    SCAM - READ MY REVIEW

    Absolutely, DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BOOK THIS TRIP. The price range for the Manuel Antonio tours on this app and this listing are actually 4X the actual price. And also - THE ENTRY FEE ISNT INCLUDED. My girlfriend and I scheduled a tour at 7am, NO ONE SHOWED UP. We couldn’t contact anyone, the phone number didn’t exist, and Trip Advisor was absolutely NO HELP. This is a SCAM from the very top and if I can help anyone by preventing them from booking this trip I would love to. Simply DONT BOOK. Here’s what we found after realizing we got absolutely scammed, not only by the tour (ECOTREK) but by trip advisor as well. And remember it’s not Trip advisor, it’s a trip advisor company What we found: Price to enter park: $18 per person Price to park: $10 total Group tour: $60 TOTAL, NOT PER PERSON. Private tour: $80 TOTAL, NOT PER PERSON. Do your self a favor and don’t book this trip. This whole operation should be shut down, they are ripping off hard working tourists that work hard for their money.

    Guided Visit to Manuel Antonio National Park: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Guided Visit to Manuel Antonio National Park cost?

    +

    Prices start at $179 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 Visit to 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 Visit to Manuel Antonio National Park worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 12 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 Visit to 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 Visit to 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 Visit to Manuel Antonio National Park?

    +

    Around 4 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 Visit to 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 Visit to Manuel Antonio National Park?

    +

    Included: Guided tour by a Naturalist Guide; Optical Gear; and Private tour guide. Not included: National Park entrance fee; and Transportations. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Guided Visit to Manuel Antonio National Park offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Guided Visit to Manuel Antonio National Park?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Guided Visit to Manuel Antonio National Park wheelchair or stroller accessible?
