What to expect

Manuel Antonio National Park

This guided experience focuses on the rainforest ecosystem and coastal scenery inside Manuel Antonio National Park, finishing at Manuel Antonio Beach. You move through the forest with your guide, pausing whenever wildlife is spotted, before reaching the tropical shoreline.

Features

Wildlife spotting and interpretation is a central part of the walk, with chances to look for Costa Rica’s iconic wildlife such as sloths, monkeys, colorful birds, reptiles, butterflies, and other hidden creatures along the rainforest trails.

A guided walk through the rainforest trails is included, so your experienced bilingual naturalist guide can help you discover animals, plants, tracks, sounds, and behaviors that are easy to miss on your own while sharing insights about the park’s wildlife, ecosystems, history, and Costa Rican culture.

A high-definition spotting scope for wildlife viewing is provided, and your guide assists you in capturing close-up wildlife photos through the spotting scope using your smartphone for detailed views of animals resting high in the canopy or camouflaged in the foliage.
