A very special place - We had a private tour with Ricardo. He was an excellent guide, very patient and informative, unlocking the wonderful secrets of this special area. The area is teeming with wildlife, but a skillful guide like Ricardo is essential to spot the wildlife camouflaged in the foliage and see it in all its splendor using a powerful scope. This ensures you get great photos as well. We found sloths and monkeys, snakes, birds and some amazing colorful insects. The beach is beautiful though waves were a little rough when we visited. Still great way to cool off after the walk through the rainforest.

Must do MANP and must do it with Jason and team! - Jason was the best. There were people in other groups trying to listen to Jason because he was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and funny. We loved Jason and would 1,000% recommend Jason and his team!

Exciting tour full of wildlife - We had a wonderful tour with Andrew! He was so fun and knowledgeable. He was great with our kids, and found all kinds of things we would have never found on our own. We saw howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys, capuchin monkeys with babies, sloths - moms and babies, spiders, basilisk, deer being chased by monkeys, coati, and agouti. Of course, many birds and big iguanas as well. We did a private tour at 7am and I am so glad we chose this option, because it was starting to get crowded as we were leaving. Here is a little tip - the tours ends on the beach, but if you keep walking along the trail, there is another beach that is much more private and shaded and so beautiful. Many stop at the first beach they see, but Andrew told us to keep going and I am so glad we did! It was a perfect day at the park. Remember to buy your tickets to the park immediately after you book this tour, as they are not included.

Worth the expense to do a private tour - Our guide, Jason, was fantastic. He knew just where to find the animals and birds. He knew a lot about all of them as well as a lot of history about the area.

Uncle Jason is the Best! - Oh my gosh! What an incredible day with Jason. He is so knowledgeable and easy to relate. I still can't figure out how he spotted so many different species that are so well camouflaged. Unbelievable. I will sign up with Uncle Jason when we return. He is the best!

BEWARE: Buy tickets to the park AHEAD of booking a private tour - or you will lose $. - Beware - I booked a private tour and paid for it the day before it was schedule. They notified AFTER I was able to book that ticket to tne park were needed (which wasn't the problem - as tickets are only 18.50 USD) however, the park is sold out for weeks! No information was shared that you should secure your admission first! The only solution offered was to purchase admission on the secondary market for over $40 per preson. Who is buying up all the tickets to a National Park and reselling them??? They did not offer to reimburse me for my tour - which we couldn't take since the park is sold out for weeks!

Our tour guide never... - Our tour guide never showed. He called us to apologize, it was not his fault. Regardless 9 of us waited for about an hour as we figured out what was going on and booked with another company.
