Itinerary

Admission not included25 min

Our activity consist on an easy, slow, nice 2,2 kilometers walk on a gravel trail and sandy trail near the beach, spotting as much wildlife as possible. We focus and wildlife spotting, nature photography, share nature updated information and some stories accumulated in the field. Nearly 2 hours after we started the walk we arrive to a coffee shop, here we can make a short break, so, you can buy something to eat or to drink. Just 100 meters ahead Manuel Antonio National Park safest and mean swimming beach invites you to swim, this a white and fine sandy beautiful beach. Just another 100 meters ahead a second nice swimming beach, here we usually finish our activity, so you can stay in the park, but if planning to leave the park we make 25 minutes brake for you to take some pics or quickly jump in the water. Walking back to the park entrance is faster due that, by this time it's already hot and most animals already had their breakfast, but landscape is still wonderful.

Amazing 😍

We had John Pierre as our guide and had an amazing time. We saw so many things we were hoping to see and we had other people in our group that we enjoyed being with. If you are going to take the tour, get a guide.

Great guided walk

Overall a really good experience. Our family of five booked a group tour guide not knowing how many total people might be in our group. Once booked the company sent meeting spot directions. We lucked out in that there were no other people in our group so we pretty much had a private tour. Our guide, Steve V, was knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and went at a good pace. All of the guides take the same main path through the park, and stop to look at the interesting creatures. Steve did find things on his own and used a monocular telescope so we could see things up close and use our cell phone to take pictures.

Incredible tour with an excellent guide

We loved the tour. Thanks to our guide, Albin, we were able to see various incredible animals and insects. In addition, he explained what we were observing throughout the tour and was always open to us asking him anything with a very good attitude. Besides that, he helped us take incredible photos that we will keep as good memories. Highly recommended.

Wonderful experience and wonderful guide!

What an amazing experience! Andrea was a wonderful and extremely knowledgeable guide. She was able to get us some of the best views and photos. She genuinely cares about what she does and shared that with us. We couldn't figure out our tickets at the admission point but Andrea was super helpful in suggesting that we use our name and passport numbers for the clerk to look up our ticket purchase. That did the trick and we had no issues. Later, she dropped us off at the beach in the park with helpful tips and suggestions for how to spend the rest of our day.

Park visit with Kevin Jimenez

We did the trip with Kevin Jimenez. He explained a lot about the animals we saw and the park and Costa Rica itself. We recommend visiting with a guide because we could never have found the wildlife ourselves.
