Highly Recommended - Great guide, outstanding driver, and Manuel Antonio is beautiful. Really, really nice beach area. One day is not a ton of time to get out here, but if you're in San Jose and you only have a day, this is a great company.

A fun experience in torrential rain - The driver is attentive, responsible and clear in communications. We got soaked in the rain but that's typical weather to be expected in the tropical area. DO bring a rain jacket since it gets cold in the mountains. Zip line was a lot of fun! A hot spring afterwards is even more heavenly. Food serving size was small tho none of us had enough food. But overall we enjoyed it a lot!

Great tour! A must for visitors to Costa Rica. - The tour started with pickup early in the morning at 5:45 AM in order to avoid the traffic. We were able to see the beautiful areas of Costa Rica stopping at tourist towns along the way such as Jaco and ultimately reaching Antonio Manuel National Park. While at the National Park were able to see wildlife such monkeys , iguanas , and sloths as well as the beautiful beach area.
There were two stops for food (breakfast and lunch) that were enjoyable for me.
Our guide (Jerry) was very passionate in providing the historical significance of all the areas we toured ; he tried his best to look for wildlife and was able to find some red macaws along the way which was great.
The driver did a good job of getting around the heavy traffic safely as this was a long day of 12 hours.

Experienced Guide - Arturo was the key. He was excellent. His years of experience made this tour run smoothly. Manuel Antonio did not disappoint. We have more than enough time.

A beautiful walk! - A very nice walk. The guide gave us a lot of information about Costa Rica during the trip so it also helped us learn more about this beautiful country! The park is beautiful, it was difficult to see some animals like sloths since they are at high altitude but we saw monkeys and birds. The Pacific water is beautiful and at the perfect temperature! The return trip was quite long since there was a lot of traffic (to be taken into account when calculating the return time). I recommend the experience!

Great Beach and Experience - The park was beautiful and a great way to experience Costa Rica’s beaches. The drive out was scenic and the tour guide Fern was enthusiastic and fun to be around. I recommend you bring a canteen to fill with water in the park as no plastic bottles allowed in the park. Additionally the drive is long to get there and back about 4 hours each way so just be prepared for that but it is worth it!

Great Excursion! - Charlton was outgoing, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable. It was a small group with just 3 of us and he was able to answer all our questions. The crocodile bridge was a surprise and we saw so many! Charlton was great walking us through Manuel Antonio and pointed out the blue crabs, sloths, and identified different plants.

Overpriced. - Fran, our tour guide was amazing.
The added surprise stop was appreciated.
I think it’s overpriced, to be honest.
I was expecting a guide through the park. A guide would be helpful at MA Park.
