My 17 yo daughter and I... - My 17 yo daughter and I loved this tour! Mop was our tour guide, and he was awesome! He had us laughing and was very knowledgeable about Manuel Antonio National Park, as he has been a tour guide there for over 20 years. It was amazing how quickly and easily he was able to spot even the tiniest creatures for us to view through his incredible lens. He took great pictures for us, which he provided at the end of the tour. We saw a couple of sloths, a howler monkey and her baby, a crab, a snake, a spider, bugs, a bird, and a frog. There's no way we would have seen any of it without Mop.

Phenomenal Tour! - HIGHLY Recommend. We booked the private tour with Mauro and it was truly everything I imagined it to be and more! Mauro was extremely knowledgeable “in his office” as he calls Manuel Antonio Park 😄. We were truly amazed at how he was able to spot the animals and show us. I told him which animals I was really excited to see and we saw all but a toucan but he offered tips so I can be on the lookout throughout the rest of my trip. The next morning he sent me a video of a toucan he spotted at the beginning of the other tour! I was so happy. Thank you again, Mauro!

Best tour guide and experience !! - Mauro is a must book! He made this a very memorable experience for my boyfriend and I. Extremely friendly, responsive, and so knowledgeable. Without him, we would have not seen any animals! He also made sure we were able to capture the best photos. Do not hesitate — book Mauro for your tour guide !

Incredibly Talented Guide! - Mauro was brilliant - one of the best at spotting hard to see wildlife. He was very knowledgeable about the floral and fauna of the park. Wildlife is always unpredictable but we saw 3 types of monkey, 2 types of sloth, and many bats, birds, bugs, and lizards. Mauro was also very understanding about changing plans.

Marvellous hikes! - We booked Mauro through our AirBnB and did a daytime Manuel Antonio Park tour and then a few days later a night hike. The day hike was crowded due to the holidays but Mauro maneuvered our group through the throngs to some amazing animals, birds, and insects. He is really skilled with his scope plus iPhone. Our pictures are clear and certainly brag worthy. With the night hike we have been on several night hikes but this one was excellent due to Mauro’s sharp eyes and explanations. We spent two hours wandering the trails in the dark and felt very safe with Mauro.

Worth it! - Amazing experience with Mauro in Manuel Antonio Park. Saw so many animals we never would have seen. We went with the private tour to maximize our time and didn’t regret it. Saw sloths, monkeys, crabs, birds none of which we would have seen without Mauro’s guidance and spotting scope. Totally worth it!
