Manuel Antonio
The tour IS NOT inside the Manuel Antonio National Park, is on a private reserve right next. We, as a guides, have the necessary experience to make a safe entrance to the place, which is beautiful but at the same time very careful, since it is normal to run into snakes (boas, fer de lance, bocaracá, among others) frogs (red eyes, crystal, bull, ding) toads, tarantulas, mammals (kinkajous, anthill, sloths). The tour is a challenge for the guide, since each night is different and different species are seen according to the night. However, with our high definition telescope we can make your experience unique and unforgettable, as we can see the animals more closely, and photograph them through your cell phone or camera. The tour ends at approximately 8:00 p.m. and then after thanking you, we are making the return to the respective hotels.

Great night tour with an excellent guide
I really enjoyed this night tour. My guide was very knowledgeable and had incredibly sharp eyes for spotting wildlife that I would never have noticed myself. I saw an amazing variety of animals, including many frogs and toads, three snakes, a tarantula, a crocodile, a sloth and even a kinkajou. The guide took the time to explain what I was seeing and was also very clear about the safety precautions, especially when we encountered venomous snakes close to the trail. I felt I was in very capable hands throughout the tour.

Loved it!
We had such a good time with JP. He was very knowledgeable and took all the photos so we can just be in the moment and he made sure we were safe. Thank you for the unforgettable memories! 🐸

Good guide; not so good viewing
We didn't see a whole lot of wildlife--mostly insects. But guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We understand the guides can't control the wildlife. Since it's hit or miss; not sure about the value for money.

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Manuel Antonio Night Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quepos.
How much does Manuel Antonio Night Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 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 Night Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 85 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 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 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 Night Tour?
+
Around 30 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 Night 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 Whitewater Rafting Savegre Class II-III plus Waterfall Manuel Antonio, Manuel Antonio Canopy Tour - Longest Twin Zip Line in Central America, Waterfall Ziplining & Canyoning. 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.
