An incredible experience - This combo is worth it. My daughter and I really liked the catamaran ride. We were lucky to spot a whale. Already in the park Manuel Antônio, despite the efforts of our guide, we could not see many animals (only a bitch, a crab and an iguana) was very hot and I believe the animals were looking for shelter. The beach was so beautiful it looked like a movie scene. The only problem with this tour (as in many in Costa Rica) is the time you will lose on the road. Seven hours to go and go from SanJase is exhausting. So don't forget that your day will be looooongo. 😉

Imperdible Tour - Sensational Lenny Guide - I bought this tour before arriving in Costa Rica and it went perfectly well. This company is very serious and committed to the customer. Their vehicle is great, our guide Lenny is a very special person, nice, friendly, who teaches us a lot about the culture of the place, in addition to being always willing to exchange information, take photos, a good person with life makes everything better, in addition to being an excellent driver. You can see that she enjoys what she does. It was one of the best days of our trip. On the tour, we saw many animals: lazy animals, dolphins, crocodiles, monkeys, we snorkeled, the catamaran tour is a delight. It's an unforgettable walk. Even more if your time in Costa Rica is short. Indicate too much!!

What an Amazing Day Trip! - We enjoyed very much this day trip. Our amaizing guide, Lenny was very friendly, knowledgeable, pointed to us wildlife such as gourgeus toucans and made sure we were comfortable at all times during the trip. The catamaran cruise was great, we enjoyed snorkeling and seeing the beautiful fish. We stopped for a swim Manuel Antonio Beach. There, we also had the privilege to meet a group of adorable capuchin monkeys, which for me were probably the highlight of the day!! Last but not least, we enjoyed very much the beautiful trails, suspended bridges and got to swim in the water holes on the river in the Rainmaker Nature Preserve. This was offered to us as an alternative to Manuel Antonio National Park, which had no more tickets available for the date we selected. Overall we had a wonderful experience!

Amazing views and monkeys!! - We had the best tour and Lenny was an incredible guide! She made the whole trip perfect, even with the rain. The bus ride is a bit of a trek but it was very nice to see the countryside and different towns on the way. The boat ride was very fun and lunch was amazing! Our favorite part was getting to spot the monkeys in the park! Lenny went above and beyond for us and we are so thankful! You won’t regret this tour!

Wonderful Trip to Manuel Antonio and the Sea! - We had the most wonderful time on our trip with our guide, Lenny! She was personable, knowledgeable, and took care of our every need. The driving was easy and comfortable, the catamaran was amazing and we saw so many beautiful sites! Getting the chance to walk through Manuel Antonio Park was very special and we saw amazing wildlife. The beach was beautiful and we were allowed to relax and swim as much as we wanted. By the end of the trip, Lenny felt like a dear friend and we would highly recommend this trip to anyone. Thank you for such a great experience!

A magical place!!!! - I must begin by commenting that Costa Rica is a country full of natural treasures. Manuel Antonio is one of them, I really am very happy with this tour, it offers 2 experiences that make it unique, the trip in the catamaran allows you a moment of indescribable relaxation, that connects you with nature, to be able to swim and see fish of different types, hundreds of them, dolphins, I even had the good fortune to see a whale in the distance, makes us think about the great nature. The visit to the Park is the best, seeing that lot of animals living with humans naturally is incredible, they let themselves be seen without fear, see the sloth, the deer, the iguanas, the monkeys and in the end swimming in a white sand beach and crystal clear waters is something that is really worth it. As for the company, it is a company that fulfills what it offers, the Guide knows a lot about your country and the flora and fauna, the food is good, I really recommend it.

Land, sea and jungle in one - Minor and his crew on the catamaran trip were awesome. Food n drinks were tasty. Wish i could’ve seen a bit more marine life but can’t control nature. Our tour guide/driver was atrocious and should be fired. He was not there for any of the guests on the trip. Poor attitude and should be not be in his job.

Don’t book this tour! - Our driver Jairo was a terrible host. First he picked us up at 5 am, but couldn’t be bothered to pull into our hotel, he waited on the busy street with doors to load in traffic. The “light breakfast” was a banana and a gas station sandwich. We rode in silence for 3 hours to the catamaran dock. Not once did he point out any interesting landmarks or give us any interesting facts about his country. When we arrived at the catamaran his instructions were terrible and told us we couldn’t bring our bags, we had to leave them in the van. However others had their bags. Sunset tours was amazing! We had the greatest experience when Jairo wasn’t there. Next we went to Manuel Antonio park, it only got worse here. First he asked who just wanted to go to the beach instead of a guided tour. We all opted for the guided tour which was very lacking. He quickly walked us through the trail stopping maybe 3 times for no more than 3 minutes because he was in a hurry to dump us at the beach. He brought a telescope, but I’m not sure if he knew how to use it because he never set it up once to show us anything. If it wasn’t visible with the naked eye Jairo was not interested. He was very rushed, even though we still had 2 1/2 hours at the park he dumped us at the beach and told us how to get back to the parking lot. On the drive back 4 more hours of silence. When my husband asked if he could put music on the answer was no. When being dropped off at our hotel (Gran hotel downtown) again he couldn’t be bothered to pull into the hotel and instead let us out into busy traffic after dark. No concern for our safety. I absolutely believe he should not be in the tourism industry as he was a terrible host/ guide. In all honesty I think they didn’t have a guide and just gave us a bus driver. Definitely not worth the money paid for this trip.
