Felix was fantastic! - Felix was very knowledgeable and efficient. He was able to spot so much wildlife and educate us. He was very talented with taking pictures and videos of the beautiful wildlife on our cameras using his telescope that looked magazine perfect! He showed us some less crowded beach areas and hiking options. We had an excellent experience.

Spotted so many animals! - Our guide showed us so many different animals along the trail. We would have never seen any of these on our own. The trail was easy to walk and good pace.

Great wildlife viewing - Our tour of the national park was a great experience because our guide Alvin showed us an incredible number of animals, e.g. iguanas, hummingbirds, crabs, bats, howler monkeys, sloths, nose bears, pampashases, vultures etc. Without him we would hardly have discovered one. He had a telescope with a tripod with him, through which he showed us farther away or very small animals and he helped us to take pictures with our cameras through the magnifying glass. Thank you for the great experience!

Albin Top Guide - Albin was an excellent guide; he showed us so many animals and has an incredible eye. He can spot any big or small animal instantly. We visited Manuel Antonio National Park with him, and it was amazing. Top of the top — he is the best guide we have ever found in Costa Rica.

Bruce was the best! - Bruce was very knowledgeable and skilled at finding all the wildlife. We had a fun tour through a few trails in the park and saw 2 kinds of sloths, 2 kinds of monkeys, and many insects and birds. Bruce was also great at taking photos for us through his scope so that we could take the memories home with us. Highly recommend!

Excellent visit to Manuel Antonio - Spectacular visit to Manuel Antonio Park. Our guide Bruce, NO only allowed us to see a lot DE animals (sloths, monkeys, frogs, snakes, lizards and more) but also made DE sure everyone who participated DE the group took their souvenir photos and videos. We were able to tour the entire park and EN several occasions Bruce allowed us to choose from several options to follow. Small groups (we were 8). I would recommend it to friends and family.
