It was an amazing tour!!!! The guide was very knowledgable and shared lots of interesting information about the tour. We saw plenty of animals like the white faced monkey, different species of lizards, boa constrictor snakes, tucans, and my favorite, are the sloths!!! Such an amazing tour. I highly recommend along with the Manuel Antonio Park Tour. These two tours are a must things to do when in Manuel Antonio! I highly recommend Steve Tours!!!

I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to find peace and quiet in nature, away from civilization. 🌿 The diversity and adaptability of the different mangrove species was particularly fascinating. We learned that there are red, black, and white mangroves—each with its own unique characteristics and functions within the ecosystem. Our guide also picked the different fruits for us and showed us how monkeys open and eat them, for example. The wildlife in the mangroves was also fascinating. We were able to observe birds, crabs, small reptiles, and monkeys in their natural habitat. The monkeys even jumped onto our boat and wanted to see us up close—a real experience for nature lovers and animal enthusiasts!

We are very happy that we took part in this boat ride. We saw a lot of animals - lizards, iguanas, crocodiles, monkeys that interacted with us, a sloth, 3 snakes, fish, birds, just a great experience. The cruise itself through the mangroves is absolutely scenic and relaxing. Our guide was fine, funny, knowledgeable. Although the attraction cost a lot of money, we don't regret it, it was money well spent. Costa Rican nature is just a treasure. Thank you.

Absolutely recommend this tour! We took the morning Mangrove boat tour with Alex and had the best time. He is an absolute gem. Along with teaching about the biodiversity and animals of Costa Rica, he shared beautiful life lessons that will stay with us well beyond our trip. We decided to pack our camera away so while we don’t have photos to share, through the mangroves was such a special experience. From beginning to end, this was a magical experience. 12/10 would recommend!

We did the tour of Manuel Antonio National Park and also this boat mangrove tour to see animals and we were fascinated by the experience of having the animals so close was unique and very educational guide Alex knows how to call the animals to reach the boat.... we saw monkeys, snakes, many birds, gauntlet, crabs and a beautiful sloth the iguanas can be seen at close range we saw the 2 species and the basilisks that walk on the water itself was a very complete tour and at the meeting site there is free parking that was very helpful.
