We had an amazing time in the Manuel Antonio National Park with our guide Ronald! He pointed out so many different animals that we 100% would have missed otherwise. We saw lots of lizards, toucans, hummingbirds, monkeys, sloths and much more. Most of the animals we got to see in even greater detail thanks to the telescope that Ronald carried around. Would definitely recommend people to go on this tour :)

This is such an awesome tour. Our driver picked us up right on time and was very polite, very friendly. We met our group tour guide at the included breakfast. Our guide was awesome at spotting the wildlife, very friendly and very knowledgeable. We all had a great time.

What an incredible day....
What an incredible day. Our tour guide Alberto truly LOVES what he does and you could see his passion and knowledge with every animal/ bird and insect encounter.
He helped get pictures for everyone through his lens, which was great for anyone just using a cellphone to take photos of their day.
The beach stop was amazing! The coastline was absolutely stunning and lush with greenery and monkeys playing in the trees.
Breakfast and lunch was good local cuisine.
Something to take note, our tour pickup said 6:30AM but we didn’t get picked up until closer to 7:20AM, so keep in mind you may be the last stop for local pickups. Confirm this the day BEFORE so you aren’t worried when they do not show up on time.

Great way to experience Manuel Antonio National Park
This was a really easy way to experience Manual Antonio National Park - highly recommended.
We were staying in Jaco, which is about 2 hours from the park. We were picked up right on time and driven up to the company's restaurant/store, about 30 minutes out from the park. We stopped there for breakfast and then drove the rest of the way up.
The park was not too crowded and our guide had a very keen eye, picking out animals both big and small throughout the hike. The first half of the hike is really where you see the majority of the animals. Guides are spotting things to show their groups, and the guides share info amongst each other to ensure everyone has a great experience/sees as much as possible.
Half-way through we stopped at a beach to cool off a bit. After 45 minutes or so there, we walked the rest of the way through the park. While the first half of the walk was on a trail, the second half was on a boardwalk through the mangroves - there was far less to see here, and we made our way through that area fairly quickly.
Once returning to the entrance, we were driven back to the restaurant/store for lunch, then back to our hotel.
Overall, it was a great experience and definitely worth the trip. I appreciate not needing to drive/navigate our way from Jaco - our driver and tour guide were fantastic!

Great Animal Sight Seeing and Swimming
Our group was constantly engaged and our guide found plenty of different animals that we would have never noticed, from snakes to sloths and several kinds of monkeys. It was incredible how easily he found them and with what frequency. There was ample time to take photos through the magnifier and he shared plenty of information. Swimming in the cove was terrific too.
The only negative was that we were picked up well after when we were told to be ready. The van had to stop and pick up other groups before us, which is understandable, but it was never communicated to us that there was a window so we were starting to think that no one was coming after 45 minutes. Once the driver arrived we asked why he was late and he showed that he was on time according to his own schedule. This just wasn't explained to us prior to pickup.
Overall, it was a great trip and worth the price paid.

An amazing experience!
We had an amazing experience! Our tour consisted of about 15 people. Our driver was prompt and picked us up ant our air bnb and brought us to the tour guide station near the park where we were greeted by Alvin, our guide. We then ate breakfast (eggs, rice/ beans and Plantains. Fruit was also a choice) and went off to the park. Alvin was attentive to everyone and extremely patient! He took time to tell us of his experience prior to becoming a guide and the acres of palm trees near the park. He was very knowledgable about the park and animals. We saw sloths, white face monkeys, a lizard eating a hummingbird, a snake eating a tree frog, iguanas, with our own eyes. Alvin was able to get extremely close views with his scope and allowed everyone to view. He also shared all of his pictures with us at the end of the tour. At the end of the tour we went back to the restaurant to eat lunch. We would def do this tour again and recommend doing it. Hopefully you will get Alvin! 🤙🏽🤙🏽 Pura Vida Alvin!

Disappointing and expensive
Did not see much and very expensive despite the good intentions of the guide. Expensive for a walk in the woods.

Our tour guide was...
Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about everything inside the park as well as the history of Costa Rica. The breakfast and lunch that was provided were incredible. We were fortunate to see sloths, monkeys, snakes, and many species of birds.
