Unique experience with Raphael, the guide - This tour was great experience. Everything was well organised. Our guide, Raphael was the best of all. He is so knolegable but also nice an funny. He showed us lots of animals and plants and told us something interesting about each of them so now we feel as if we know everything about Manuel Antonio wild life. It was two hours of learning and having fun at the same time. Do not hesitate, book this tour!

Wonderful morning spent in Manuel Antonio Park! - We booked a tour of Manuel Antonio Park with Manuel's Tours (through Viator) and this tour delivered on all promises! In fact, it exceeded our expectations! Karen was our friendly, knowledgeable guide. The AM pickup was prompt and our day got off to a great start. We saw a lot of animals & birds, thanks to Karen's skills. We also learned a lot from Karen. About history, culture, nature and the Costa Rican environment. Her spotting scope brought everything up close! We especially apprciated Karen's help with taking smart-phone photos through that scope. The pace of the hike was just right and the mid-morning treat of fruits and juice really hit the spot, when needed! We highly recommend this tour and tour guide Karen from Manuel's! Thank you, Karen! Pura Vida!

Great tour, great service, absolutely top - We booked a private tour with Manuel at very short notice. Actually, there were no more tickets left for the national park that day, but Manuel somehow made it possible. The communication before the tour was great and everything was perfectly prepared. During the tour, Manuel tried to lead us a little away from the other groups and we saw lots of animals. He sent us all the photos he took during the tour straight after. Manuel is super nice and knows a lot about the flora and fauna. He takes time for all questions and also for the children, even when they want to see the baby sloth through the binoculars a fourth time. ;-) All in all, a great experience that I would happily recommend.

Great tour, would recommend! - What a great trip! Huge thanks to Ivan for making the walk through the forest interesting for us and our kids. With his help, we spotted many animals and got some great pics. I would highly recommend this tour - pick up worked like clockwork and Ivan was there at the park entrance ready to greet us. The beach at the end was great too! 😎

Fun experience amazing beach - We went around 11:30am and we had a guide. We didn’t see that many animals. I think if you go earlier in the morning when there aren’t as many people or crying loud children running around to and from the beach you’ll have a better chance seeing more animals. The beach was beautiful and amazing. There are jellyfish my friend was stung twice. Once on the beach we saw monkeys and white tail deer without the guide. There were plenty of monkeys.
