My husband and I ended our honeymoon in Manuel Antonio. We were there during the rainy season (September) so definitely needed to take advantage of the beautiful weather during the day. We were fortunate enough to have Juan as our tour guide who was extremely knowledgeable and had an amazing eagle eye. We couldn't believe all the wildlife that he was spotting. We got amazing pictures and had he not been our guide we would have missed so much. In addition, one of my favorite parts was the venture to the beach where there were seldom around, there were drank juice and munched on fresh pineapple. Long story short, you will not be disappointed with the tour!

Did this tour after two others further north in Costa Rica; this was by far the best. Our guide was Juan Brenes and he was very experienced and helpful. We saw many of the animals that we'd been waiting to see, and the spotting scopes really made the difference in seeing a lot of the much smaller species that we hadn't anticipated. Definitely worth the time and money.

My wife and I just got back from celebrating our honeymoon in Costa Rica lastnight. We did a variety of adventures while we soaked up the atmosphere in CR. One of them was visiting the National Park in Manuel Antonio. It was such a fantastic experience!! It was so much fun learning about everything there is to know about the rainforest and the animals and plants inside of it!! My newly wife and I were thinking about just going to the park ourselves, without a guide because it was a few bucks cheaper but thank goodness we did not! Edgar was our tour guide and besides having a great sense of humor,he had so much info on the park. This guys eyes were unbelievable!!! He can spot a grasshopper from 200 yards away, set up his telescope and have you viewing it in less than 15secs. It was a sixth sense that he had when It came to spotting wildlife. Unreal. My wife and I would've walked right by pretty much everything cool that we seen. The animals blend into the forest so well that without a excellent eye, you're never going to see them on your own. Manuel Antonio Expeditions picked us up from our hotel in a brand new passenger van and dropped us off as well. Paul was another guide that picked us up from our hotel and was such a clean cut, nice guy. My wife informed him that she hadn't gotten a chance to see a sloth while we were in the park and she really wanted to. So on the way home,(no longer in the park) Paul spotted one in a tree along side the road so he pulled over, set up his tri-pod binocs and we stood on the side of the road staring @ these gentle animals. Paul and Edgar both went out of their way to show us a good time and we can't thank them enough. For a few extra bucks its a no brainer. Loved this country btw

We highly recommend MA Expeditions and specifically tour guide Edgar. I would ask for him by name. Edgar got dropped off near the house we were renting, Casa Carolina. He hopped in our car and as we drove toward the park he told us about himself and what to expect on the tour. He showed us where to park right near the park entrance. Edgar speaks fluent English with extensive knowledge of Costa Rica biology, habitat, and history. As Americans that speak and understand little espanol this was super helpful. During the hike we saw three types of monkeys, several sloths, a yellow eyelash vipor, and insects that we would have walked right by if Edgar wasnt there to point them out. Edgar pointed out wildlife that the non-professional tour guides missed. Edgar also spotted a very rare and tiny grasshopper hiding in trees as well as a hiding iguana that was also tiny and extremely camoflouged in the surrounding bark. Edgar was an excellent tour guide, very friendly, knowledgable, down to earth and funny. We would highly recommend using Manuel Antonio Expeditions and requesting Edgar. We were so glad that we did, definitely one of the highlights of our trip to this beautiful country.
