A wonderful experience! - The trip from Jaco to Manuel Antonio should be at then top of everyone’s list of activities in Costa Rica. The transportation was on time, comfortable, and professional, and the guide was knowledgeable and patient. Our tour group was composed of a range of travelers, from our family with two children to a group of retirees, and no one was left behind during the tour. The guides help each other spot wildlife in the park, so that every visitor has a positive experience. We saw capuchins, sloths, and birds on our tour. And the beach was spectacular! If we had an additional wish, it would’ve been more time at the beach. Our quick one hour of beach time after a two hour hike seemed far too brief. But even so, the day was perfectly timed to get everyone back at the bus and back in Jaco by 4-5 pm. All in all, this was money well spent to explore one of Costa Rica’s national treasures in one day.

Amazing Wildlife and Stunning Beaches - There are lots of guides in Costa Rica from the Volcanoes to the beaches and everywhere in between, but we were fortunate enough to have Ronald as our guide thru the forest. His eye for details and sense of the forest were truly astonishing. He spotted a frog from 30 yards away on a tree trunk, monkeys in the treetops, and a myriad of other wildlife and forest dwellers from the fairly easy walking trails. Take your time to truly appreciate the environment and your surroundings, then relax even more at the beach in the calm, warm and serene waters. The brekfast and lunches at the restaurant were also perfect and a great way to get the day started and refuel after your hike. I would do this one again the next time we are in the area.

Great day at Manuel Antonio park! - Great day! Very friendly, informative, and relaxed. Breakfast and lunch were really nice. Our guide was super lovely and really knew what he was talking about and made every effort to make sure we saw all the beautiful wildlife the park has to offer. Would 100% recommend!

A Must See! - This was my favorite tour of several tours we took during the week we were in Costa Rica. We were picked up and dropped off at our resort in an air-conditioned van. Both breakfast and lunch were included. Our tour guide, Tyrone, was excellent, showing us a variety of wildlife, including a sloth, and taking photos for us through his high-powered binocular on a tripod using my iPhone. I have some amazing photos and memories to take home. I highly recommend this tour!!

Good but not great - Joseph our guide and Fred the driver where great, saw scarlet macaws before we entered the park and saw squirrel monkeys after we exited the park. While in the park we only saw animals / creatures thru a telescope. The snake , sloth, spiders atc were hidden and barely visible thru the telescope. Beach visit was nice. Meals were good. Expected to see more with my eyes not thru a telescope.
