Such an amazing day in Manual Antonio! Our guides Alan and Carla were awesome! Alan found a sloth even before we entered the park. It was... read more so nice how they took pictures on our phones through the scopes so that we could get some up close pictures of the animals. Breakfast and lunch were very tasty. Highly recommend this tour.

  Great experience! Our guide Warner was cheerful, knowledgeable, and fun. We saw capuchin, a baby croc, basilisk lizards, a mangrove snake, ibis, and tons of crabs. It was a beautiful,... read more relaxing, and active time.

  This is a great tour on the natural canals through the mangrove trees. Our guide Carla was fantastic, with great knowledge of the natural world, and super positive & helpful.... read more We saw incredible wildlife (snakes such as the mangrove boas, cappucine monkeys, various beautiful birds, iguanas etc. ) After the tour we had a lovely early dinner at a local restaurant.
We recommend this tour.

  An excellent guide made this excursion memorable. After nearly two weeks in Costa Rica we had still not seen a Sloth. - Our guide was Alberto and he was a credit to this tour company. He was professional, very skilled, and with a deep knowledge of a complex eco system. He genuinely... read more welcomed questions and was very helpful in terms of assisting with photographs of Sloth and other animals.

  Today was “sloth day”! What an unique opportunity to see them in their natural habitat. We loved how our guide Danny was able to point out the different animals... read more and insects, while providing additional information and context. Go in the morning and don’t forget your suit!

  Great experience of Costa Rica marine wildlife - The guide was very knowledgeable. We kayaked to the snorkeling spot. We found many fish and a large sea turtle that was close enough to touch. The guide provided fruit... read more before we kayaked back to go to their restaurant for lunch. He taught us a lot about Costa Rican wildlife. Highly recommend.

  Our transfer was smooth, easy and hassle free. Pedro was fabulous! Our bus was clean and comfortable. Air conditioning and free wifi were included. Highly recommend!!

  This was average for a kayaking tour. There were a couple of challenging "canals" - small areas that you had to negotiate your kayak through between the mangroves that was... read more fun. Also seeing the white faced monkeys that came down to the area where we were to eat "dinner". The guides were knowledgeable about the mangroves, the other trees, the birds, and other small creatures. It was very relaxing.

  We had THE BEST time on our whitewater trip. Nicolas was the best guide, genuinely in love with his job, meeting new people and his home, Costa Rica. We asked... read more for mas aqua and he did not disappoint. We haven’t even finished out time in Manuel Antonio and I already know this will be the highlight of our entire trip to Costa Rica.

  Just had the most wonderful tour of MA National Park. Our guide, Danny, was incredibly knowledgeable and his passion for the wildlife and flora he showed us made it so... read more fascinating to listen to him. He spoke excellent English and patiently answerered every question we threw at him! Highly recommend this company and specifically Danny!

  A pretty boring tour with a crap ton of tourists.
Our tour guide just kept pointing at animals hanging around trees which is nice to see but the same as... read more every other foundation guided tour in Costa Rica.

There's not much history, interesting facts or uniqueness. Just more of a point and walk tour. Definitely not a hike!

Our tour was supposed have lunch included, but it finished before lunch. The tour guide had a few funny jokes but not extremely ensightful.

What was described as a half day tour left us stranded outside the gates of the park 10 minute before our agreed 1130 cut of point.
We had to walk back to our hotel for an hour.
Which is OK, but we wasted about 40 minutes looking for our guide, ringing the office and another 15 mins to get an answer...

When someone says a half day tour, I'd expect the tour to last at least till lunch. This tour ended by 1030 at the beach. We didn't even cover the full park of Manuel Antonio. Tour guide didn't even come near the mangroves or explained anything about them.

Apaling experience.

  Our guide Warren was super helpful launching us from a rocky cove. That was the scariest part, but once at sea, the waves felt awesome and the water was... read more beautiful - an emerald green in some coves.

We tied up and snorkeled for 20-30
Minutes then stopped briefly on a small beach. He provided water and pineapple.

After Paddling back to starting point we were taken to a cafe for amazing local food.

The only drawback IMO is being wet,
Sweaty and sticky for so long. I suggest taking a full set of dry clothes to enjoy lunch and ride back to hotel. You can change at the restaurant. Start in swimwear as there is no changing room at launch point.

  Alan C. blew our expectations out of the water. From the moment he picked us up at our hotel, he treated us like familia. His knowledge on ecology gave us... read more a unique perspective. He was thorough, fun, and found as many animals as he possibly could for us. You could tell this is his passion. Not only was he knowledgeable, but he was also funny and friendly. The way that he led the tour made our whole group friends by the end of it. We can’t recommend him enough.

  Excellent company! We had a very good guide called Karla! Knowledgeable and humble! Outstanding walk in the park with the star of the show a 2toed sloth and baby!

  Nice ride even for experienced riders. Costa Rican horses are lovely. Easy gate In the trot. The scenery was amazing and the waterfall much appreciated at the end!

