Tubing experience - This review while a little late is the review I wanted to be SURE I wrote. We went tubing and our instructor and guide was Jason. I wanted to be sure to write this review because while the experience was great, Jason deserves the 5 stars! The experience was AMAZING thanks to him. I have a huge fear of water and flipping over (I did not flip) and Jason was SOOO kind and assuring. He helped ease all my fears away. Jason has so much knowledge about the river, plants, wildlife, and so much more. I truly do not think I would have been able to relax and take in this experience without Jason. I am SOO grateful to him. Id definitely book with extreme M&R again and special request Jason!
As you float down the river, take a moment to appreciate the surrounding beauty. The lush greenery, the vibrant wildlife, and the sheer joy of being in such a pristine environment make this an unforgettable experience.

Manuel Antonio Park is a treasure trove of wildlife, and with a seasoned guide by your side, you’re guaranteed to spot creatures you might otherwise miss. From monkeys swinging through the trees to sloths lazily hanging from branches, every step in the park is a discovery. A review from April 24, 2025, highlights the magic of this tour:
Animal filled walk through the jungle - Rodolfo was a terrific guide. Extremely knowledgeable, excellent at spotting animals and very personable. Would recommend!
The park’s beaches are equally stunning, offering a perfect spot to relax after your hike. Remember to pack your swimsuit and personal water flask, as commercial plastic bottles are not allowed. As you walk through the park, let the sounds of the jungle envelop you, and feel the pulse of nature in every breath.
