Animal Tour Guide Kevin :) - I had a great time with our guide Kevin! He was so fun and informative, and he pulled out all the tricks to help us see some creatures! I would highly recommend this tour, especially with Kevin! Seeing sloths, monkeys, and toucans was an experience I will never forget! Thank you Kevin!

Amazing! 5/5 recommend! - Kevin was our tour guide and he was great! He asked us what animals we were hoping to see and then did his best to help us see them all- and we did! Sloths, monkeys, toucans, lizards, and more! We ended at the beach and spent time swimming and chilling on the beach. Overall a wonderful experience, would definitely recommend Kevin as a tour guide!!!

Manuel Antonio is just amazing. - Show up on time. It is way too much information to share just to get a ticket but the park is just amazing. The guides are great and they really made the experience really memorable.

Great experience - Bruce was a fantastic tour guide, super kind, friendly & honest about the possibilities of seeing wildlife. We saw a tucán, sloths, iguanas, monkeys, and many more species. It was a great experience and I wouldn’t definitely recommend. Without a tour guide you would not be able to see these animals because of the microscopes they use- so I would go with a tour rather than alone.

Highly recommend! Don’t go without a guide - We met Albin (our tour guide) at the front gate to the park. He was so informative and had so many cool facts about the park and its wildlife. If you are thinking about doing the tour without a guide, think twice about it. Hiring a guide is well worth the extra money, our guide Albin had a scope and pointed out things that we would have otherwise missed. One thing I really wanted to see was sloths, there was literally one right in front of our eyes and I would have missed it without Albin’s eyes! Highly recommend!!

Get a guide. Ask for Kevin. - Kevin was great- we got there an hour early to try and spot animals ourselves and saw a crab and a capuchin. Kevin gets there and showed us all of these animals that we missed that were just a few meters away from the entrance! While I think you’ll have fun there by yourself, I think you’d experience so much more with a guide.

A Guide is Worth it - Our tour guide Albin was absolutely incredible. He was able to find animals so quickly that we would’ve never seen without him, and he was extremely knowledgeable about all of the animals in Costa Rica. He was even flexible for our requests about what part of the park we wanted to see.However I would not recommend booking a tour at 1pm or later, because the beach closes early at 2:50pm.

Amazing time at Manuel Antonio park - 5 🌿✨ Just had an amazing time at Manuel Antonio National Park in Costa Rica! This stunning destination is a true showcase of the country’s incredible ecology and biodiversity. We spotted playful monkeys, sloths, and vibrant birds while exploring the lush rainforests. The park's beautiful beaches, with soft sands and crystal-clear waters, were perfect for family fun and relaxation. Costa Rica’s commitment to conservation makes this place a must-visit for nature lovers! 🌊🌺❤️
