    🇨🇷 Alonso Made Our Manuel Antonio Experience Unforgettable!

    🌿🇨🇷 If you’re visiting Manuel Antonio, BOOK ALONSO! 🦥🐒❤️ We had the most amazing private guided tour of Manuel Antonio National Park with Alonso Hernández, and honestly, he made the experience unforgettable! Alonso is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging. His love for Costa Rica, its wildlife, and what he does is obvious from the moment you meet him. His English is excellent, and he shared so much fascinating information about the flora and fauna we encountered. But what really made him special was his ability to spot wildlife we never would have seen on our own! 🐒🦥🦎🦋 He knew exactly where to look and helped us truly appreciate what we were seeing. He also made the tour fun, exciting, relaxed, and comfortable for everyone in our group. By the end of the day, Alonso felt like family! ❤️ If you’re planning a trip to Costa Rica, I cannot recommend him enough. Don’t just visit Manuel Antonio — experience it with Alonso! You’ll see more, learn more, laugh more, and leave with memories you’ll treasure. 📲 Alonso Hernández — Interpreters of Nature / Costa Rica Tours & Transfers WhatsApp: +506 8363-8943 Thank you, Alonso, for an incredible day! 🇨🇷❤️ - Samantha and Dean Pura vida!

    Amazing private tour with Alonso!

    We had an amazing experience with Alonso! He was very enthusiastic, knew so much about the animals and the nature and he was very funny and sociable. It was easy to communicate with him and we loved that we did the private tour, so we could see as much as we could and we didn’t have to wait for a group.

    Great

    It was great. We wouldn’t have seen much at all without a guide and Antonio was knowledgeable and good with kids.

    The best guide ever!

    If you are going to Manuel National Park you NEED to book with Alonso Hernandez. He is engaging, passionate, and funny! We saw SO many animals on our tour including sloths, monkeys, crabs, toucans, lizards, and so much more. He took over 80 pictures for me with his scope so I could just sit back and enjoy the incredible nature. Alonso was truly the highlight of our trip! You can also find him on What's App 506-8363-8943

    Guided Tour in Manuel Antonio National Park!: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quepos.

    How much does Guided Tour in Manuel Antonio National Park! cost?

    +

    Prices start at $28 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 Guided Tour in Manuel Antonio National Park! take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Guided Tour in Manuel Antonio National Park! worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 202 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Quepos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Guided Tour in Manuel Antonio National Park!?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Guided Tour in Manuel Antonio National Park! suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Guided Tour in Manuel Antonio National Park!?

    +

    Around 71 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Guided Tour in Manuel Antonio National Park! 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 Full Day Waterfall Adventure, Manuel Antonio Canopy Tour - Longest Twin Zip Line in Central America, Manuel Antonio Park Tour and its Amazing Wildlife and Beaches. 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.

    What is included in Guided Tour in Manuel Antonio National Park!?
