An enjoyable mangrove adventure! - This was a wonderful boat tour with Jean Pierre this afternoon! We learned all about the ecosystem and history of the mangroves, in addition to seeing many animals and wildlife. Clear and thorough instructions/directions were provided prior. We highly recommend this tour and tour company to all!

Tour Guide in Manuel Antonio park - We had a wonderful experience in Manuel Antonio park! Our tour guide Diego was very kind and knowledgeable, and had a scope that allowed us to see and take pictures of animals we otherwise wouldn't have been able to see. Would recommend this experience!

Awesome experience with a lot of animals - The tour was very complete, it started right on time. Luis was super nice and we were able to see a lot of animals with his help. I would recommend 100% taking a tour to discover Manuel Antonio instead of going without a tour, and i would recommend 100% taking it with Luis

Must do - That was the best money I spent and worth every penny, if you go there without him you’re cheating yourself out of an experience that you can’t get walking looking around at just trees. He will show you things only seen by the trained eye.

Best Tour Guide Ever - Must take a guide tour to spot wildlife in the park. We are so lucky that we’ve hired tour guide named Diego and let me tell you he was the best. He was the first one to spot sloth and had an amazing eye catching up wildlife. Highly Recommend !!

So much fun! - We had a great time on our tour with Diego! He was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions about the animals in the park. We saw so many different things that we would have never seen on our own. We viewed sloths, monkeys, birds and a snake, lizards, frogs and an anteater! I would recommend this tour to anyone who loves to see and learn about nature!

Great time! - The tour was awesome. Diego was very knowledgeable about the plants and animals in the park. We saw monkeys, sloths, an anteater and more. We would not have seen any of that without a guide. It was well worth the money and I would recommend it to anyone who loves to see and learn about animals.

Get this guide or you’ll miss out! - This was an excellent experience. Our guide, Luis, was fantastic about finding animals before other guides, and took amazing photos for us through the scope. He was funny and engaging. He made my daughter and I very comfortable and showed us so many things we would have never seen!

The Private Tour with Edgar Was Exceptional! - We booked the private Manuel Antonio Park tour with Edgar, and it was the best decision we made. Edgar was absolutely amazing—his deep knowledge of the park and passion for wildlife made the experience unforgettable. We spotted sloths, monkeys, snakes, and so much more thanks to his keen eye and spotting scope. The private tour wasn’t much more than the group option and was well worth it for the personal attention and ability to go at our own pace. Supporting a local guide who genuinely loves his work made this one of the best parts of our trip. Highly recommend this tour and Edgar!
