5.00Out guide was great and very knowledgeable. We had a 1 year along with the group and he made us feel comfortable and included the whole time. The path is stroller friendly if you have the larger tires on it. Got great pictures and information. Great pricing for the family and it was a whole day trip with the beach access at the end.
Worth every penny to get access to Harold’s keen eye and nature expertise!

5.00As our 11 year old announced this evening, several hours after our tour, “Harold is AWESOME!” But really, I am so glad that not only did I invest in a tour for our family at MA park, but especially that we toured with Nature Tribe. Harold took great care of us from the time of booking- making sure we had the park tickets and having the parking organized. His communication was great. Once in the park, Harold taught us so much about the nature and animals. He was able to spot so many animals including 5 sloths, and two of them were babies! And his high powered scope allowed us to see all of the creatures up close. And as though that wasn’t great enough, there was a question I asked about a tree he had pointed out. He said he didn’t have the answer but he would get it to me. Well, tonight along with sending amazing photos and videos he took through his scope, Harold sent me a thorough answer to my question. Harold is a wonderful guide and teacher. I highly recommend taking his tour!
Great guide!

5.00We booked a guided walking tour of Manuel Antonio National Park directly at the park entrance with Manuel Antonio Official Tour Guides, because we wanted to avoid tourism agencies and the guides outside the park. Harold from Nature Tribe Costa Rica was our guide and we were very happy with his guidance! We are a family with 2 small children (4 and 1 year old) and a guided walk can be very difficult with them. However, Harold was very patient and friendly with the kids, making the whole experience very enjoyable for all of us! He has a great eye to find animals and is very knowledgeable, making his explanations very interesting for both the adults and the kids. I can certainly recommend him!
Harrold was awesome at Manuel Antonio!

He has deep knowledge and respect for the natural world was able to share his expertise in and gentle and good humored way. Harold answered all my questions with thoughtful and articulate responses in both English and Spanish. He repeatedly spotted and pointed out wildlife that I would have walked right past.

5.00Had a wonderful time with Harold. We followed him in our car down to the park. So, he was able to wave off all of the parking scammers and showed us to a nice spot near the park. Once inside, he was extremely knowledgeable about the animals, their habits and habitat. He was able to spot lots of different creatures we would have missed on our own, and took photos through his scope, which he sent us at the end of the day. In addition to all of that, he was very personable and enjoyable to be around. Overall a great experience.
Harold is awesome!

5.00Harold was super cool and knowledgeable! We had a private tour with him through Manuel Antonio National Park and he showed us tons of fauna and flora that we would have totally missed without him! Would highly recommend seeing the park with a guide and even better if it’s with Harold
