    Dylan was an amazing person. Best guide ever. His wealth of knowledge about the park and the entire eco system was beyond believe. His personality and humor were contagious. Highly recommend

    Excellent tailored experience

    Dylan was so lovely, and clearly cares very much about both the nature you're walking through and your experience of it. His ears and eyes are so sharp, he will definitely find everything you are hoping to see that can be seen, and help you get great pics to take home. I was solo, the pace was relaxed and the whole tour was very much a choose your own adventure. Truly a magical day, thank you Dylan!

    Amazing Private Tour by Andrew of Manuel Antonio NP

    Our tour guide, Andrew, was absolutely fantastic! Incredibly knowledgeable of the animal life in the park, and had a great rapport with the other guides, which helped us maximize our time. Based on our observance of the other groups and their guides, I would say Andrew was in the upper echelon of all the guides you could possibly have. Just for reference, we saw capuchins on the beach end of the tour, a distant sloth, several kinds of iguana, several species of insects and birds, a Fer de Lance, and more I'm likely forgetting.

    Andrew was our guide, and...

    Andrew was our guide, and he was wonderful! We had a lovely walk, and he spotted a variety of animals, insects, and birds to show us. We learned a lot of interesting facts about the forest and local wildlife. I’d highly recommend a tour with him!

    Manuel Antonio National Park Hiking Guided Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Manuel Antonio National Park Hiking Guided Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $95 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 Hiking Guided Tour 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 Manuel Antonio National Park Hiking Guided Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 242 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Quepos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

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

    +

    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 Manuel Antonio National Park Hiking Guided Tour 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 Manuel Antonio National Park Hiking Guided Tour?

    +

    Around 85 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 Manuel Antonio National Park Hiking 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.
