Overview

Join us to explore Manuel Antonio National Park, considered by thousands of travelers the right place to easily observe wild monkeys, sloths, blue butterflies, toucans, and much more in Costa Rica. Our company philosophy it's to professionally develop informative, fun, and educational experiences for all visitors despite your age, physical mobility, academic position, and nationality.

We guaranteed that by reducing our tour groups size to 8-10 people max (group tour), 4-6 people max (semi-private tour), or just your own party (Fully Private tour)

As you make your way through a well-preserved park, you will find yourself next to all different species of mammals, tropical birds, and a large variety of exuberant tropical flora. We invite you to ask any questions you may have throughout the activity to enrich and better educate your experience.

What to expect

We begin by briefly describing the facilities, trails, and beach areas we will walk and visit on our 3-hour guided tour. We will make recommendations depending on the season and type of group that will be attending the tour.
As mentioned above, we will do the tour in the opposite direction (anti-clockwise) of the standard operators and guides, the idea is to walk with less people and noise, focus on what the tour is about, observe the local wildlife, learn about iconic tropical species and, if possible, take a great photo or video.

The most common species are sloths (both species), monkeys, bats, agoutis, tree frogs, toucans, and even snakes.
