Driver was on time and our guide, Francisco, was excellent. Would definitely recommend having a guide, as we would not have seen the wildlife otherwise.

Amazing guide knowledgeable, funny and kind. Added to the experience! Found animals no one else could see and answered all questions no problem
- KRISTEN S, MAY 2018
I was glad I got a guide because they found animals that I would have never spotted on my own. They are funny and a plus was you do not have to stand in line to wait for a ticket.

Beautiful park, great informative guide (would never have spotted the animals without him). Amazing beach. Monkeys and raccoons on the beach were cute and funny and even though they will steal your food I think its part of what makes the experience so memorable. Definately recommend.

We saw so many animals and got to swim at beach.
- DANNA R, APR 2018
Great tour but the place was really crowed with a lot of tourists.
We spotted a lot of wildlife as well with our guide help.
The guide was funny, friendly and professional.
A tour that should be done if you go to CR.

The Park was a little crowded at first. Our guide was exceptional. The tour was longer than advertised. It was informational, beautiful and the monkeys really put on a show.

This was a wonderful tour and our guide, Juan, was so friendly and knowledgeable. He clearly loves what he does. We saw so many amazing animals that day--it was a great introduction to the beauty and nature of Costa Rica.

Interesting, educational beyond expectations!
- ELIZABETH T, MAR 2018
Our tour guide Edgar was great at spotting the wildlife and taking the time to explain and point them out. Having a guide made such a difference because there’s no way we would have been able to spot the sloths or some of the other creatures without his keen eye. Would highly recommend Edgar.

Our tour guide Jason, was highly educated and could not only find animals otherwise well hidden, but had an extensive knowledge he shared with us about all the species found in the park.
- KIRSTEN P, JAN 2018
Take the guided tour for sure. The guides will spot things you would miss and you'll be able to use their spotter scopes to take great photos with your smartphone. Our guide was a bit late meeting us and we started later than planned and the walk was about 4 hours. Well worth it but it was pretty warm and humid, even in January. Take a full bottle of water and fill it up at the water taps if needed. The park is VERY crowded but the number of animals you see is still worth it.
- ROBERT W, JAN 2018
We took the early morning tour and I am glad we did it because there were long lines of people entering the park we saw as we were exiting the park. Perhaps it was an unusual day, we hoped to see lot more birds and animals than what we saw.

Got to see lots of wildlife and spend some time on the beach. Trails are well defined. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the place was packed. I don't know if this is normal or not, but we couldn't go anywhere without bumping into other groups. We did a similar tour in Arenal and saw just as much wildlife, but hardly ran into a person the whole time. The sheer amount of monkeys you get to see at the beach is definitely worth the trip through manuel antonio national park though.
- DANIEL T, DEC 2017
Juan was so knowledgeable and patient. His English was particularly good so he tolerated my many questions with grace and thoughtful responses! He was very skilled at finding wildlife. It was delightful. There were only 6 of us in the group, so that made it especially nice. We loved the delicious snack provided after the tour.

This park is a fairly easy hike on level ground. Not much climbing at all, but the path was a vehicular road and park crews occasionally would be driving on it. We did not go into the forest, so I don't know if there are walking trail inside. Tour took us to the beach for a short time where we saw monkeys, raccoons and coatis looking for food handouts. The coastline is beautiful. Our guide was very knowledgeable. We also saw a couple of sloths, snakes and an iguana. There is a restroom halfway through the tour.
