This was such a fun tour that allowed us to see so much wildlife that we would not have seen without our guide! Tickets for Manuel Antonio National Park were sold out when we tried to buy online, but luckily this tour company had some available through their tour so we could still see the park. Our guide Andrey was excellent! He was clearly passionate about what he was doing and very knowledgeable about the wildlife in Manuel Antonio. When my sister went to the park without a guide, she said she saw almost no wildlife, but with a guide we were stopping constantly to see animals that we would never have seen without him, including sloths. The tour ended at the beach, where we were able to spend the rest of the day and see even more wildlife. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Scratching sloth and fighting monkeys made my day. Early morning is best, as the tourists accumulate by 11 am

Thanks to Juan Castro and his wife, we had a very nice experience and we saw a lot of animals. We went at 7 am and it was not very crowded yet.

It was an amazing experience! I'm so happy we did it with our guide, Andrew Lindwedel. He did a great job, and we were lucky to see all the animals we were planning to see. He also gave us interesting information. We absolutely loved it!

When the guide was not joking we learned quite a bit. But he joked constantly and was quite loud when he should been quieter in a national park. We saw sloths, a snake, a potoo, monkeys, a lizard. It was very humid and the park does not allow single use water bottles which is unfortunately what we had. The beaches were lovely.

Thank you for joining our national park tour! We apologize for the guide's loudness and constant joking, which may have affected your experience. We'll address this internally for future tours. We're glad you enjoyed the wildlife sightings, despite the noise. We also regret any inconvenience with the single-use water bottles; we'll ensure better adherence to park policies in the future. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to welcome you back for a more serene experience!

Beautiful beach and amazing animals. Our tour guide, Alvin Gutierrez, is excellent! He knows where to take us and we saw plenty of sloths, white monkeys, bird, bats, dragonfly, poisonous snake! Thank you for an amazing experience.

We had an awesome tour with Sergio! He helped us find so many different animals and birds during our tour, including quite a few sloths. He was very friendly, funny, and helpful. He took lots of great photos for our group as well.
Lannie_S, Apr 2024
We met our guide Sergio at the park gates and within minutes we were spotting incredible wildlife! We had a small group allowing us lots of time to view animals behind the guides’ telescope and to learn interesting animal/ecosystem facts. I felt like I truly got to experience the beauty of the park with this tour ending at Manuel Antonio beach — I highly recommend this!
Brooke_S, Apr 2024
We would not have had nearly as good of an experience if we didn’t have a guide.
Alex Rojas was INCREDIBLE - highly recommend.
Also tip- we were there during Easter week- get there 1/2 hour before tour starts - you will need it to get situated. MA is CRAZY BUSY.
We cut it too close but the office was very helpful with helping us find our guide.

The guide didn't show up! I booked the tickets months in advance and call Viator the week prior to going to Costa Rica to be sure everything was arranged. I was told it was. When the guide didn't show up we were lucky to find a tour guide that the park provided. He was excellent and we had just our group and 2 other people. I have had other good experiences with Viator but definitely don't book this tour!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
I understand your frustration with the situation, and I apologize for any inconvenience you experienced. However, it's important to clarify that without park entrance tickets, accessing the park is not possible. The tour was scheduled to commence at 1 pm, and regrettably, we couldn't accommodate your late call to our office, particularly considering the absence of the necessary entrance tickets at that time. Additionally, despite our attempts to reach you through numerous calls and messages, we didn't receive a response, which further complicated the situation. As a responsible tour company, punctuality and adherence to schedules are paramount to ensure the smooth operation of our tours for all participants.
Despite this initial setback, I'm pleased to hear that you managed to find a capable and knowledgeable substitute guide who ensured you still had an enjoyable experience, even though the national park itself doesn't provide guides.
We at Travel Costa Rica Tours, give our best everyday to create lifetime experiences. Should you have any further concerns or require assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Warm regards,
