Worth every penny! - AMAZING! Our guide, Albin, was so incredible! There is no chance we would have seen half of what we did without him. He was also really kind and generous with his time and knowledge!!

Great experience!!! - Our incredible guide Albin was extremely knowledgeable and helped us spot 3x sloths, the elusive stick bird and much more. We got lucky in that it was only us in the group so it felt like a private excursion. Can’t recommend enough :)

Amazing tour with Andrea - Andrea is so lovely and shared a lot of knowledge about nature, plants, and animals. We enjoyed it so much, especially spotting the three-toed sloth. It was also wonderful that there weren’t many people around, which made the experience even more special. Andrea took fantastic pictures for us, making this day truly memorable.

Highlight of our trip. - Roger was such an awesome guide. He really has an eye for seeing all of the wildlife. He would find something so small, put the telescope on it and it would be a fantastic view. Something we couldn’t even pick out without the telescope. I highly recommend this tour with Roger. He spoke English very well and we had a fantastic time. Thank you so much!

Amazing tour and guide! - We did the 10:30 tour of Manuel Antonio national park; Luis Venegas was our guide, and made the experience so fun and informative! He used a scope with a special attachment for his cell phone so that we could better see some of the wildlife that was high up in the trees (like the four sloths he found!), or to give better detail to much smaller things, like butterflies or colorful grasshoppers. He also took video and photos while doing this, and sent all of the images to us via What’s App; this was so great since our own phone cameras could not always get the best picture. Luis was so knowledgeable, and we learned quite a lot on our tour about the park, its inhabitants, and the care that is put forth to create a good experience for visitors and the wildlife. 10:30 was the perfect time to go; we saw a coati, a Jesus Christ lizard, iguanas, a squirrel monkey, a beautiful green snake, four sloths (two toed, and three toed, plus one with a baby!); once the tour was over, we ended at the beautiful beach, and had time to hang out at the park; ask for Luis for your next tour at Manuel Antonio park!!

I would suggest going as... - I would suggest going as early in the day as you can. This is when animals are most active. We had a little bad luck and that it was pouring rain for the first half hour of our tour, so there were not too many animals out… But our guide was still able to find some for us. He also helped us get really good pictures with our phones through his scope. Saw two sloths, a capuchin monkey, howler monkey and various and sundry other birds, snakes and crabs and insects…
