It was such a great experience! Our guide “Oxani” I hope I spelled that right, she was so great. Very very knowledgeable of the park and the surrounding areas we traveled through. Very knowledgeable of the conservation efforts that Costa Rica has. We asked her all kinds of questions and she answered each one. The other couple we were with was great too. The views at the resort were amazing! Thank you again!!
More walking in preserve and less time for the beach than expected. Meals were good but portions a bit too large for seniors. As senior citizens ourselves it was a challenge but worth the effort. Guide and driver served well.

Kenny or Kenneth was our driver and guide for the day. Very friendly and informative. I will say the animals are wild so they’re not everywhere all at once. Your guide will help you find all the adorable sloths monkeys and more. We saw a couple sloths, a coatimundis, a couple species of monkey, a tiny frog, lizards and a crab. The beach was meh… we have cleaner Beaches in Hawaii but I’m sure Costa Rica has way more to offer than that beach. The water was warm. The bathrooms are a little small but I recommend using the one closest to the souvenir shop since they have showers too. Breakfast and lunch was great! I had the fish and it comes with a beautiful view of the ocean ! The park is a tiny bit over rated but I did enjoy myself for sure. We also saw some macaws! So beautiful… sadly the crocodile bridge was getting worked on and there were no crocs in site when we drove over… we had some mean traffic coming back so prepare for that . Started the day at about 5:20am and ended at about 8:20pm. I will say this drive was comfortable because it was just 4 of us. We had more room than we needed. Thank you so much to Kenny can for picking us up and dropping us off even though it wasn’t in the area they normally do that in. Lots of driving but worth it if you don’t want to drive on your own.

¡Muchísimas gracias por tu maravillosa reseña del Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio: excursión de un día a la playa y turismo desde San José! Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutaste de las impresionantes playas, la exuberante selva tropical y la increíble vida silvestre que hacen de este destino una de las verdaderas joyas de Costa Rica. Nos complace que Alex hiciera tu día tan especial con sus detalladas explicaciones y su amable guía, y que te haya encantado la deliciosa gastronomía local y el ambiente acogedor durante el recorrido. ¡Nos encantaría ayudarte en tu próximo viaje a Costa Rica!
We were not given a clear time for pick up and missed the time. The tour operator did not let us join at the next meeting point or the park itself (at our cost). They did not even give us the park entrance tickets that were included in our package. Completely uncooperative and looking for opportunities to steal your money.
The way you have described the situation is entirely inaccurate, and we have written evidence to support this. A few hours after you made your booking on Viator, we sent you a message confirming the pickup time for your tour. You acknowledged receiving the message by responding with the information we requested. This confirms that you not only received the message but also read it, which included the confirmed pickup time. It is unfair to hold us responsible for your mistake when you showed up 50 minutes late for your tour. Regarding your comments about our lack of assistance in helping you join the tour after your late arrival, it is convenient for you to focus on your side of the story while omitting key details. You neglected to mention in your review that, when informed you were 50 minutes late, you responded by verbally abusing our representative in a highly vulgar and disrespectful manner. Such behavior is unacceptable, and we will not tolerate it from you or anyone else. We also have written evidence of this interaction. Under normal circumstances, we would assist late arrivals by setting a new meeting point, but given your disrespectful conduct, we determined that this situation was a clear "no-show".
Fernando, a Guide with a lot of knowledge. Friendly and attentive person at all times. Great experience. I recommend it. The food was delicious.

We really loved the experience visiting Manuel Antonio National Park, seeing a diversity of animals, birds, insects and butterflies. Harlem our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the flora and fauna that you can find in Costa Rica. We had a close look through the telescope at macaws, monkeys, sloths, butterflies and bats. We stopped at the beautiful white sandy beaches of the national park and had the opportunity to have a swim in the warm waters of the Pacific. The lunch we had at San Bada restaurant was delicious and we had amazing views over the national park and Manuel Antonio beach. On the way back we stopped at Tarcoles river, on the crocodile bridge and managed to spot 5 crocodiles, resting on the river bank. All in all, a beautiful day which ourselves and our daughter have enjoyed a lot. Our guide Harlem and the driver Don Carlos were very courteous and friendly and made our experience memorable. Thank you for a great day!
