Wildlife everywhere (if you know where to look!) - Our guide was great - without him I wouldn’t have spotted any of the animals! He used the scope so we could zoom is and let everyone take pictures through the scope to get some amazing close up shots.
You can then stay in the park after the tour to spend time hiking or at the beaches.
The park is busy - there’s no avoiding that. it’s the main attraction in the area but it’s worth it and the money generated is used in a positive way.

Great tour, great beach, bad food! - Our guide Diego was top notch. He knew so much and schooled us on flora and fauna. We saw so many things - birds, sloths, spiders, snakes, monkeys, crabs, etc. We spent a lovely time hiking and sitting on the beach after the tour. Word of warning - the food in the enclosed lunchroom was really, really bad!

Top Notch Tours and Guides - Diego Nature Tours were awesome! Everyone we talked to was extremely professional, courteous and helpful. Communication was easy. And the guides were amazing - they really knew what they were talking about - and helped us get amazing photos. They helped us set up other tours we wanted to do as well. We did 3 tours with them (Night Tour, Chocolate Tour, Manuel Antonio National Park Tour) and loved them all! I highly recommend Diego and his team, and would use them for any other tours they offer - top notch!

Animals galore! - Diego is passionate about the biodiversity within Manuel Antonio National Park. Coupled with his friendliness, it made for a wonderful tour. He shared facts, stories and even some local mythology. Diego located so many animals, and made our trip to the park memorable.

Memorable Experiences with Diego - Diego was extremely friendly and helpful, holds deep knowledge on the different animal species and habitat making possible to everyone see things would have gone unseen.
He carries a cutting-edge set of lenses that capture the smallest details of animal - example: we were able to see a unique spider that is 2inches big and blends in nature to capture its prey’s!
Very good communication and handling the group with different age and nationality.
Diego made a walk in the park become a memorable experience!

Wouldn’t have wanted to see Manuel Antonio any other way! - Our guide, Kahlua, was the best! She spotted EVERYTHING, helped us take great photos, and was just a joy throughout, she made the tour so much fun. The park is absolutely beautiful and a must-see; anyone I know who is interested, I’ve referred back to this company. Kahlua also taught us what to do when encountering wildlife like the capuchins to keep us and the animals safe (extra handy when we had a troop meddling around on the porch of where we were staying, don’t make eye contact!).

Morning Tour of Manuel Antonio - Our guide, Diego, was excellent. His explanations were very engaging and informative. His description of the toileting habits of sloths will stay with me forever. Highly recommend the tour!

Not as advertised - While we had a fabulous guide and saw a lot of wildlife I was disappointed to not get the tour I booked.
We saw sloths and an anteater and many monkeys.
I booked a small tour in English. I got a group of 14 speaking English and Spanish. This slowed the whole tour down. It took longer to look at things as it was a large group including one child who took exceptionally long to view. Explanations were in English and Spanish so we stood for twice as long listening.
The guide was late arriving and I had to ask a local for assistance. He tried calling but got no answer. We then had to wait around longer for extra tour members to arrive. In all I lost 30 minutes of the tour standing around waiting to start.
While I saw a lot, I’m disappointed that I did not get the advertised tour that I booked.
