    Two-hour guided tour through Manuel Antonio National Park including wildlife spotting, followed by time at the beach.

    Diego provided excellent care for our group, which included myself, my adult daughter, and two teenagers, along with three others. A guided tour is essential; we would have missed many creatures without Diego’s keen eye. We had the benefit of observing through his telescope and received a photo album afterward. Overall, it was well worth the expense. Additionally, Diego was very helpful in explaining to park staff why we needed to bring a small snack for one of my teens who has T1D. Thank you for everything, Diego!Jessica_C

    My boyfriend initially wanted me to skip this tour since we had just done a waterfall excursion two days earlier, thinking it would be unexciting. He was pleasantly surprised and grateful I continued with it. Our guide, Jimmy, was incredibly knowledgeable, showcasing his passion for nature and animals. We spotted various wildlife, including anoles, birds, and iguanas, and he shared a wealth of information about them. I always felt secure during the rough drive. We crossed stunning bridges and enjoyed a swim in a waterfall. To cap off the day, we had a fantastic meal at a local's home, one of the best we experienced during our trip. Jimmy also took wonderful photos for us. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour and Jimmy.dmuralles
