    Welcome To The Jungle Office

    My wife and I enjoyed our tour of Manuel Antonio National Park with our guide Jean Pierre (JP). He was very professional and courteous to everyone in the group. He had a good sense of humor too. He started the tour off by saying “Welcome to my office.”We thought that was funny. He gave us a lot of education information about the wildlife and overall environment of CR. We saw different types of birds, sloths , deer ( never knew CR had them) snake, iguanas and howler monkey among others. We also spent time on the beautiful beach and saw capuchin monkeys in the trees near the beach. Highly recommend!

    A good day at the park

    We saw howler monkeys, white face monkeys, sloths, iguanas, and so much more. Our guide, whose name I cannot remember (but he is also a history professor at the University of Costa Rica), was phenomenal and provided so much great information. The beach was beautiful. The ocean was very refreshing

    Response from the operator: Hello adamrE1047NP. Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed seeing the howler monkeys, white-faced monkeys, sloths, iguanas, and all the incredible wildlife. Your guide will be thrilled to hear your kind words—he is indeed passionate about sharing both his knowledge of nature and history! We’re delighted you also loved the beach and refreshing ocean. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

    Susie was the best! Tour is awesome

    Susie was our guide for this tour and she was amazing! We saw SO much wildlife and Susie has an amazing eye! She made sure everyone got to see every single thing, and even took pictures/videos for us through her telescope! We had a stop for some fruit and cold drinks halfway through then got to spend the remaining time at the beach! Susie was the best and we all loved her! We had an amazing time so I highly recommend this tour and ask to go with Susie!

    Response from the operator: Hi 442kenedyd, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your tour with Susie. She truly has a special gift for spotting wildlife and making sure everyone feels included, and we’ll be sure to share your kind words with her. We’re glad you loved the fruit stop, the refreshing drinks, and your time at the beach. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

    Manuel Antonio National Park Guided Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Manuel Antonio National Park Guided Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $69 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 Manuel Antonio National Park Guided Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3.5 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 Manuel Antonio National Park Guided Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Manuel Antonio National Park Guided Tour?

    +

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

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

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

    +

    Around 2 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Manuel Antonio National Park Guided Tour 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 Manuel Antonio National Park Guided Tour?

    +

    Included: Snacks; Lunch; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Manuel Antonio National Park Guided Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 57 listed pickup locations in and around Quepos. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Manuel Antonio National Park Guided Tour 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 Manuel Antonio National Park Guided Tour?

    +
