Our visit to Manuel Antonio National Park was one of the highlights of our trip, and our guide, Luis Ramon, made it an unforgettable experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the park and its wildlife. What impressed us most was his incredible ability to find every animal that was promised—and many that we would have completely missed on our own. Thanks to his trained eye and spotting scope, we were able to see sloths, monkeys, colorful birds, reptiles, and other fascinating wildlife up close. He took the time to explain each sighting, answer all of our questions, and ensure everyone had a chance to see and photograph the animals. If you’re planning a visit to Manuel Antonio National Park, we highly recommend taking a guided tour, and if you have the opportunity to go with Luis Ramon, don’t hesitate. He truly made our visit an amazing and memorable experience!
We had a mixup with the operator for the tickets and waited for a while.
Dear Visitors Your comment is very important to us and to future visitors. We asked you for the mandatory information in advance. Unfortunately, you sent us the information very late. (The government ticket system takes a long time to process the tickets.) For this reason, it is very important to provide the mandatory information for the tickets at the moment it is requested. Best regards. Yanan Rojas
Stephanie was the best guide! She was very informative and showed us a ton of different animals that we would have passed by on our own. She made the experience!

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He included our kids in the adventure and showed us many amazing animals. His scope was awesome so we got to see the animals clearly and he took pictures for us with our phones so we have lasting memories. Highly recommend!

We went during the beginning of rainy season and were pleasantly surprised of how sunny and warm it was. Saw sloths, multiple kinds of monkeys, agoutis, bats, etc. Would absolutely recommend getting a guide as they are amazing at pointing out things we would’ve never seen on our own. Ours, Luis, was very knowledgeable and helped us see so many things. The tour ended at a beach where we had time to swim until they closed, but the guided tour lasted around 2 hours. Awesome experience!

Lui was very friendly and helped us spot many things we couldn’t have seen without him. For the price, you can’t do much better than that.

Our guide was Jean Pierre and he was extremely knowledgeable. It made the tour so much more enjoyable. It does get extremely busy on this track but it is also the most visited national park in CR. Great communication from the company. A memorable experience.
