Jeremias was a great guide and discovered and explained a lot. The pictures and videos that he took with his telescope turned out great. It is amazing what the well-connected guides are able to see. I would never have discovered many things on my own.
Our guide Jason was fantastic. He was personable, attentive, and knowledgeable. He spotted many animals and insects for us and helped capture amazing photos and videos which he shared at the end of the tour. We especially enjoyed how he shared information about the behaviors and scientific facts about the animals, as well as insights about Costa Rica's culture and history. Jason was also funny and shared stories. We felt that the tour was a great value. And, had we not hired a guide, we probably would have mostly seen plants and trees.
I have been to Costa Rica a couple of times and every time I learn something new. It has diversity in culture just like it's Flora and Fauna. This time we explored Manuel Antonio National Park. Our guide Javier Laguna was in charge educating us on this country, but creating an understanding on how the ecosystem works,and how important it is not not only for Costa Rica, but the world! Although, I know Spanish, my friends didn't. Javier is so knowledgeable of the animals and flora, that he was able to translate perfectly amd even provided scientific terms. The park is now regulated as you have to buy tickets in advance and provide passport details or cédula. No food,no sun block or any other items are permitted to protect the flora and fauna. Reusable bottles are permitted. Javier provided us with fruit inside. At the end of the tour you get to enjoy the beautiful, clean soft sandy beach. Pura Vida!
Amazing customer service. Jason was a gem at trying to sort out our situation. Please remember to purchase your tickets prior to booking the tour. Manuel Antonio park is amazing! We saw tons of animals: sloths (at least 5), howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys, capucin monkeys, iguanas, spiders, frogs, bats, aguila, snakes and so much more!
It was gigantic! We booked a private tour with Jason as a couple. Right before who thinks he's private and alone in this park thinks wrong. We were surrounded by other groups but Jason is often away with us and has seen things no one else has seen. So we were often “alone” with the great animals. We have seen a lot of different monkeys, basilisks, snakes, frogs, sloths, nose bears, etc. We are happy and can only recommend this tour!
We did a private tour and it was great. You can see some of the animals without a guide but the illusive ones we definitely would have missed. Highly recommend.
Great group tour at Manuel Antonio NP! Our guide was great. A great experience and absolutely recommendable. We'll be back!
Danny did a great job and was excellent in spotting a variety of species in the rain forest. I would hire him again in an instant.
We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our Nature Guide Tour at Manuel Antonio National Park. Thank you for the recommendation! Kind Regards, Costa Rica Wakoo Tours.
Th pearl is beautiful!! Mop was an awesome tour guide and found so many fun things for us to see. We saw Howler and Whiteface monkeys, sloths, frogs and lizards, lots of different birds and bats and the coolest looking crabs. He pointed out the different plants, trees and insects too, he is very knowledgeable about all of it. He took photos with his phone through the telescope so we got great pictures of what we saw without a big hold up of everyone trying to get their own, then he just airdropped them to us at the end. The tour ended and the beautiful beach where we stayed and swam and did a little more walking around the park. Highly recommend this tour!!
Excellent tour with great communication before, during and after. Andrew our guide was superb - knowledgable, fun and very kind! Highly recommend.
