Unforgettable Experience with Alanso at Manuel Antonio National Park! - My sister and I had the absolute pleasure of touring Manuel Antonio National Park with Alanso, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. From the moment we met him, Alanso's energy, knowledge, and passion for the park and its wildlife were infectious. He made the entire experience come alive in a way we never expected!
Thanks to Alanso’s sharp eyes and incredible spotting skills, we saw an amazing variety of animals – sloths, monkeys, toucans, colorful frogs, iguanas, and even a few creatures we never knew existed. But what really stood out was how informative he was. Every animal, every plant, every sound had a story, and he explained it all with such clarity and enthusiasm that we walked away feeling not just amazed but educated.
He made sure we were comfortable the whole way, was patient with our questions, and even helped us capture some fantastic photos through his spotting scope. His love for nature and respect for the environment were truly inspiring.
This was more than just a tour – it was a highlight of our trip and an experience we’ll never forget. If you’re visiting Manuel Antonio, **do not miss the chance to explore it with Alanso**. He’s a true gem and made our journey absolutely worth it!
Thank you, Alanso – you're amazing!

The best tour run by a great tour guide - It was by far the best experience for a multitude of reasons. The tour guide - Luis - was fabulous. He provided so info before we went on the tour so you knew what to expect, the regulations of entry and other useful details.
He was so knowledgeable about the history of the park, everything we saw which was plentiful.
Also, unlike other reviews, the beach experience was great. Stunning beach, relatively and beautiful vistas.
I would highly recommend this group and worth the money and more!
Finally - travel is inclusive of cost and punctual.

The Ultimate Guide That Made Manuel Antonio Magical! - A Must-Have Guide for Exploring Manuel Antonio National Park! I can't recommend this guide enough! Alonso was incredibly helpful in planning our visit to Manuel Antonio National Park in Costa Rica. The information was clear, well-organized, and packed with practical tips that made our trip smooth and unforgettable. From the best times to visit to avoid the crowds, to detailed advice on what to bring, what to expect on the trails, and where to spot wildlife—it had everything we needed. He was great with our kids & even let them participate and shared lots of knowledge! Thanks to Alonso, we were able to see lots of wild life sloths, monkeys, insects, reptiles etc.. and explained with detail everything about the rainforest and its ecosystem
What I especially appreciated was how it balanced useful logistics with local insight and environmental awareness. Alonso explained the importance of not feeding animals, staying on marked paths, and respecting the park’s natural ecosystem. It wasn’t just about seeing the sights—it helped us appreciate the park on a deeper, more respectful level.. If you're heading to Manuel Antonio, do yourself a favor and use Alonso for an incredible experience. It truly enhanced our adventure and made it one of the highlights of our time in Costa Rica!

Private tour with the Best - The tour with this company was amazing, we were able to avoid large groups by having a small and private group, our guide had eagle eyes to find the most camouflaged animals which would have been impossible to see on our own, our guide took beautiful photos of us with his telescope and shared them with us and we finished the tour 2 hours later with some comforting fruit and a seasonal fruit drink... I highly recommend it, if you are like me and my friends who like small, personalized and PRIVATE groups, I recommend this activity!
This is what you are looking for!

From day one of contact he continued to update us until we finally met in person at the park. He made meeting at the park easy and accommodating.

My promise to you reading this right now is you will not be disappointed, go ahead and book with Alonso! Pura Vida! 🇨🇷
