Took this tour and would totally suggest it. Luis Roberto, our guide, really knew all about the different animals and could find them just by some sound in the bushes. His explanations were clear, too. Ticket for the park is included, and I thought the price was totally fair. Two hours for the guided walk felt just right, then you can explore solo if you want. Since it was the off season, barely anyone was around, which I loved—it wasn’t crowded at all. The beaches in the park are beautiful too!

I almost never write reviews, but the trip with Alexis totally blew me away! He really knows his stuff, is so enthusiastic, and acts really professional the whole way . He helped us spot all kinds of creatures I never would've noticed, honestly couldn't have asked for anyone better to show us around Manuel Antonio National Park. Big thanks!

Such a cool visit—even though it poured, we managed to spot all sorts of little creatures. Our guide Luis Gómez really knew his stuff and pointed out animals we never would have noticed by ourselves. Definitely worth doing, rain or shine.

Had a great time checking out wildlife even though it rained a lot. The guide knew a ton about the animals, and we still managed to spot plenty of small creatures everywhere.

Really awesome day—even with the rain we got to see a bunch of little animals all over. Our guide was super knowledgeable and helped us spot a lot we would’ve missed.

Getting started

Meet your bilingual naturalist guide before entering Manuel Antonio National Park with your included ticket. Begin your guided walk through the rainforest trails as your guide introduces you to the park’s wildlife and ecosystem.

What to expect

Rainforest trails

Walk along the park's rainforest paths as your bilingual naturalist guide helps you look for wildlife and understand the ecosystem around you. Moving slowly through the forest, you pause so the guide can point out animals, plants, and behaviors that are easy to miss on your own.

Features

Follow established rainforest trails to observe local flora and fauna in their natural habitat at a comfortable walking pace.

Use a high-definition spotting scope set up by your guide to get a closer look at wildlife perched high in the canopy or hidden in the foliage.

Benefit from wildlife spotting and interpretation as your bilingual naturalist guide explains what you are seeing and answers your questions along the way.

Receive assistance capturing close-up wildlife photos through the spotting scope, so you can take home clear images without needing professional gear.
