    I visited during peak season and since tickets to the park are limited, I definitely would not have been about to enter without the tour guide. I had such a great time walking through the park taking photos with my Nikon and zoom lens. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife - most of which I wouldn't not have spotted on my own. I was traveling solo but made easy conversation with other people in my group as well as the tour guide. I recommend going in the morning before it gets too hot and then spending the rest of the afternoon on the beach or exploring the park further on your own. Note- no plastic bottles or aerosol cans, allowed in the park so be sure to bring an aluminum water bottle and spray-pump insect repellent. No food allowed in the park either so eat before entering and/or be prepared to buy snacks at the concessions while inside the park (the smoothies are expensive, but delicious).

    Okay tour with too many people

    Pod, Jun 2023
    Tour guide was okay but there were too many people on the tour and in the park. Also, lots of confusion about whether the tour included park entry.

    Amazing experience.

    Our guide William was GREAT!!! It was very impressive how he was able to point out the animals - sloths, iguanas, jesus lizard, sleeping frogs, dragonflies, and more. We wouldn't have been able to see many of them without his expert eyes.

    With the best guide of Manuel Antonio

    Javi_O, Oct 2025
    If you go to Manuel Antonio National Park I recommend you go with a guide. Without guidance you won't see any animals. We got the tour guide Jean Paul, an expert. Very attentive and friendly. Lynx eye to see the animals with your telescope. Recommended 100%

    Arnaque de Viator pour visiter un park. Viator stoled us 250 us dollars

    Claude_P, Mar 2024
    Le vendeur nous a arnaqué. Il ne nous a pas fait visiter le park. Il a indiqué qu'il n'y avait aucune place disponible dans le park, Cela était faux, On a visiter le park en achetant la passe dans le park et on a payer pour un autre guide. Donc veuillez nous remboursé. On s'est rendu sur place, Ce dernier ne s'est pas présenté en tant que représentant de notre tour, Il savait tres bien que l'on avait les billets. Il a pas tenter de trouver de place, Par la suite on est aller voir le quiosque de de ce guide et il était sur place, On lui a indiquer de tout annuler.

    Tour cancellato e rimborso inesistente. Perso i soldi di 5 persone

    Claudia_M, Feb 2023
    Non Ho fatto il tour perché non c’erano biglietti disponibili. Ho chiesto la cancellazione e Viator non mi ha permesso avere il rimborso. L’agenzia ha promesso di aiutare con il rimborso per 5 persone e non hanno fatto niente. Ho perso i soldi
