Amazing day at Manuel Antonio - Our day at Manuel Antonio exceeded expectations because of our tour guide Jeremy! His keen ability to spot the animals in the rain forest was amazing. We had a perfect day and found all of the animals we had hoped to see and even more. The beach was gorgeous and thoroughly enjoyed our one hour there after the walk through the parque. Our entire day from pickup to return was excellent.

Wonderful experience - This tour was amazing. Jeremy, our guide, was very knowledgeable and took great pictures of all of the animals we saw, which he shared with us at the end. We saw sloths, howler monkeys and various birds and lizards. I learned so much and throughly enjoyed this tour!

A must for Manuel Antonio! - SUCH A FUN EXPERIENCE! Our tour guide, Warner, was an excellent guide! He knew so much about the park and was able to show us so many different animals that we would not have seen without him. If you’re going to Manuel Antonio, I would 100% recommend going with this tour company. We saw sloths, monkeys, different birds (parrots), and an anteater all thanks to our tour guide! They also offer breakfast and lunch with the tour. Very pleased!

A great day! - Manuel Antonio National Park was great, but without our guide Sylvia, it would not have been near as memorable! She was phenomenal! She was extremely knowledgeable about everything in the park and made a point to engage the entire group! We saw many more animals than we expected and closer than expected, thanks to Sylvia's scope. Definitely a must do!

A very nice, well-organized experience - We had a great time and I highly recommend it! A reminder that it is forbidden to bring food and disposable water bottles into the park, bring a reusable water bottle. We left Jaco around 7:15 a.m. towards Manuel Antonio Park. The vehicle was air conditioned and driving was pleasant. After a little over an hour of driving, we had our lunch (included in the price of the activity). The visit to the park was really very pleasant, our guide knew exactly where to find the animals and shared his extensive knowledge of the flora and fauna of the Park with all members of the group. The guide also took photos of each animal we observed with his telescope to send them to us later with Watsapp, a big plus. We had the chance to observe macaws, sloths, monkeys etc. The beach (1 hour of rest after walking) is also magnificent. On the way back, we stopped at the same place as on the way out, but this time for dinner (also included in the price of the activity). In short, a very nice experience that we recommend.

Must do!!!! - This was one of the coolest things I have ever done. Seeing all of the wildlife in their natural habitat was so special. Our tour guide Carla was absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable. The beach at the end is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. The “hike” is more of a walking path that is pretty much flat, but it is a decent length. I do recommend bringing a change of clothes for the way back if you decide to swim and don’t want to be wet the rest of the day.
