Manuel Antonio National Park Wildlife Tour
Description
Our job is the best in the World! We show people not only some of the most amazing landscapes in Costa Rica, but we get to witness the awe in people’s eyes when we show our country and our region. We believe that tropical nature has many more secrets than the ones you can perceive with your senses, the relations, and all the life systems that depend on these connections. And it is a privilege to discover them for all people’s eyes and minds. Our guides are all professionals, certified and passionate about nature. They all have a true appetite for knowledge and they will provide you with a true Costa Rican rainforest set of experiences.

Our tour guide, Alex was amazing. He was patient, knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable. He used his telescope to see a lot of the wild life. The experience of seeing a tiny frog on a leaf to seeing the sloths and the different monkey was mind blowing. We ended the tour at the Manuel Antonio beach inside the park. That was the perfect way to end my day. Make sure your water is on reusable bottles. No plastic bottles. Food, tobacco, vape aerosols, etc are allowed in the park. Read the message they send with the instructions. I also suggest packing an umbrella and a bag to protect your backpack in case it rains (I went in July and it rained). Although, the rain is refreshing. .
This is a great tour company to use. We were picked up on time and greeted by our guide upon arrival to the park. Viviana was our tour guide and she was one of our best guides during our time in CR. She is extremely knowledgeable and we learned so much from her.
Fantastic visit to Manuel Antonio Park. Our guide was excellent he spotted many things that we would have never seen. Near the end we saw a sloth come out of a tree come down to the ground and go back up again which is extremely rare only when they use the bathroom once a week. They are so cool to see when they move. Also we were within touching distance of a white-faced monkey really enjoyed the walk.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your visit to Manuel Antonio National Park and had the chance to witness such a rare sloth sighting. We’re glad our guide helped make the experience special. We hope to see you again on another adventure!
Alex was an amazing and very knowledgeable guide. We saw every animal the park had to offer, and we left with many incredible photos. It's tempting to search for animals on your own in the park, but if you get a Guide, they will make sure you don't miss anything!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear you had an amazing experience with Alex. His knowledge and keen eye for wildlife truly help guests discover animals they might otherwise miss. We’re glad you left with incredible memories and photos. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Rolando was our guide. He was knowledgeable, patient, and kind. His English was great (we don't speak spanish). He helped us see a lot, including a porcupine, which we hear is relatively rare. He brought a great spotting scope and an attachment that allows him to take pictures with his phone, which he shared with us. Overall, amazing experience!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Rolando made your experience so memorable. We’re glad you were able to spot so much wildlife, including the rare porcupine! It’s great to know his knowledge, patience, and spotting scope helped you enjoy the tour and capture special photos. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again on a future adventure!
Jacob was awesome. Even with how heavy it was raining, he was still able to point out a two toad sloth, and three toad sloth among other animals. He made the tour very enjoyable.
Thank you for your kind review! We’re so happy to hear that Jacob made your tour enjoyable despite the heavy rain. It’s wonderful that you were able to see both a two-toed sloth and a three-toed sloth, along with other wildlife. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again soon!
Our family of 6 went and we had a wonderful time. We were totally blown away by Rolo, our guide, and his knowledge and ability to spot so much different wildlife. It was truly incredible. He really could find the smallest creature in this huge rainforest. No joke. It seriously was amazing! He also used a scope w a phone attachment. He got pictures and videos with amazing quality and so up close and detailed. It was like you were right up by the animal. He texted all the pictures and videos to us as well. His English was great too. It was an awesome day! Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so happy your family had an amazing time with Rolo. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. Thanks for recommending us, and we hope to see you again in Costa Rica! 🦥🌿😊
We booked a private guided tour with hotel pickup. The guide and the park tour went well, even though the visit was a bit rushed. I am, however, truly disappointed with the service. After the tour, we took the bus that had dropped us off at the park, and when we arrived at the hotel, the driver asked us for $5 per person, totaling $25, telling us that only the outbound trip was included. At no point did the provider or the driver inform us that the return trip would incur an additional charge or mention the price. Two Ubers would have cost us half as much. Be careful, this is a real scam!
Hello this I Mike’s Nature management I just wan to apologize for your inconvenience, but in our transportation we don’t charge any money, we don’t have your reservation in our system this is Mikes nature tours, can you check if you have your reservation with us or other company because this is serious complain and if you check most like all our reservations, we provide the round-trip service transportation and We Don’t Charge, Any Money Sorry for your Experience but we would like to know if you are talking with the wrong agency.

Jacob was our guide and his knowledge, skill in finding camouflaged and elusive animals was exceptionally. He was also very patient in helping us spot what he was seeing and brought a huge fixed lens on a tripod so we could get close up views. He even spotted a sloth having breakfast before we even entered the park. Finally he was happy to take photos and video with his lens and our cameras, so that we could remember these moments for ever. Thank you Jacob for such a special experience!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re very happy to hear you had such a special experience with Jacob. His passion for wildlife and talent for spotting animals truly make every tour unique. We’re glad you enjoyed the close-up views and photos to remember the experience forever. We hope to see you again soon in Manuel Antonio National Park!
Private tour and so worth it to have the ability to go our pace with a very knowledgeable guide! Rushed ending as we were combined with group tour for return to hotel rather than private transportation we paid for. In addition, Guide did not understand personal space.
Thank you for your feedback. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience with us. We’re sorry for the inconvenience regarding the transportation. One of the vehicles had an unexpected issue that morning, so we decided to pick everyone up together to avoid making guests wait longer. Unfortunately, we failed to properly communicate the situation, and we understand how that could be frustrating. We’re also sorry if any part of the experience did not feel as comfortable as expected. Our team always tries to be respectful and provide the best possible service to every guest, so we will take your comments into consideration to continue improving. We’re glad you still joined us and we sincerely appreciate your understanding. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an even better experience in the future.
