Manuel Antonio National Park Guided Tour

About the Manuel Antonio National Park Guided Tour

Our signature Manuel Antonio National Park guided tour is the definitive way to experience one of Costa Rica's most spectacular ecosystems. Led by an ICT-certified naturalist guide with over 7 years of expertise in this very park, this 3–4 hour tour takes you deep into the primary rainforest along Manuel Antonio's best wildlife-rich trails.

From the moment you enter the park, your guide begins scanning the canopy, listening for the rustle of howler monkeys, tracking the slow movements of three-toed sloths, and spotting the barely-visible outline of a sleeping boa constrictor coiled on a branch overhead. This is what separates a guided tour from a self-guided walk — the ability to see what others walk right past.

Manuel Antonio National Park is home to an astonishing 109 mammal species, 184 bird species, and countless reptiles, amphibians, and insects. In just 3–4 hours with your expert guide, you'll encounter a curated selection of the park's most remarkable residents. Our 80–90% wildlife sighting rate consistently delivers sloths, monkeys, iguanas, and much more.

Groups are kept to a strict maximum of 10 people — small enough to move quietly through the forest, get close to wildlife without disturbance, and ensure every guest gets the personal attention of their guide. Tours are conducted in English, German, French, and Spanish.

After the trail portion, you'll have the option to relax on the famous Manuel Antonio beach — one of the most beautiful beaches in all of Costa Rica, right inside the national park.
