Great way to learn about flora and fauna

4.00This tour was a great way to learn about the flora and fauna in Manuel Antonio national park. It would be easy to miss many of the animals (lizards, hummingbirds, spiders etc) without a guide to point them out. Communication was great and it was easy to find the parking lot and meeting spot. Only complaint is just how busy the park is (which is of course out of the tour company’s control) but it felt like we walked and then stopped very frequently and never really broke away from the crowds. Our guide was very knowledgeable and glad we did this vs just exploring on our own!
You will see monkeys!

5.00We had a great guide that showed us so may different animals we would not have seen on our own. The group was relatively small (7), and we were able to ask questions and hear. This was well worth the small fee.
Great Guide!

5.00It was a wonderful tour. Luis Alberto, with his extensive knowledge, introduced us to the wonders of the Manuel Antonio National Park. All communication went smoothly, the tickets were taken care of, and the guide accompanied us in a very friendly and helpful way. We saw a lot of beautiful wildlife and got to enjoy the park’s stunning beaches and nature.

5.00We had an amazing private guided tour of Manuel Antonio National Park with Luis. He was an outstanding guide - incredibly enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the wildlife that lives in the park and Costa Rica. Thanks to him, we spotted so many animals we would have completely missed on our own, including a baby sloth!
Great day!

5.00The tour with Luis Roberto was amazing, not only showed us all the fauna that was in the park that day, it also gave us recommendations and helped us choose other activities. We also had a problem with the dates and changed the tour date without problem. Pleasure!
