Amazing day at Manuel Antonio with Geraldo
Geraldo was an amazing wealth of knowledge and had a great sense of humor. He not only spotted the unique animals but had a special scope so we could see them up close. He sent us a free link of all the animals and videos he took with the special binocular so we could download. He made the day special by arranging a surprise birthday cake for my mom at the lunch after our tour. It was delicious and so thoughtful. We saw so many animals up close that we would have never have seen with a guide! It was such an amazing day! The beach was spectacular and beautiful. If you continue on the path toward the exit the second beach area is much less people.
Response from the operator: Hello dear friend, on behalf of Iguana Tours and all our Team, we would like to thank you for your kind comment and support. Best regards, Adrián Martínez - Iguana Tours.

The Best Experience
Wow wow wow. What an incredible experience! We did a private tour with Mauricio (and his son Dejan, who was an expert at siting creatures large and small) and it was well worth it. They were so knowledgeable, took their time, found so much wildlife and had high quality scopes for us to get up close views. They made the trip fun for everyone! We saw sloths, white faces monkeys, howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys (such a treat!), an anteater, iguanas, basilisk, colorful land crabs, bats, and other lizards. Our group of 6 ranges in age from 9 to 75, and one is recovering from knee surgery with limited mobility. We were able to navigate the trail with a combination of crutches and wheelchair with some effort and all were able to enjoy. The beach at the end was BEAUTIFUL and the perfect payoff. Be sure to wear or pack swimsuits! I can’t say enough about Iguana tours and Mauricio & Dejan. From pre trip communication to parking and all through the guided hike, these two deliver a top notch experience!
Response from the operator: Wow it is your comment. A comment who come to motivated all of us to keep working hard on our daily tours. Thank you very much for sharing your visit to Manuel Antonio with Iguana Tours. Pura Vida - Adrian Martinez - Iguana Tours

Manuel Antonio Park Is a Must See !
Our guide Felipe was fabulous , we saw so many animals and wildlife. We had a fantastic group of ten and the tour was a nice pace , not rushed so you could see alot. Felipe was fun, professional and very knowledgable. Our visit to the beach and the monkeys were a highlight. Felipe also recommended a local restaurant after the tour that was also delicious.
Response from the operator: Thank you ¡ Muchas gracias.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Manuel Antonio National Park Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quepos.
How much does Manuel Antonio National Park Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $75 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 Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 323 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 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 Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Manuel Antonio National Park Tour?
+
Around 113 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Manuel Antonio National Park 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 Tour?
+
Included: Professional guide; Snacks; and Hotel pickup and drop-off (Transportation is included). Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Manuel Antonio National Park Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 21 listed pickup locations in and around Quepos. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Manuel Antonio National Park Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. 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 Tour?
+
