Knowledgeable and fun guide

My husband and I had a great time learning more about the animals and biodiversity of Costa Rica. Jason was an excellent and fun guide and answered all of our questions. He’s very knowledgeable and has an eye for spotting the wildlife around us. We would recommend him to friends and family

Best Nature Tour

I walked th guided tour with a broken toe..so it can be done! Having a guide is the only way to do it. They find all the creatures that u would miss and are so knowledgeable about everything there. They take photos and zoom in on objects for a wonderful experience. Not only is the park beautiful but also the beaches pristine...wear your suit under your clothes for u will be ready to cool off and enjoy the beach after the tour.

The guide is absolutely essential. They can show you all kinds of things you would never see in your own. Worth every dollar!

BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE

We were given half information and the tourist guide did not show up. He sent another person and he refused to help us with entrance tickets. He lied that tickets are not available. We had to buy on counter tickets and go with another tour. This agency didn't even refund our $60. Bad service. Bad at communicating and Don't refund your money back. DONT BOOK!

Operator response

We have carefully reviewed our records and found no booking under this name, nor any reservation matching the events described. This review does not correspond to our business or our booking history. We believe it has been posted on the wrong listing, and we have formally requested Tripadvisor to review its placement. Misleading reviews unfairly harm small businesses and confuse future travelers.

Worth the guide!

Jason was an amazing guide. He kept things light-hearted and fun while also sharing a ton of information about the wildlife in the area. He made it seem as if we were experiencing something wonderfully unique because he is amazed at what the animals do.

You need a guide! Jason is the best!!!

Our guide Jason was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and knew so much about all of the flora and fauna. He answered questions as we went along. He had a scope so he could show us everything in more detail, as well as take pictures and videos. He knew the other the guides, and they would alert each when they found something of interest. We saw tiny orchids, a lizard, bats, a hummingbird on its nest, a tiny frog, a very active sloth, howler monkeys, and a ton of capuchin monkeys! And at the end Jason shared the photos and videos with us!

Leadership with room for improvement

At 7:17 a.m. we got a message from the Guide Derrek that the meeting point time is not until 7:30 a.m. instead of the booked 7:00 a.m. Thank you, then we could have had our paid breakfast at the hotel! The tour was then finished after about 1.5 h and not after about 2 h as on offer. We also received the promised pictures only on request. There's room for improvement!

Great tour with Jason

One of the highlights of our trip. We saw birds, sloths, snakes and monkeys. Our guide, Jason, was very knowledgable and enthusiastic. We would not have spotted the animals on our own. We enjoyed our tour and learnt a lot. The beaches in Manuel Antonio are gorgeous and we stayed on the beach after our tour.
