We enjoyed our time at...
We enjoyed our time at Manuel Antonio with Mile as our guide. She was so knowledgeable about the wildlife, what they were and where to find them, and what significance they brought to the area. The park itself is beautiful; it was a great day topped off by a wonderful beach stop for what may be the best beach in CR. I definitely recommend using a guide as we wouldn’t have come close to seeing all the things we did without her.

Incredible time for the whole family!
This was amazing! All three of our children (ages 6,9,12) said this was their favorite thing we did! The boat ride was amazing, we saw dolphins, enjoyed snorkeling, and the slides and places to jump were so much fun! The food was also incredible. If you are in the area, do not skip this tour!

Cute monkeys and a great tour guide
This was an amazing boat ride through the mangroves. Javier, our guide, was absolutely the best, very knowledgeable and excellent at explaining everything. We had the opportunity to be with the white face monkeys in our boat. They just hopped on the boat and were very sweet and friendly. Javier explained that those were juveniles so it was safe and it was okay. He also pointed out that we should watch for the older ones. The entire experience was just amazing. Lunch was really good and the hotel pick up was right on time. Excellent service.

A can’t miss experience
This trip was absolutely incredible! We had perfect weather and enjoyed every activity they included - snorkeling, banana boat ride, hiking, and the lunch was outstanding!! So much food all super tasty and satisfying. Drinks were also plentiful and the Costa Cat staff were 10/10 especially Wilbur. Definitely bring sunscreen and towels but so much is provided otherwise. It might seem pricey but it’s 100% worth it and this cannot be missed! One recommendation is motion sickness meds for the boat ride as it get choppy and is 1 hr long. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The whole family enjoyed...
The whole family enjoyed the experience. Our guide Eric pointed out multiple insects and reptiles we found along the way. The transportation drove us to the top and walked our way down into the night. All of the staff members were friendly and did a great job.

Great your and guide!
Fantastic tour with Kenneth. He knew a lot about the animals and the park. We saw 2 kinds of sloths, 2 kinds of monkeys - including being the first to spot some so we were alone with them which was special because this park is very crowded with people. A few frogs, iguanas, agoutis, bats, crickets, and more. We went early and it was worth it.

Incredible day
Amazing and must-do in La Fortuna. Was worried it would be touristy, but it is for a reason! We took our time down and made it to the waterfall in around 12 mins. We swam in the river and enjoyed the views for 40 mins or so, and then walked back up in 18 mins (with many stops on the stairs!)

Great Tour! Definitely Recommend!
This was an awesome tour. I've been to a couple different other tours in La Fortuna over the years and this was my favorite. The staff is exceptional from start to finish. Augustin was an amazing tour guide, very knowledgeable and funny! Will definitely be booking here again when I am back in La Fortuna!

Great for families, groups, couples, and solo!
Definitely worth the price. I booked this for two, then found out an hour before the departure time that my boyfriend cheated on me. I broke up with him and went on the boat tour as planned-- it was awesome all by myself! There were probably about 50 people on board, but it felt decently spacious. There are seating options on deck, but also inside if you want to stay out of the sun. We sailed pretty far out from Coco Beach to a smaller beach on a little island. This took about an hour and a half. Then we had the option of taking the dingy to shore or snorkeling. I snorkeled for a bit, but then hung out on the shore for the rest of the time. The open bar is fantastic, the staff were super personable and attentive always asking if they could get you a new beverage. We had a great meal as well!! I would definitely do this experience again as it was beautiful, relaxing, and stress-free; just what I needed.

A fine evening on the water
Our guide Javier is a wildlife whisperer. We saw birds (potoo, pauraque, wood-rail, tiger heron, green heron, pygmy kingfisher, green kingfisher), basilisk, bats, cayman and crocodile, iguanas. Although it rained, we remained dry within the boat. We skipped the dinner (and notified them beforehand) because it is served too late for both us and our grandchildren. The tour kindly provided free transportation back to our hotel right after the cruise!

Stephen was...
Stephen was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the tour feel fun and interactive. He shared so many interesting facts about the crocodiles and the surrounding wildlife while keeping everything safe and professional. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does.
Seeing the crocodiles up close in their natural habitat was unforgettable. The scenery was beautiful, and the entire experience felt authentic and worth every minute.

ATV/Zip experience
The atv portion was great. I think I was fortunate in only having 4 people in the group. I saw a group of over 10 and it looked like a miserable conga line. The halfway point being a waterfall was a nice surprise.
The zip lining experience was also amazing. Even with it being my first time, the safety instructors gave me the confidence as if it was my hundredth time. 10/10 bonus points for it being a rainstorm prior to speed the wires up!
