Jaco Beach
To get to the beach you can take a cab or a tour or just take the regular bus. You will need to make your way down to Terminal Coca-Cola (like the soft drink). It is located North of Averinda 1 and Calle 18 on Averinda 3. The reason I would suggest looking for Averinda 1 is because Averinda 3 doesn't start until Calle 16 and it's a tiny street, easy to get lost so start with the larger intersection and walk North from there.
As you do you will see a booth on Calle 18 selling tickets to Jaco beach. It is a good idea to get your ticket the day before just because there is a chance they could sell out all the tickets. It will be just North of a strange pet shop that sells chickens, ducks, pigeons, rabbits, ducklings and chicks - though I'm pretty sure, with the exception of the pigeon you will be eating these guys.
The first shuttle leaves at 7am and leaves every 2 hours. The return buses leave in the same durations, the last one leaving at 5pm.
Tickets for the bus are about $5 for a round trip. But if you are planning to stay in Jaco, you can always buy a return ticket there.
Volcano Tour
I walked back to the intersection near the Rainforest Adventures agency to another tour agency across the street next to the Radio Shack sign. I signed up for a package that would take my whole Friday, starting at 6:30am, going to a coffee plantation, then to Poas volcano and finally through a rainforest zoo/hike. I found out that for those who booked this package through their hostel or through the internet paid an extra $10 as I paid $82 instead.
