A great solid tour around Manuel Antonio national Park. I would not recommend going to the park without a guide as they are looking for a wildlife for you the entire time. We also had a slight break to go swimming at the beach so I would recommend bringing a swimsuit as I did not.

Fantastic time walking through this beautiful park with our guide Edgar. He was knowledgeable about everything related to the park and animals. He could spot even the smallest insect from a distance that amazed us. Highly recommend!

The guide was wonderful. We saw sloths,tarantulas,and birds. I was amazed how big the trees were. We were a party of 5 and everyone enjoyed the hike. I highly recommended this adventure.

Wonderful experience! Our guide Juan, was so knowledgeable and really cares about the environment and the animals. We saw heaps during the walk and were so glad we did it!

The other group in our party canceled, so we got a private tour with Jorge. He was amazing!
