Manuel Antonio Hiking Tour - Dylan is an expert at local wildlife, both in terms of knowledge but also in terms of spotting even the smallest camouflaged animals. He is also an accomplished photographer who will share with you all the incredible shots taken during the visit. Best wildlife tour guide ever!!!

Amazing private tour of Manuel Antonio! - Dylan was an amazing guide through Manuel Antonio and we would’ve missed so much without him. He took our family of 4 on a private tour and was patient with our 6 and 4 year old throughout the experience, answered all our questions and is a wealth of knowledge that can easily adjust to your background. We would highly recommend him to anyone asking, and if you’re on the edge about a guided tour just do it! It is worth it!

Dylan is your guy! - Dylan made the park an entirely different experience! We would have missed so many insects, birds, a snake and lots of vegetation without his expertise! Not to mention the monkeys and sloths! He knows his stuff and has a passion for sharing the information with his guest. Thanks Dylan! We needed you on the rest of our trip! 😂

Dylan is a fantastic guide!! - We had a fantastic time with our guide Dylan, he was incredibly knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of Manuel Antonio park and we learned so much. He clearly loves nature and all of the creatures and did a wonderful job explaining. It's so worth it to see the park with a guide, he was really good at spotting animals and was often showing other guides on the trail where to look. We saw monkeys, sloths, hummingbirds, insects, spiders, crabs, lizards, and more! I'd definitely recommend booking Dylan as your guide. The communication in advance was excellent, they make sure you know how to get tickets, what to bring (and what not to), where to park, etc.

Great tour with lots of wildlife - Tour of Manuel Antonio was excellent, one of our best days in Costa Rica. Our guide Dayana was brilliant, so knowledgeable and found so many animals. We would have seen hardly any of them without her. She took some great photos which she then sent onto us. I highly recommend this tour if you want see Costa Rican wildlife.

Manuel Antonio - Dylan was our guide for MA. He made it an incredible trip. We learned so much about Costa Rican nature. He was able to spot so many animals. We felt safe the entire time, grateful for the dip in the ocean at the end. Highly recommend!!

Amazing! Dylan’s spotting scope skills were next level! You won’t regret booking. - Dylan was an outstanding guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna. The way he communicated his knowledge was spectacular too. There were many times you would maybe think “hmm where is he going with this,” but his ideas would always come full circle in a moment of group revelation! You can tell he has spent serious time studying and researching everything he says and how he wants to communicate it, especially his infections passion for conservation. This tour was one of our groups favorite activities during our trip and we can’t recommend Dylan enough!!!

Great Outing Highly Recommended - Dylan was our guide for a hike through Manuel Antonio National Park. We had an extraordinary outing. He is informative, understanding of physical limitations, entertaining, and knowledgeable of all things in the natural environment. If we could write 6 stars we would. Highly recommend an outing with this operator.
