Great National Park - Manuel Antonio National Park is a wonderful place to visit. The wildlife is all around you and our guide Ricardo was outstanding and very knowledgeable. We had more than enough time to see as much as we wanted and the restaurant just outside of the park offered us an extremely tasty lunch with more than enough to eat. This is a must do for Costa Rica!

A great trip - This is a great tour. The drive to the beach from San jose is also very nice. If you really want to see the cappuchin monkeys, yiu havevto take the trail from the beach
It is a slight hike in the first half of the climb, but it is worth it. The views are beautiful. If you are lucky, you will these small monkeys playing around.
Our guide cum driver was jose dias. He was extremely nice and polite and patiently answered all our questions. The tour was locally organized by Destiny tours. Very professional and on time

Great tour! - We had a wonderful day at Manuel Antonio National Park. Jerry was an interesting and efficient guide who made our day perfect. We had a stress free drive, wonderful food and best of all, Jerry helped us find sloths, monkeys, crabs, lizards and birds. We sat on a beautiful beach for two hours.

Will be talking about this for a long time - Amazing! Carlos(driver) and Ricardo( tour guide) were both great. Very informative. Learned the history of the areas we went through saw wonderful wildlife and spent some time at the beach. And we made it there and back safely.

The activity was good... - The activity was good HOWEVER, I can not tell you how frightening it is to be told after you’ve already paid then to be told 12 hours before the event they need a passport or ID right then or event will be cancelled. I was not near my phone at the time of the threat but this should have been requested at the booking. It would’ve been devastating to miss the event & not have enough time to plan another one, especially as a solo traveler. People travel thousands of miles & pay thousands of dollars. I was literally in line at customs when I was told another event was cancelled. Also, solo travelers shouldn’t be punished for being alone having to pay for two tickets. There’s got to be a better way.

Awesome day trip! - Amazing trip. Ricardo, the guide, was excellent and spoke English well, knowing many specific words relating to the flora and fauna. Only drawback is the time going back and forth. As long as you're aware going in, it's worth it.

Disappointing tour guide - The tour in the national park was good but a little disappointing because the sloths were hard to see (high up in trees). Saw lots of monkeys and iguanas as well as red crab and 1 macaw. The big dis’s appointment was our tour guide. We booked a English tour but our tour guide (Roy) spoke Spanish 90 percent of the time and only translated to English the bare minimum (even after I asked/reminded him early on the trip to speak in English as well). I felt like he catered to the family from Mexico in our group and carried on a personal conversation during our drive for over 1 hour on the way to the park as well as on the way back to San Jose. Very frustrating for our family because we know very little Spanish and we felt alienated, considering we were in the van for 6 hours in the morning and 4 hours on the return.

We had a great time at... - We had a great time at Manuel Antonio National Park! The tour started off with good vibes thanks to our friendly guide, Eric. He did his best to explain everything and kept the group engaged. One suggestion for improvement would be to provide a couple of binoculars for the group—it would help us appreciate the park even more. The tour also went longer than anticipated (we arrived back to San Jose past 10pm) so a more transparent timeline would be appreciated. Overall, a wonderful experience!
