Amazing trip - The trip was amazing! We saw parrots, lots of monkeys and birds, a sloth, crocodiles and dolphins. The beach in the national park looked like a paradise:) We also had a very good lunch after visiting the park. Our guide Alex was very helpful and nice, I definitely recommend this tour.

Manuel Antonio Adventure - Our guide Alex was wonderful. During the drive he gave us an overview of Costa Rica. He clearly shared the day’s itinerary and was super intentional with opportunities to view different animals. Courteous and knowledgeable, glad he was our guide!

So much fun, watch out for the monkeys! 😊 - We went with my family and my best friend‘s family and had a wonderful time. We had a young kid in teenagers and everyone found something fun to do. The monkeys were a fun addition and to watch them run around in the open was really cool.

Horrible. No tour was done and only given partial refund ($60 USD) - If I could give a 0 I would. The company didn’t offer any of the services listed due to a car accident on the road. I understand this is out of their control, but it is also out of the customers control and a full refund should have been given. When these things happen, the company should eat the cost. They gave $60 USD back per booking and said it was for what had been planned but There is no way that all cost $100 USD. They were more focused on making a profit on a service they didn’t provide. I highly recommend you look elsewhere for a tour.
