Amazing experience and excellent communication - Yanan’s communication throughout the process was outstanding. He was very responsive to my many questions and treated us very well. Luis, our tour guide in the park, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and found animals in places we would have never found on our own. He was very helpful making sure we all got good fotos of the animals found.

Great guided tour of Manuel Antonio - Luis (Roberto) was our guide, he was excellent. Do not attempt a tour of the park without a local guide, otherwise all you'll be able to say afterwards is 'Nice trees.' Most animals are extremely difficult to spot on your own and Luis knew where to find them and offered a lot of background knowledge helping capture great photos and videos of sloths, monkeys, snakes, birds, lizards, you name it. Yanan also helped with park entry tickets which do run out if you are not careful. The tour was laid back and included fruit and juice break.

Our tour guide was Diego.... - Our tour guide was Diego. He is knowledgeable, patient and found interesting animals and insects for us to see. Without a guide it is next to impossible to spot these creatures.

Great experience! - Wonderful experience! We saw many wild animals, including sloths. The guide gave us a lot of very interesting information about the animals and the vegetation and took nice photos with our mobile. He was very kind and he answered all our questions. A highly recommendable experience!

Our tour was great! Diego... - Our tour was great! Diego was knowledgeable and answered all our questions - we saw things that we would have never seen without him pointing them out to us. He even brought binoculars so we could see things up close. Highly recommend!

Great tour of Manuel Antonio Park - Luis gave a great nature tour of Manuel Antonio Park. We saw lizards, iguanas, three kinds of monkeys, three-toed and two-toed sloths, a toucan, and more. He always had interesting background to share about the animals, and he helped everyone take beautiful photos on their phones through his lens. We’re thankful he suggested we do the hike around Cathedral Point — it was so beautiful, and we saw tons more monkeys!

Skip these guides and visit this park by yourself! - My large family (9 people) took this tour on a very rainy and busy day in December 2024. I really wish we had just opted to walk the park on our own and saved the money from the guide. It started with our guide being late and the other staff had a confusing time tracking him down. Once in the park, I know the guide had trouble finding animals in the rain, but instead of walking us down the scenic trail we spent most of our 3 hours with him on the gravel maintenance road under the utility lines with about 500 other people. Our guide kept bringing us over to other groups in the hope that we could see what they were looking at. He ended up just showing us pictures on his phone of animals that he took on other tours - some were even just downloaded from the internet! Not the way I was hoping to experience the park. It was a very disappointing tour.