  I would like to recommend our guide Karla. She is very good at spotting the animals; fully fluent in English; very knowledgeable; and, generally, just a very pleasant person!

  Therapeutic, relaxing, breathtaking tour! Hugo was an AMAZING, friendly, fun and hard-working host that made sure everyone was enjoying their time and making the most of their experience. We learned... read more cool facts about wildlife, and even spotted an eel jumping over the water!
We kayaked with our small group through the water, and saw shimmering fish when we snorkeled.

The only criticism we had is that the tour was heavily understaffed. It was just one person making sure everyone was helped on/off the kayaks, keeping us safe the entire time, and moving up the heavy equipment, and that felt like a lot of work for just one worker to be doing.
Despite this, our guide Hugo was still incredibly friendly and happy to work with no complaints. He was one of our favorite tour guides this vacation!!

  Our animated and knowledgeable tour guide Alan picked us up at the Marriott Los Suenos around 6:45 for our one day driving/hiking tour to Manuel Antonio. This was a... read more nice Mercedes Sprinter van for our 7 person group. Why drive and fight to find a parking space when for $105 per person you get round trip (1 hr 15 minutes one way) personal transportation with highlights of the flora and fauna on the way plus breakfast and lunch the the company's new and very clean open air restaurant just 15 minutes from the Park. Our guide Alan knew every detail from spiders to colorful crabs to the more famous sloths, squirrel and white face monkeys etc. He kept us entertained the whole way. Our driver Pedro also had a "spotter's eye" for locating wildlife along the way - made half a dozen unplanned stops to see toucans, slots, monkeys and other things of interest. The Park tour is well done by foot and features boardwalks and white sand emerald green warm water beaches for a quick dip before the return home. Highly recommend this tour company for a full day of fun and wonder.

  Fantastic Experience! Enjoyed every minute! The food was delicious. Thank you Nicolas, Erick, Enrique, and Ma

  We went with Tucanes Tours. Maria was our contact and guide while Abie and another guy took us in the kayaks. They were terrific. Made it easy... read more for us to kayak on the waterways of the mangroves. Provided lots of commentary and pointed out animals for us to see and photograph. They took us to lunch at a CR restaurant for a prearranged lunch/dinner. The food was delicious! I highly recommend this tour company.

  I typically don't write reviews, but I felt compelled after taking this tour. Our driver, Geovanny, was the best we had throughout our tour of Costa Rica. He... read more was so thoughtful and kind, from helping us on and off the bus to stopping to take scenic pictures of the group. Danny, our tour guide, joined us at breakfast and provided an amazing tour, even before we entered the park. He was so knowledgeable, and you could tell he loved his work. Using his telescope, he made sure we saw all the park had to offer, and captured wonderful moments for all of us on our cell phones. It is a tour I will never forget!

  My husband and I had a blast doing this for the first time. It’s been days later and we are still talking about how awesome it was. We went down... read more so many rapids. Nic made it more of an experience and we enjoyed talking with him. The only downside is the thought that rafting trips anywhere else will not be as exciting.

  Horseback riding experience - Cesar was a great guide for the horseback riding excursion! He was very helpful and patient - all of us (4 people) were first time riders. I loved how you... read more could tell he appreciated every aspect of nature even though this is his home 24/7. We even got to stop on the roadside on our way to the horseback riding to see a pair of scarlet macaws! It was a nice experience.

Note: horseback riding is like cycling - you’ll be sore the next day. Also, I trust the horses are being cared for but I couldn’t help but feel bad for them as we hit rockier roads. I think they were thirsty during our trip. Regardless, their stable was clean and it was a unique experience! I wanted to ride horses at least once in my life and what better time to do it than in Costa Rica!?

  This was an awesome trip. Our guide Danny was so knowledgable and enthusiastic. We saw sloths, monkeys, snake, frog and bats and had a swim in the Pacific. We were... read more able to stay on the beach afterwards and make our own way back

  Allen was an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and interesting guide. Seamless transfer from the hotel. Provided refreshments afterwards. Well recommended.

  I learned a lot on our tour through Manuel Antonio National Park!
Alberto was our guide and he was full of information about the park, the history, the people, the... read more flora and the fauna!
We saw a plethora of creatures (agouti, basilisk lizards, iguanas, sloths, bats) and unique plants (trumpet trees, heliconias, spiny-trunked palms, ginger, mangroves)!
The humidity was rough for some people on our tour, but midway through, we got to relax at the national park’s secluded white sand beach! It looked like one of the beaches you see in a calendar photoshoot!
We concluded the tour with fresh pineapple and watermelon!

  The walk was not at all strenuous and we got to see so many animals! Alan was amazing at pointing out the animals and helping get pictures of them. He... read more had a scope with him that let us get amazing views of all the different creatures (two-toed and three-toed sloths, monkeys, and more!)
