Manuel Antonio National park, PRIVATE day tour from jaco
Description
One of our guides will meet you at your hotel, and during a one-hour tour, they will explain everything you can see around you. Upon arriving at the national park, we will enter. We will already have the tickets bought beforehand, which are included in the price of the tour. Manuel Antonio is the perfect combination; we will be able to observe the dense jungle surrounded by beautiful beaches. We must be careful because the monkeys roam freely around you, so keep a close eye on your camera. The sloths are waiting for you. We will also have time to enjoy the white sand that the national park offers; our tour includes beach time. Finally, lunch is an added value to the tour.

Stephanie was our tour guide for the Manuel Antonio Park. She was great at getting us onto a wide range of natural history relevant to the different interests in our group. She provided a lot of ecological background to the park and sightings.
Jerry was a most excellent guide & driver. We saw sloths, deer, birds, and monkeys & beautiful views! Very memorable!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Family Experience with Jerry at Tukan Tours Our family traveled in December 2025 and had the absolute pleasure of working with Jerry from Tukan Tours. From start to finish, the experience exceeded our expectations. Jerry was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and thoughtful in planning our excursions. He took the time to understand that we were traveling as a family and tailored everything to balance adventure, comfort, and fun for all ages. The logistics were seamless—on-time pickups, excellent guides, and well-planned itineraries that made the trip feel effortless. What truly set Jerry apart was his genuine care and attention to detail. He was always available to answer questions, make adjustments, and ensure everything ran smoothly. It felt less like booking a tour company and more like having a trusted local expert looking out for us. This was one of the most memorable family vacations we’ve ever had, and Jerry played a major role in that. We would not hesitate to book with Tukan Tours again and highly recommend Jerry to anyone looking for a first-class, stress-free travel experience. Thank you, Jerry, for an unforgettable trip! Jerry is now our friend and part of our family forever!! Pura Vida!!!!
Jerry was absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, he felt less like a tour guide and more like a personal concierge and friend. He went above and beyond every single day—helping us with food shopping, giving local recommendations, and making sure every excursion was top-notch and perfectly tailored to our family. Every detail was thought through, every experience was seamless, and his knowledge of Costa Rica made our first visit unforgettable. Jerry’s passion, professionalism, and genuine care truly set him apart. Because of him, our trip was stress-free, exciting, and better than we ever could have imagined. If you are visiting Costa Rica, do yourself a favor and book with Tukan Tours—and ask for Jerry. He made our first trip to Costa Rica the absolute best we could have asked for, and we will absolutely be back because of him.
We booked a tour, received confirmation and had a scheduled pick up time. We were waiting for our pick up and no one showed, so we called and that’s when we found out the park we were trying to go was sold out. They did not notify us until then. They could have canceled, sent us an email, called, texted, anything. Instead we were standing outside just waiting. When I called they did apologize and stated we would get a full refund. I do not see the refund yet after a few days and will now have to call about that. Very disappointing experience. If there were no tickets they should not have booked the tour or cancelled and notified us!! Terrible customer service.
Gracias por su comentario, la reserva desde días previos estaba cancelada ya que es misión imposible conseguir Tkts Dias previos. O acaso usted pudo ingresar ? Esta compañía no cobra de más por ingresar. Y en nuestra actualidad y experiencia nos dice que reservas de last minute, no son permitidas. Nos hubiese encantado ayudarle pero seguimos siendo honestos y preferimos decirles o informarles que NO hay entradas.
Booked this excursion for my parents. They had a wonderful time. My parents spoke very highly of Jerry, their guide, as he went out his way to make sure they enjoyed their time at the park.
Our family took a tour from San Jose to Manuel Antonio National Park. We were very fortunate to have Jerry as our tour guide. Jerry was extremely thoughtful to our needs and knowledgeable about Costa Rica wildlife and culture. For example, on our drive back to San Jose —despite the traffic— he was kind enough to pull over just so we could see a sloth! The entire tour was top notch from ease of pick up/drop off to the food to the beautiful park itself. Highly recommend!!
Our private tour with Tukan Tours was fantastic! Our tour guide was so accommodating of our family of five helping us see everything we wanted to see. Jerry was very experienced and knowledgeable of the area which made for a great tour, great meal, and overall great trip!
Do not miss the opportunity to visit this beautiful park, you will spend a full day in the best way and more if you do it with Tukan Tours, the guide is excellent, knows a lot about the place and you can see that he enjoys his work. I would not hesitate to re-engage your services and recommend them. Congratulations!!
