Great guide, amazing animals - We had a great walk through the Manuel Antonio forest and spotted amazing animals! Our guide Alex was what made our tour different from all the others! You can tell that he is in love what he is doing and he is very knowledgeable and helpful! He made sure we got really good viewing angles on wild animals that we wouldn't be able to see on our own.

Wonderful time! - We had a great time! Saw a lot of different and exciting animals, and the tour guide Andrey was lovely and very knowledgable! We were also (accidentally) slightly late for the tour, but they still welcomed us with open arms inside the park. Would highly recommend!

The Tour to Do - Guides were great. No way you could spot the many animals we saw on the tour. Overall, this was a great tour. Both of our guides could not have been nicer or better informed.

Great tour to experience the wild life in Manuel Antonio - I had a great experience with this tour, I saw a lot of animals like sloths, monkeys and birds which I wouldn't have been able to spot on my own. My guide Albin was very friendly and knowledgeable about the forest and animals. He took a lot of pictures for me and made sure I saw the animals I really wanted to which was really nice. He even recommended what I should do in the park after my tour and gave me great tips. So in conclusion it was a highlight of my trip to Costa Rica and I had a great time :)

Far too expensive! - The tour with Felix was interesting and although there were so many people there, we still saw and learned something. He knows a lot and was very friendly and patient. The price-performance ratio is simply oversized.

Did not show; did not refund. - Steve’s tours did not show. Called me after the tour time was supposed to start and I far been frantically trying to find them at multiple restaurants called “Alex.” Said they couldn’t get my ticket and would refund me. Weeks later I have not received despite my outreach.

Cancelled with 4 days to go - The tour operator cancelled on me four days before the tour and two weeks after I had booked it. This could have been a major problem as the tour included admission to the park which was completely sold out by the time of cancellation. Luckily I was able to find another tour with admission included. But the negligence of this tour operator nearly cost my family the chance to go to the Manuel Antonio Nature preserve on our trip to Costa Rica. Under those circumstances I am surprised (as you can see in the screenshot) that they didn't even apologize.

Very Poor Experience!! Unprofessional Tour Co. - Very poor experience. Poor administration once booked. Chased several times for passport info having sent it when first requested. I tried to call to sort out but they do not answer phone calls. I booked an ENGLISH speaking tour and that's what my confirmation stated, when I got there we found we were with 6 spanish speaking people and the tour proceeded 90%in spanish. We had to travel very early in the morning to get there for a 7 30am start We were 15 minutes away when they sent a WhatsApp saying due to Thanksgiving queues it would now be an 8am start (why didn't they tell us this the night before?) when I queried this, they then said it was due to rain, it just felt like excuses to me. The tour guide was not very good, no information on flora, just animals and finished the 2 hour tour after 1hr 15mins. I tried to sort this out with the company before posting this, but they got defensive and blamed me for not understanding! I know I booked an ENGLISH speaking tour, and I received a 1hr 15min your that was conducted 90% in spanish. BUYER BEWARE!!
