What To Expect

Manuel Antonio National Park

Your day begins at the park entrance, or with optional pickup at selected locations. After you purchase Manuel Antonio National Park entrance tickets (at your own expense), you’ll continue into the nature reserve with a naturalist guide. Exploring this wildlife hotspot with a naturalist makes the most of every minute, as their trained eyes quickly spot animals such as monkeys, sloths, toucans, and more. And, this tour’s small-group format means more personalized attention from the guide. You can also use the group’s spotting scope to observe wildlife and take photos. A flexible itinerary, meanwhile, is tailored to guest preferences, whether you’re all about the jungle or interested in a beach walk. In between stops enjoy provided snacks, as well as the climate-controlled comfort of a tour vehicle for pickup and drop off. While this walking nature tour concludes at the park entrance, you’ll also have the option to stay inside the park. The tour guides have a Jade Tours uniform

Lots of people over the Christmas break, but this is well worth it and a must-do if in the area. Impressive how Costa Rica protects it’s environment!! The guide will make all the difference, and our guide, Javier, was a 10/10!!! We say a variety of insects, crabs, monkeys, burds, sliths, etc. The stop at the pristine and beautiful beach was great!! Highly recommended as a must-do. We did the tour that started at noon. The tour is mostly shady, so it wasn’t overly hot!
Small park yet packed all of the animals in!

Brad (Brian) was great! He found all the animals, from small to large, making sure we all got a chance to see them, and helping to make a photo album on our phones.

We had a good time with Elliot! He spotted a lot of animals (sloths, monkeys , baby hummingbirds, snakes...) and had loads of knowledge he shared. The tour lasted around three hours and we had an overall good time. The downside of the popularity of the park is that it is super full and the crowds don't really disperse, I found that quite stressful at times, it's still worth a visit though and one should definitely book a guide otherwise you'll miss out
Muchas Gracias Elliott

Wonderful experience! Kenneth is knowledgeable and super friendly. Allows time for everyone to ask questions and see all the animals. We were able to see 2 types of monkeys, sloths, birds, and reptiles. Gave plenty of time to experience the beautiful beaches too!

I was worried about the crowds in December but Rodolfo was brilliant. He knew where to find everything, when to stay with the crowd and when to veer off on our own. We saw sloths, monkeys, butterflies, deer, Gutis, crabs and a snake. Totally worthwhile
Elliot was amazing!

Our guide Elliot was amazing! Our tour was almost 4 hours long. We saw sloths, lizards, birds and tons of monkeys even baby monkeys. The tour was well worth the price and Elliot knew so much and was able to find things other guides didn't.
Highly recommend!

An amazing experience!!! Our guide was Elliot, and he was so knowledgeable! We saw many animals that we never would’ve been able to spot on our own. He also took pictures through his scope and sent them to all of us at the end. 10/10 experience
Absolutely amazing!

Elliott was a fantastic tour guide! He was an expert at pointing out the wildlife and was so knowledgeable about the various plants and animals in the park. He moved at the pace of our group, which the older folks really appreciated. I would highly recommend a Jade Tour with Elliott to anyone!
