We were told by many that we needed a tour guide for Manuel Antonio park. I disagree.....if you have a set of binnoculers, you will do just fine on your own. The guides all see the same thing....one guide will spot a leaf frog and everyone follows. You can just follow the crowd and look with your own binnoculers and... More

My wife and I iwth our two teen girls toured Manual Antonio Park on March 29, 2012 with Edgar as our guide for Aguila Tours. The first thing I would say is don't even consider touring the park without a professional guide with a telescope - you will miss most of the wildlife and neat facts about the flora and... More

We enjoyed two tours with Juan and Paul (Pablo) at Aguila Tours. The first was a tour of Manuel Antonio park with Juan -- he was a fantastic guide, fluently bilingual and lots of fun. He did his best to make it an enjoyable experience for everyone, including smaller children and teenagers. He pointed out many sights and wildlife that... More

We contracted with Juan at Aguila tours for both our Manuel Antonio Nat’l Park tour and the Mangrove boat tour. Pablo was our guide and naturalist on both tours and he was absolutely great. His knowledge of the local flora and fauna is amazing and his english is perfect. Pickup from out villa was right on time each day. He... More

We travelled to Manuel Antonio in Jan. 2012 family with 3 kids: 14, 10 and 5 years. Had a wonderful tour with Pablo through the national park. Saw toucans, bats, monkeys, etc. You must get a guide when touring the park because without it we really would not have seen the incredible wildlife that is hidden amidst the foliage. More

Our three day stay near Manuel Antonio National Park was most memorable due to two outstanding guided tours by Paul and Juan of Aguila Tours. First, Paul took us on an exciting mangrove boat tour. His enthusiasm was contagious and we were thrilled to spot all the wildlife in that eco-system, including a crocodile, an ant eater, lizards and many... More

We had a break in the rain (that's what happens in Oct here) so we called up this company to see if we could get a guide to lead us through the Manuel Antonio National Park. They were incredibly accomodating, getting a guide to our front door within an hour to take advantage of the nice weather while it lasted.... More

I went on an afternoon tour with the guide Edgar. He was super friendly and knowledgable and the tour was just me and my boyfriend by ourselves. We saw all three types of monkey species and Edgar was great at pointing out many other animals we would have never seen such as colorful spiders and grasshoppers. He also went out... More

As we were planning our time in Manuel Antonio, our great trip planner Marina at travelexperta.com recommended that we use Juan Brenes and Aguila Tours. What great service from this company! First tour-kayaking thru the mangroves. We were picked up on time in a nice van, with introductions made and friendly conversation taking place the whole way to the start... More
