5.00Great experience! We saw many cute and special animals, like sloths and lizards. Kelvin provided detailed intdoductions to the animals and plants we met. At Last, he spent additional time with me to loom for the White faced monkeys, which i hope to see the most, and we made it!

5.00Kevin was an outstanding guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable, and thanks to him we spotted far more wildlife than we could have on our own. The digital scope and photos were amazing—we saw toucans, other birds, snakes, monkeys, sloths, and more. 10/10 recommend!
Unforgettable time in Manuel Antonio thanks to guide Kevin!

5.00Kevin was an incredible guide for our tour through Manuel Antonio National Park. He was personable, funny, and genuinely made the experience feel special. Thanks to his sharp eye and knowledge of the park, we saw so many animals such as howler and white face monkeys, baby sloths, lizards, insects, frogs, and birds. All the things we hoped for and more! He kept the pace easy, answered every question with patience, and made sure everyone in the group got a great view through the scope. You can tell he loves what he does and it makes the whole tour feel more meaningful. Highly recommend booking with Kevin! You could surely do Manuel Antonio without a tour or guide, but you wouldn't get half the experience you would, ease or animal sighting wise, with one.
Amazing tour with Kevin, worth it!

5.00Great experience with this tour company! We had an amazing guide, Keven Jimenez, who was very nice and also very informative! He made it his mission to find us all of the animals we wanted to see and made it fun along the way. He even took videos and pictures of the animals for us! I would absolutely recommend this tour with Kevin! Totally worth the cost!

5.00Kevin was a great guide, he showed us a lot of well-hidden animals we wouldn‘t have spotted without him. With his telescope we were able to take great pictures as if we were up close. After the tour we walked around the National Park on our own, we recommend Punta Catedral & the two beaches leading up to it.
