central tropical mountains of Colombia, where the weather is a pleasant 65–75°F year-round. During the day, the sun can feel warm, making light clothing ideal, while the cool mountain breeze in the evening may have you reaching for a light jacket. Since there’s always a chance of light rain, we recommend bringing a rain jacket to stay prepared and comfortable.

Instead of a common, commercialized plantation visit, you’ll experience award-winning specialty beans, meet the farmers themselves, and witness their meticulous processes firsthand.
What sets us further apart is the contrast of environments we show you. Feel the vibrant pulse of Medellín, one of Latin America’s most captivating cities, before soaring in a small plane to the tranquil, lush countryside. You’ll see how the farmers live and work amid breathtaking mountains, gaining perspectives on Colombian culture and coffee production that most travelers never even imagine.
