What To Expect

Manuel Antonio National Park

Our activity consist on an easy, slow, nice 2,2 kilometers walk on a gravel trail and sandy trail near the beach, spotting as much wildlife as possible. We focus and wildlife spotting, nature photography, share nature updated information and some stories accumulated in the field. Nearly 2 hours after we started the walk we arrive to a coffee shop, here we can make a short break, so, you can buy something to eat or to drink. Just 100 meters ahead Manuel Antonio National Park safest and mean swimming beach invites you to swim, this a white and fine sandy beautiful beach. Just another 100 meters ahead a second nice swimming beach, here we usually finish our activity, so you can stay in the park, but if planning to leave the park we make 25 minutes brake for you to take some pics or quickly jump in the water. Walking back to the park entrance is faster due that, by this time it's already hot and most animals already had their breakfast, but landscape is still wonderful.

Albin was our guide and did a great job finding all kinds of animals that we didn’t see on our own. Our six- and eight-year-olds enjoyed the tour. The tour ended at the beach.
Kevin is a wonderful guide!

Albin Gutierez was a fantastic guide! He showed us animals we would have missed completely without a guide and he was able to tell us a lot about them and the rainforest in general. His education and guidance made what would have otherwise been a walk in some big trees a true rainforest experience.
A Highlight!

This was a fantastic tour! We would never had seen the animals we saw with the expertise of our guide, Luis. He found multiple sloths, a variety of monkeys, and was able to locate many other fascinating plants, animals, and insects. He was fun and engaging and so knowledgeable. He shared beautiful pictures with us of everything we saw so we have keepsakes in addition to a fun memory of our visit to the park!
Manuel Antonio is just amazing.

Show up on time. It is way too much information to share just to get a ticket but the park is just amazing. The guides are great and they really made the experience really memorable.
