Excellent - The tour was amazing, we went with Frank and he was very knowledgeable and helpful! We saw (and heard) many types of frogs and even saw a fer de kance snake. An the very end of the tour we saw a red-eyed frog and a sloth! Absolutely best!

Mop is the best - Mop was amazing and helped us see so many animals we hadn’t seen in Costa Rica. We saw kinkajous, tarantulas, a scorpion, and a sloth coming down to go to the bathroom at night that was 5-10 feet from us. Highly recommend this tour!

So many animals and Andrew was the best guide - We were so lucky to see a wide variety of animals combined with the best guide, Andrew! He was so knowledgeable, funny, and inclusive! He made sure everyone was able to get a chance to look at everything including others in another group. We were a lucky group that saw a sloth right in front of us as we caught her on her bathroom break. This tour was a highlight! So many animals and Andrew’s pictures were phenomenal!

Best night hike ever - request Dylan! - This was our favorite tour! Dylan was fantastic - knowledgeable and passionate about all of Costa Rica’s wildlife but especially the frogs and snakes. He worked with us to find as many of the frogs as possible and helped take gorgeous photos. If you do one tour- do this one and ask for Dylan!

If you want to see Costa Rican animals, this is your tour! - We had the most amazing time with Fabio showing us the awesome animals Manuel Antonio has to offer. He is very knowledgeable about all parts of nature, particularly with reptiles, and even if we wouldn’t have found animals (which we found a lot of!) it would have been worthwhile. Highly recommend if you are in town

Incredible jungle hike! - Had a great experience with Alan as our guide! He was very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw snakes - even a Fer-de-lance pit viper. Other animals we saw were frogs, tarantulas, a skunk, an opposum, Jesus Christ lizards, and a kinkajou. We even saw a two-toed sloth climbing on a tree branch very close to the ground..our faces were within mere feet of it! It was super special to see one up close! This is my second time going on a tour with Manuel’s company. Highly recommend them!

AVOID at all costs - AVOID this company at all costs. They called me 10 minutes before the start of the tour to tell me they had to cancel because I was the only person to book on the tour. I don’t care if I am the only person, you should be prepared to run the tour if someone spends good money on booking it. They then offered to take me out the following morning for a 2 hour tour. They never showed up! I waited at the agreed time for an hour, they didn’t reply to my texts or to my calls. Please avoid this company at all costs, they don’t care about solo travellers. I only had a couple of days in Manuel Antonio, and Manuel’s Tours wasted half my time here. Terrible.
