Yes, a cafeteria in Manuel National Park sells a range of food and non-alcoholic drinks and drinking water is available. You’re not allowed to bring in your own food or alcoholic drinks because the park attempts to minimize trash in this beautiful natural environment. The cafeteria also sells some souvenirs.

Q: Can I visit Manuel Antonio National Park with a stroller or wheelchair?

Manuel Antonio Canopy Tour - Longest Twin Zip Line in Central America

Vanessa_D, Jul 2026

Unforgettable experience!

This was one of our favorite excursions we did in Costa Rica. We have three kids, 14-17-18 and they all loved it. Great time for everyone! I would definitely recommend this for families with all age group of kids. The staff were super friendly and made you feel very comfortable. They took your safety very seriously but made it very fun at the same time. The views were incredible. We saw Toucans and a family of spider monkeys. Something we will never forget! 100% recommend doing this.

Nothing beats a guided tour with Ivan😊

Amazing and funny guide. Very knowledgeable, concerned with safety and will go out of his way to show you interesting flora and fauna. This tour is worth every penny specially when you are in a small group and nice guide. His equipment was top notch and he even made sure we had photos and videos of everything that we saw through the lenses. Muchos gracias Ivan! Highly recommended!

Thank you Mop for the wonderful tour! The way to the tour is very overwhelming due to the amount of people trying to get your business outside of the park. Once we were in the park it was a great time seeing animals, reptiles and insects. Mop has a highly trained eye and could spot the most interesting species big and small. And we got to see his favorite animal - the anteater!

Best experience!

This was INCREDIBLE! Saul did an excellent job. I am so thankful we booked this tour. We would not have seen nearly as many animals. I was able to see every single animal I was hoping to see! He was super kind and engaging with our children, also! Wonderful experience and highly recommend! You do not want to go into the park without a guide like Saul!

Manuel Antonio was beautiful and our guide, Steve Vargas was fantastic. He was really knowledgeable and able to spot so many different animals. He was so personable and patient and answered all of our questions. We got to see all the monkeys: white faced, squirrel, and howler, sloth, raccoon, crocodile, iguana, cool grasshoppers, crabs, lots of insects. Highly recommend!

I would highly recommend El Santuario Canopy tours! My family and I (kids 11 and 15) had an amazing time! The guides were amazing, fun and nice, and safety was clearly a priority! Added bonus was the delicious meal at the end! It was an amazing experience we would recommend to anyone looking to zip line in Manuel Antonio!

Fantastic tour

Excellent tour. Our guide met us just outside the park and walked us through the entrance. The walk is an easy, mostly level path through the dense forest. On our own, we never would have noticed a thing but our guide spotted sloths, monkeys, lizards, hummingbirds, and snakes amongst the foliage. His scope and camera came in very handy and was happy to share photos. The tour ends at a beautiful beach perfect for a swimming.
