Great experience - Andrew was a terrific guide. Very knowledgable and fun. We saw a huge variety of flora and fauna and got good photos from Andrew’s scope. He was great with the kids as well as the adults.

Would book again - Andrew was my tour guide and he was super knowledgeable and great at spotting a lot of different wildlife. I really enjoyed having him as my guide. If your intention is to see a huge variety of animals/insects and get some good pictures then this tour is absolutely worth booking, there were so many things I wouldn’t have been able to notice or identify without the help of a guide. I’ve seen some reviews that seem to have missed the instructions to buy park tickets before the tour, but personally I can confirm these instructions were provided to me on the description for the tour when I booked it.

The best guide! - Jason was a terrific guide. He has an eye for spotting wildlife that we could never find on our own. Another person in our tour said, "I think we got the best guide" and I agreed she was likely right. Jason would spot things and then tell the others. He also takes beautiful photos and videos through his scope and shares them at the end so that you dont have to deal with pucture taking. Plus, he enjoys joking and making people laugh. The meetup point is right outside the park entrance and he gives very thorough instructions on how to find the tour. A great experience.

Great tour! - Booking a tour guide is definitely the way to go. We had Andrew and he was great with lots of educational info about the animals and insects we saw. We were able to see a lot more through the telescope he brings which was a must have!!

Fun experience at Manuel Antonio - We booked a guide through Viator. Our guide Bryan was very friendly and knowledgeable about the amazing plants and creatures of the park. We probably would have missed half of the animals sightings walking on our own.

Get this tour! - We really enjoyed our tour. Our guide, Fabio, was very knowledgeable, kind and obviously passioned about the natural wonders of Costa Rica. The pace was relaxed and we never felt rushed. We were fortunate to be in a small group of only 2 couples, and to also have great weather for mid June. We had the 7.30 AM on a Sunday, and it was still crowded at times, especially since many groups we encountered were very large. We saw several sloths, howler and white face monkeys, frogs, lizards, hummingbirds and more. We probably wouldn’t have spotted most of these creatures without Fabio’s help. At the end, he shared with us all of the awesome pics he took during the tour. We strongly recommend Fabio and this guided tour.

Get a guide! - Jason was great! Found us many animals and was full of information! Great pictures and videos! We really wouldn’t have seen much without a guide- also helps with parking and entering park.

Awesome Beach and Animal Tour - Our tour guide was awesome and worked to ensure we got to see a variety of animals including crabs, snakes, birds, monkeys, and lizards. It was nice to have Jason take the photos and then share them with our group. If you are interested in doing something specializing in bird watching then Jason would be an awesome guide. The beach was great and we were able to see monkeys and lizards around the shore. There is a good walk back to the entrance, but it is flat. Just know you have a 15 minute walk back after swimming.

I’d 100% Use Them Again - We had a great time and got to see a lot of things we would have missed if we didn’t have a guide. I love that if you have an iPhone the guide will Airdop all the photos to you that were taken through his scope. I’ve always gotten so obsessed with taking pictures that I rarely just get to enjoy the tour.

Worth the price! - Jason was a capable guide. He pointed out all 4 species of monkeys, sloths, a brown tree snake eating a lizard, and a coati. But he promised to send me a Google link to his photos from our trip, and he never did! Bummer.
