Itinerary

  • Manuel Antonio National Park

    Our activity consist on an easy, slow, nice 2,2 kilometers walk on a gravel trail and sandy trail near the beach, spotting as much wildlife as possible. We focus and wildlife spotting, nature photography, share nature updated information and some stories accumulated in the field. Nearly 2 hours after we started the walk we arrive to a coffee shop, here we can make a short break, so, you can buy something to eat or to drink. Just 100 meters ahead Manuel Antonio National Park safest and mean swimming beach invites you to swim, this a white and fine sandy beautiful beach. Just another 100 meters ahead a second nice swimming beach, here we usually finish our activity, so you can stay in the park, but if planning to leave the park we make 25 minutes brake for you to take some pics or quickly jump in the water. Walking back to the park entrance is faster due that, by this time it's already hot and most animals already had their breakfast, but landscape is still wonderful.

Manuel Antonio Short Tour

Published on Feb, 2025

We were able to see sloths, birds, crabs, monkeys, and lots of lizards and wildlife that we would have missed without the help of our guide, Andrea. She was great about pointing things out, as well as sharing interesting info-plus-she had a great sense of humor which made the tour fun! FYI-some of the trails leading to the beach are mobbed! If you’re looking for a quieter trail with lots of wildlife try the Punta Cathedral Trail-great views and lots of wildlife there.

Great tour!

Andrea was an amazing guide, we saw 4 sloths counting a baby! She pointed out numerous plants and animals we would have NEVER seen on our own, was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, funny, and a wonderful guide! We highly recommend!

Manuel Antonio National Park guided tour with Aldin Gutierrez

Published on Feb, 2025

Alden Gutierrez was our guide on a tour of Manuel Antonio National Park. He went out of his way to ensure that each of us saw and were able to have pictures of many of the animals who can be found at this beautiful national park. He was friendly, thoughtful and knowledgeable about the flora and fauna here. We would not hesitate to highly recommend him and this tour to others.

Excellent guided tour

Bruce Torres our guide was fabulous, really interesting and knowledgeable. He ensured we didn’t miss anything and sent us photos and information about what we had seen. You definitely need a guide otherwise you walk right past things. Highly recommend the Tour.
