Great experience in Manual Antonio Park! - We enjoyed a wonderful tour with Brandon as our guide! He was passionate about the wildlife, explained tons of interesting facts about what we saw, and he was patient and helped us get great photos through his spotting scope. From the start, Alonso was excellent with communication and gave very clear directions

So many animals, yummy snack, great pictures - We took a private tour with Alonso, me, my wife, and our 8 year old daughter. He was so communicative and accommodating. He’s so friendly that he knew all the other guides and people at the park so we were able to get in very quickly and saw at least 20 different kinds of animals, plus different plants. We saw Howler Monkeys, Capuchin Monkeys, Squirrel Monkeys, Hummingbirds, fruit bats, black Iguanas, crabs, 3 toed sloths, 2 toed sloths, and so much more. He provided a complimentary snack and we explored the beaches by the park. We had a blast, learned so much, laughed a bunch. Grateful for his experience, knowledge, and passion. Highly recommend!

Fantastic guide - Alonso has been the best guide in Costa Rica. His education and the number of things he told us about flora and fauna fascinated us. Do not hesitate to hire your services.

Amazing and super educational - The tour experience was phenomenal! The guide, Alonso, is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and will ensure you and your friends and family have an amazing experience and great time. A private guided tour with Alonso is the way to go. You will get a one-on-one tour of this magnificent park where you will be able to asks any questions and see the park on your own time without rush. Highly recommend Alonso for your tour guided experience of this magnificent Country!

Amazing Tour - Brandon and Alonso were great. Love the park and the views and descriptions of the wildlife. This tour is a must if you want to see Manuel Antonio Park. The beach is beautiful, and you get a chance to explore after the official tour ends. Ask for Brandon to be your guide!!

Great experience! - The park is beautiful, from the jungle to the beaches. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and easy to understand. He spotted so much wildlife that we would have walked right by on our own! We saw 5 sloths, a troop of white-face monkeys, a howler monkey, a capybara, as well as 2 lizards, 2 silver-backed spiders, and frogs eggs. Would highly recommend!

Alonzo made our park visit unforgettable! - Alonso is passionate about his national park and and all its wildlife. His ability to see what we would have easily walked past is phenomenal! He was able to show us and explain a myriad of wildlife, including a stunning spider, two species of bats, three species of lizards, birds, deer, monkeys, sloths, and even a snake. His depth of knowledge is highly impressive as is his energy and love of what he does. This tour with Alonso was one of the top highlights of our 3 weeks in Costa Rica. Highly recommended!
