An Excellent Tour
My wife, my 11 year old grandson and I really enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide was a wonderful young woman who seemed to really enjoy her work and sharing her wealth of knowledge of the rainforest and its inhabitants with us. The trail was easy to navigate and we were able to see a number of sloths including a mother and baby in their natural habitat. The guide brought a telescope on a tripod along to give us clear view of numerous sloths in the trees. A very enjoyable, well managed walking tour which I am pleased to recommend.

Must do
Great experience overall. Entire staff very friendly and made sure we all had fun. Great zip lines and adventurous bridges to move in between. Beautiful scenery to “fly” through Be sure to use bug spray and sunscreen. Would definitely recommend to others

Well worth the money
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.

Great Start to our Honeymoon
This was our first excursion of our honeymoon and it really set the tone for a great time! Regardless of the rain, we had a fantastic time. The crew was fun, the food was amazing, and the excursion gave us everything we'd hoped for! We would definitely recommend booking during your stay!

This was a ton of fun!...
This was a ton of fun! Our guide was a great storyteller and we learned a lot from him. We got to sample a variety of fruits. My favorite was trying the fruit of a cocoa bean, it was really bizarre but deliciously sweet and refreshing. There was also a moment at the end where the whole group sat at tables and chatted over coffee and hot cocoa, which was lovely. The chocolate cubes were delicious and we bought a container of it from the gift shop.
It’s mostly shaded under the many fruit trees, but there are definitely stops where you’ll be in the sun. Wear sunscreen and expect bugs!

This white water rafting...
This white water rafting experience was one of the highlights from our time in La Fortuna. Joseph was an awesome guide and ensured we had a fun and safe day on the river. The lunch after the rafting trip was delicious. All in all it was a great day and we would definitely recommend!

Amazing!!!!!
What an amazing experience all the way around! Our tour guide was Ronald and he was spectacular! You do the white water rafting, eat a home cooked meal, enjoy a cup of delicious coffee (brewed the old fashion way) and get to tour the family owned farm. Everyone was so incredibly nice and educational. 5 stars all the way around! Pro tip: they let you split the photo package with others in your raft! Only $14 instead of $40!

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!)

Oscar and his team were the best!
Oscar and his team were great. We arrived late and had to reschedule 2 hours ahead, but to make it up for OUR inconvenience we were given a pass so we can enjoy the pool and hot springs across the street while waiting for the next tour to begin.
After ATVing/hiking up to the closest point to the view of the arenal volcano and getting to learn more about the Native Costa Rican culture through the talk session. Oscar pulled my partner and I aside for a “private” route where we were the only ones swimming in the river. Also took his time to get off his ATV and take pics of us in front of the view of the Arenal Volcano; and took a video of us ATVing through the water.
For our first day in La Fortuna, 10/10 experience for sure! Oscar, you are my guy!
Note: Do NOT use Waze to get here, use Google Maps or it will take you to a different spot (which they let you know ahead of time)

If I had to do again I would have done the private tour. Our guide Johnny was so knowledgeable and interactive. I really appreciated all his education. Going on a group delays and slows things down so toward the end i got to the point where u wanted to just go off on my own. Johnny was the highlight of our experience.

Great trip with friends!
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.

The Side by Side (Dune Buggy) is Amazing Fun!
One of the best experiences to do in Manuel Antonio. We got the "side by side" which is an ATV buggy (dune buggy). The tour was amazing and we went through many different terrains including down a river and through the palm trees. The tour finishes with a nice lunch at the local restaurant. Would recommend this tour to anyone.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
If one country is known for its nature, it’s Costa Rica. With cloud forests, active volcanoes, sparkling beaches, sloth sanctuaries, national parks, and more, outdoor activities in Costa Rica know no bounds. Luckily, it's just 10 hours coast to coast, so you can hike mountain summits, soar down raging rivers, and soak in Costa Rica's famous hot springs in just a few days. These excursions make it easier to hit the highlights, often providing round-trip transportation and sometimes taking you to multiple attractions in a single day.
