Amazing tour through Manuel Antonio! - We visited the park with 6 adults and 4 children under 10 years old. We had the best time! It is a must to get a private guide for the park otherwise you won’t see nearly as many animals. Our guide Eduardo is great! He followed up with me the morning of via text and made sure I k we exactly where to park and meet him. He was very easy to communicate with. Eduardo was very nice and accommodating! He was very knowledgeable and answered all the questions we had about each animal. He brought his telescope which allowed us to take photos on our IPhones as well. We saw 3 sloths, monkeys, birds, bats, rodents , craps and many insects. I would definitely recommend this tour with this company!

Wonderful experience! - Eduardo was an excellent guide. First, his communication beforehand was excellent. He made sure we knew exactly what we needed to do beforehand, where to park, what the park policies were, etc. He was waiting for us upon our arrival and made sure we had everything we needed along the way. Eduardo was also patient and engaged our children, making sure they could see animals through the scope and answering all of their questions. He was knowledgeable and personable. Most of the guides seem to know each other, and will help point out wildlife so others can enjoy the experience. On more than one occasion, Eduardo was also the one pointing out species for other guides to see. He was everything you want in a guide. We recommend him without reservation!

Must book! No1 guide Manuel Antonio - Already at the entrance spotted wildlife with the guide. A deer. Followed by very rare birds, an American alligator, tucans, sloths, multiple species of monkeys. Guach really knows a lot about animals and about Costa Rica. Best guide you can get.

Great experience with nice guide Eduardo - It was a great experience. Eduardo looked after us very well. We had booked a private tour and so he always took time when there was something interesting to see. He took photos with our smartphone and videos through his binoculars. All questions were answered competently. Highly recommended!

Great tour with guide Luis! - We had a private tour with the guide Luis, which we can only recommend. We saw a lot more animals than we expected. The explanations were interesting and relaxed. We learned a lot in an entertaining way. A great morning!

Excellent guided tour - saw lots of animals and learned about the various species - We greatly enjoyed our tour. Our guide Eduardo had this amazing ability to spot the animals in the dense forest. He would set up the telephoto lens so we could take “National Geographic “ style pictures on our phones. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the different species of animals and plants. One added benefit is that all the guides share info on what they have spotted. Towards the end of the tour Eduardo treated us to a snack in the snack shop (which is caged to keep the monkeys out of course!) and then dropped us off at the beach. We were on our own at that point and were able to enjoy some beach time and a leisurely walk back along a different trail. Note: you need to buy your park entrance tickets - it was easy to buy them from the government parks website. We had a 12:10 tour so we bought 12:00-12:40 entrance window tickets.

Best Tour Guide in Costa Rica! - Eduardo is a fantastic tour guide. He spots animals, that you can‘t even see after he told you where they are. And he takes fantastic photos through his binoculars. 10/10 recommend the tour!
