    Tour guide Eiderson was...

    Tour guide Eiderson was amazing. Shows us lots of animals i would not have seen otherwise. Super nice and informative....would recommend him in a heartbeat. The park itself was a bit crowded but our tour guide did a good job of getting us through as a group and making sure we enjoyed it. The beach at the end is beautiful but many rocks in the water that cant be seen made it difficult to enjoy.....came out bleeding from being smashed on the boulders underneath. As warm and beautiful the water was, I got out because it was hard to enjoy.

    Knowledgeable and fun guide

    My husband and I had a great time learning more about the animals and biodiversity of Costa Rica. Jason was an excellent and fun guide and answered all of our questions. He’s very knowledgeable and has an eye for spotting the wildlife around us. We would recommend him to friends and family

    Best Nature Tour

    I walked th guided tour with a broken toe..so it can be done! Having a guide is the only way to do it. They find all the creatures that u would miss and are so knowledgeable about everything there. They take photos and zoom in on objects for a wonderful experience. Not only is the park beautiful but also the beaches pristine...wear your suit under your clothes for u will be ready to cool off and enjoy the beach after the tour.

    Manuel Antonio National Park: Ticket Include Private & Group Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Manuel Antonio National Park: Ticket Include Private & Group Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $29 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: Ticket Include Private & Group 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: Ticket Include Private & Group Tour 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 173 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: Ticket Include Private & Group 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: Ticket Include Private & Group 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: Ticket Include Private & Group Tour?

    +

    Around 61 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: Ticket Include Private & Group 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.
