We had an excellent experience on this Manuel Antonio National Park tour. The organizers provided very clear instructions beforehand, including exactly where to park and where to meet the guide. Thanks to their directions, we parked right in front of the park entrance and avoided all the parking scams and confusion outside the park. They even sent us a photo of our guide, Saul, before the tour, which made it very easy to find him at the meeting point. Saul was outstanding. He helped us spot an incredible variety of wildlife that we never would have seen on our own. Using his telescope, we were able to get amazing views of sloths, monkeys, birds, and other animals hidden high in the trees. He also helped us take photos through the telescope, which resulted in some of the best wildlife pictures from our trip. Throughout the tour, Saul shared fascinating information about the animals, plants, and ecosystem of Manuel Antonio National Park. He was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and clearly passionate about his work. This tour greatly enhanced our visit to the park and was absolutely worth the money. We highly recommend it, especially for first-time visitors to Manuel Antonio.

Carlos Sanchez was great. He did everything! He explained how to be safe during our drive to the drop-in, he was our rafting captain, he made and servered delicious coffee, he taught us about their farm and even squeezed the sugarcane to give us a small cup of sugarcane juice. He is superman! And of course, the rafting was phenomenal for relative newbies, especially for the price.

Must do while in La Fortuna. Our guide Brian is knowledgeable and personable. He kept the group entertained and well fed with tasty local fruits throughout the tour. The pacing is good and keeps everyone involved. Duration is appropriate and great for when you don't want a 4 hour or longer activity. Brian also helped get me an Uber back to my hotel as I didn't have reception, even though it was his lunch time. He's good people. Would 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!

Trip was great but some things that would have been good to know is that this is A HIKE with some climbing and boulders. Closed toe shoes highly recommended. You will trek through a river and there is a short part where the water is deep enough that you will have to swim (they provide lifevests). Wear your swimsuit but be prepared to only be in the swimsuit of get your clothes wet! Not recommended if you have poor joints.

I highly recommend this tour. My son is 8 and I’m 42. We had an excellent experience and highly recommend it. I would absolutely do it again without question. It was such a vibe. The crew is so friendly and fun. They are so welcoming and accommodating. The food was outstanding, so much better than resort food. There were people of all ages. Even babies onboard. Come as you are, bring a towel if you wish. We went in April and it was warm and sunny. We only got to see fish. But it was still worth the boat ride.

Wild experience! I have never tried white water rafting before, but had a great time. Our boat flipped over a few times, which for sure is a part of the fun, but be prepared to get a few (mild) bruises. The guide on our boat, Jorge, was very professional and set a positive vibe. The whole organising with transport back and forth from La Fortuna went smoothly.

Our tour was delayed due to the breakdown of the first tour bus. But the company made up for it by adding a brief tour of Puntarenas itself followed by the regular tour once the new bus was available. The crocodiles and the butterflies were the highlights. Long tour but very good.
