    Amazing jungle tour!

    Amazing experience. Highly recommend a guide as you will miss all the animals that blend into the jungle. Diego with Guach Nature Tours was very informative and knowledgeable about all the local animals and ecology. His spotting scope was high quality and he pointed out so many animals including 3 sloths! Booking was easy and communication was clear and timely. Worth every penny!

    Nighttime tour a must do

    Nighttime tour was excellent. Saw a variety of frogs, a snake, and several rescued crocodiles and caimans. Guide was knowledgeable and communicated well.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the tour. It was a pleasure to have you! Pura vida!

    Night Tour Manuel Antonio

    What a great tour! It felt really special to be in the rainforest at night. Our tour guide Fabio really had an eye for all the animals and was super nice and knowledgeable! Absolutely recommend.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour and would recommend it, it truly motivates us to keep sharing these experiences. Thanks for letting us be part of your trip!

    Felt a bit like a zoo tour

    The tour guide was amazing, really good at spotting animals and really knowledgeable. However most of the tour was spent in the butterfly/crocodile enclosures so it felt more like a zoo tour rather than a wildlife tour.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the guide's expertise and knowledge. We’d like to clarify that the butterfly garden and crocodile lagoon make up only a small portion of the tour around 30 minutes of a 2+ hour experience. The majority of the walk takes place in natural forest trails, where wildlife is observed in its natural habitat. We hope you enjoyed the full range of sightings! 🌿 Zoo vibes, but in the jungle ?

    Highlight of our trip to Costa Rica!

    The evening jungle tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He was a native of the area, and so he was very well qualified to guide us. Our tour was not rushed at all, and my husband and I had all of our questions answered thoroughly and enthusiastically. It was a joy to see the animals in the nighttime jungle up close and personal. Until that point, they had only been photos in a magazine or travel brochure. Now, we see them through a new perspective - as real fellow inhabitants of our planet. We loved our experience and highly recommend it for couples, families, and anyone who wants to experience our planet’s natural treasures. And no, it wasn’t scary!

    Manuel Antonio Night Jungle Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Manuel Antonio Night Jungle Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $50 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 Night Jungle Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour 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 Night Jungle Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 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 Manuel Antonio Night Jungle 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 Night Jungle Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Manuel Antonio Night Jungle Tour?

    +

    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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Manuel Antonio Night Jungle 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.

    +

    Included: Bilingual certified guide; Parking; Flashlights; and Park entrance fee. Not included: Transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Manuel Antonio Night Jungle Tour?
