Fantastic experience - The tour was fantastic! In the morning we started and our guide was very aggressive and shared a lot of his knowledge about the plant and animal world throughout the day!

Beach, sun , wildlife. - What a wonderful experience. The ride was long but broken down by breakfast and shopping. At Manuel Antonio it was amazing seeing animals in their environment. The beach was breath taking and we had a beautiful day!

Incredible experience - The park is very large, you can see quite a few animals, especially monkeys, the tour is very nice, although to get to the San José park it is quite a long journey, but it is worth it, the guide and driver are always professional, attentive to the tourist, The tour is recommended.

Accommodating and Helpful - Nela, our tour guide, was delightful and incredibly knowledgeable. I'm grateful for Inside Tours' flexibility in accommodating my last-minute request to reschedule the tour due to a flight delay that caused us to miss our connecting flight. While the flying experience to Costa Rica wasn't ideal, the communication from the company provided reassurance. I'd also like to note that this rescheduling request was made close to the typical 24-hour cancellation window, ensuring it wasn't within 3-4 hours of the activity just for clarification. As the company does have to purchase the admission tickets to the National Park ahead of time. Overall, I highly recommend!!!!!! Enjoy!!!

Great Time - We had a great time on the way to, at and back from the park. Our guide Arthur was amazing. He was very informative and attentive. On the way there he provide so many interesting facts and pointed lots of things out. The breakfast and lunch were tasty too. We saw lots of animals and the beach is gorgeous!

Great - Our guide was Marianela, she was great and took time to give us information in our tour. She was very helpful and did as in the guide. Will defiantly do it again. The beach was omg and water was great. Yes, obey the rules of the park. They are very strict and don’t bring food or plastic; no gum/snacks/shells One little issue was that she was not given the right code for our group ticket to the park but the time we waited she compensated. It was not her fault it happens plus again our time was not taken off. We got to stop to see the 🐊 that was exciting. Take money to buy gifts to take home. Bring extra bag to put your wet clothes.

Incredible Manual Antonio - My trip to Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica was incredible. The scenery and wildlife were breathtaking, and our guide was knowledgeable. However, I was disappointed when the guide wouldn't drop me off at my hotel just 1 km away from the scheduled stop.

A worthy day trip from San Jose - A nice excursion from San Jose. We saw beautiful birds, a sloth and a coatis, but no monkeys. The beach is stunning and the water is perfect. The guide was knowledgeable and generous, he did a great job pointing out animals during the first part of the park. We had expected the guide to join us on the second part, but we hiked alone and did not see animals. Lunch after the tour at a nearby hotel restaurant was delicious. The tour is recommend but keep your expectations of seeing animals well-managed.

NOPE - I try not to leave bad reviews because it can potentially take food out someones mouth, but at the same time people work hard for their money and should be able to get its worth. This tour is guided by an older gentleman who swears he is the king of tours (just wait) and knows everythingggggg. He promised to stop for fresh fruit and coconuts. They stop for breakfast at El Jardin which is a hugeeeeee tourist trap. You are rushed to eat then shoved back on bus. Longgggg drive to manuel antonio. He DID NOT POINT OUT ANY ANIMALS. if it wasn’t for the prepared guides with binoculars/scopes we wouldn’t have been alerted anything was in area. When you ask to stop to see what people are looking at, he tells you no hurry the beach will be crowded. Is this a nature walk or no???? Anyways, saw lots of monkeys to the point you walk past them like a stray cat. A couple sloths observed. The beach area is awesome. you spend about 3 hours and then leave. We stop for lunch at this sub par restaurant called “villa bosque” which was dead ( I understood why). Your lunch consists of a dry piece of mahi with no rice. Or spaghetti (who orders spaghetti in CR??) or chicken fried rice. The meal was 2 out of 10. Lastly it was time to leave and a female reminded him about the coconuts and which he got upset and said he never said! The driver (bless his heart) said he would stop for us. I recommend you do this tour with someone who actually cares about nature and history. If you have time to take the bus to quepos and find your way here, DO THAT. Its $163 of being in the car 80% of the trip. Not worth it
