Great experience with our guide, Paul! We saw monkeys, birds, lizards, sloths and more! Very fun and educational!
If you’re visiting Manuel Antonio, a trip to the national park is a must do, and you should absolutely book a guided tour with Efrain’s Nature Tours. Our awesome guide Pool shared his extensive knowledge of the animals, plants, and history of the park and the surrounding region with us, and was able to spot wildlife we never would have seen on our own. Pick-up and drop-off at our hotel were a breeze. A great value!
Alejandro was amazing! He worked so hard to find us animals and critters to look at. He was very knowledgeable and made sure we had all the pics and memories we could get. I highly recommend this tour and Alejandro!
We were lucky enough to do our tour in Manuel Antonio with Jimmy and it was, without a doubt, one of the best experiences of the trip. He showed us animals we would never have seen on our own and taught us to appreciate every detail of the environment. In addition, he is a super friendly, patient and dedicated person, always attentive that we were all enjoying to the fullest. Thanks Efrain's nature tours! For making this trip unforgettable!
Our personal guide Jeanpool took all the time we needed with a wheelchair (one of the two of us needs a wheelchair to walk behind and to sit when needed). The guide showed us everything and shared a lot of photos and some videos with us.
The guides here are fantastic and really know how to find wildlife that I would never have seen on my own. I highly recommend this tour!
Excellent Alexandria is the best guide
I gave a 4 out of 5 because the excursion goes on a pretty slow pace. However, our guide Wilbert, was great. The tour lasted about 3 hours. It is a hit or miss when spotting animals depending on the day. We were lucky and spotted some cute ones. As we walk through the main path, the guide makes stops and point at the spots where some activity is. They usually bring binoculars. Halfway through, we made a stop where they provide you with some fresh fruit and a refreshing drink (it is like a stand where you can sit ) At the end, the guide takes you to the two main beaches where the tour ends and you have time to hang out until you get tired. If you don’t want to go to the beach, there are some pathways to go for nice hikes. Important info: - Food, plastic bottles, sprays are not allowed in the park. They search every backpack. - Be patient with the crowds: there are a lot of groups that enter at the same time to do the same activity, therefore, bear that in mind - Bring your own water canteen, there are water fountains everywhere. - Bring your swimsuit on a backpack. There are places where you can get changed. The beaches are way BETTER than the ones in Manuel Antonio.
Our guide was Alejandro. We were super happy with him. He was competent, friendly and entertaining. He took care of everyone in the group. We've seen and learned a lot.
Amazing experience. Jean Paul was at our disposal all the time showing us all the fauna we could visualize in the park. You can definitely tell that Jean Paul knows and is passionate about what he does. He took care of taking the photographs of the sightings we made and then we passed them at night to each of us. Highly recommended and beautiful experience.
