Best experience!

This was INCREDIBLE! Saul did an excellent job. I am so thankful we booked this tour. We would not have seen nearly as many animals. I was able to see every single animal I was hoping to see! He was super kind and engaging with our children, also! Wonderful experience and highly recommend! You do not want to go into the park without a guide like Saul!

This was an amazing...

This was an amazing experience. We did the private tour with Jeramias and he was an absolute expert. We saw sloths, lizards, monkeys, insects and bats. Then we spent a lovely afternoon on the beach. The pacing was perfect for my kids and we all enjoyed learning about the animals and the park. Thank you!

Great visit to Manual Antonio Park

The tour was amazing. Our guide Daniel was super! He was able to find insects and animals at many meters from us that were invisible for us. He tooks National Geographic quality pictures for us. Very nice activity!

Excellent tour

Very easy reservation via WhatsApp exchanges. With the Manuel Antonio Nature Tours agency (even though it was 6 p.m.). Very responsive. Our guide Mop came to pick us up at our hotel. Mop is super nice, speaking perfect English. With his 26 years of experience, he spotted all the animals and birds. We saw macaws, a sloth, monkeys, lizards, iguanas, butterflies, various insects and he knew how to capture the latter in photos. At Manuel Antonio Park, everyone knows him. Without hesitation, ask for Mop. We spent 2 great hours with him in the park.

Amazing experience

Wow this was an amazing experience! If you want to see wildlife you would normally not notice, book this trip! Our guide, mop, was amazing! He spotted so many different animals for us to see. He was so kind to take photos through the scope for everyone and airdrop them to us at the end. I saw so many animals I would never have noticed! He was super knowledgeable about the animals and plants we saw. Pick up was easy and there’s a super cheap bus not far from the park that our driver pointed out to get back. Definitely would recommend!

Book with a guide!

Highly suggest booking this tour. Our guide was a wealth of knowledge and found things that we absolutely would never have spotted. You should book with a guide and not just go on your own. The beach at the end was great. Easy to get back to the shuttle bus area as well.

Always ask for Nicole!

Nicole was the best tour guide we have ever had. She was so sweet and got us the best pictures of every animal we came across. She is very knowledgeable and has a great connection with everyone at the park. When we come back we will specifically be requesting her. Thank you Nicole!

Saul was amazing. He...

Saul was amazing. He spotted mating dragonflies, camoflauged caterpillars, and so much more. We got some great pics of monkeys and sloths. We felt like we saw all of Costa Rican wildlife in one trip and got some amazing pics. Would highly recommend the tour. I would also recommend doing the earliest tour you can manage, because it does get hot and crowded as the day goes on.
