Incredible visit to Manuel Antonio National Park
Corry picked us up at our hotel at the scheduled time. After a quick ride to the park, we were given binoculars and began our hike. Very easy going through the park at a leisurely pace. We saw multiple sloths, squirrel and howler monkeys, a viper, crabs, lizards, and much more. All along the way, Corry set up the telescope to give us an up close view of the animals. He also took high quality photos through the telescope which he shared with us afterwards at no additional cost. Two guides in training were also with us and we're equally knowledgeable. All costs were included, finishing with a bowl of fruit and thirty minutes swimming on the beautiful beach. Highly recommend this group. So much fun.

Highly recommend this guided tour
To have the best experience at Manuel Antonio National Park, Paddle 9 is a wonderful option for a guided tour. Our guide Roberto was so pleasant, engaging, and amazing at locating wildlife. We never would have found all the animals he was able to spot on our own. He provided a lot of interesting information and using a spotting scope, allowed us to see and photograph many different animals.

Amazing experience - Great tour guide and got photos of incredible animals through telescope.
Our tour guide Corry was amazing. He stopped for all interesting animals and used a telescope to show them up close. To pair with the telescope, he was the only tour guide i saw to have a mount for his phone to take great photos through it as i attached below. We were picked up at 12 and were dropped off at our local supermarket at 4. It was our family of 8 and 2 others which made the tour feel very personal. We walked up the main trail seeing lots of animals for about an hour, then had a break at the coffee shop for included fruit and water, then headed down to the beach until the beach closed. On the way back we took a faster route and didn’t stop, allowing us to fully get to know Corry and ask questions about the wildlife. At the end of the tour, he airdropped us the photos he took through the telescope.

Fun tour with Corry
Corry was our tour guide and did a great job of spotting animals! He was enthusiastic, kind and funny! He spoke great English and was easy to understand! It was so nice that he put his phone to the telescope and took pictures of the animals with his cell phone. He air dropped 82 photos and 5 videos to each of us at the end of the tour. It was great to have so many high quality photos. I highly recommend Paddle 9 and Corry.

Absolutely amazing experience!
This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica! Our guide, Roberto, was absolutely incredible!! So kind, patient, and unbelievably knowledgeable. You could tell how passionate he is about the wildlife and the park, and he made every stop interesting by sharing so many fascinating facts. We saw animals that we never would have spotted on our own, and having the binoculars and spotting scope made the experience even more amazing. I left feeling like I had learned so much about the rainforest and its incredible ecosystem, not just seen it. If you’re visiting Manuel Antonio, I can’t recommend this tour enough. Our guide truly made the experience unforgettable, and I’d book it again in a heartbeat!

All Inclusive National Park Manuel Antonio with Binoculars: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quepos.
How much does All Inclusive National Park Manuel Antonio with Binoculars cost?
+
Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quepos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does All Inclusive National Park Manuel Antonio with Binoculars take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quepos is not rushed.
Is All Inclusive National Park Manuel Antonio with Binoculars worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 162 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Quepos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule All Inclusive National Park Manuel Antonio with Binoculars?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is All Inclusive National Park Manuel Antonio with Binoculars suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book All Inclusive National Park Manuel Antonio with Binoculars?
+
Around 57 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quepos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quepos and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does All Inclusive National Park Manuel Antonio with Binoculars start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quepos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Quepos?
+
On Outty we rank every Quepos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whitewater Rafting Savegre Class II-III plus Waterfall Manuel Antonio, Manuel Antonio Canopy Tour - Longest Twin Zip Line in Central America, Waterfall Ziplining & Canyoning. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Quepos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Quepos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
