Freddy is a great guide and knows the property well. We saw five sloths, a stick bird, a couple of monkeys and several javelina. We learned a lot about the history of the area and enjoyed our tour.

Excellent reserve
A wonderful reserve. Small and intimate but lots of birds and mammals. We did an afternoon walk where we saw lots with our excellent guide . Then we did a morning walk v bird walk and it was fabulous- we saw so much including toucans , caymans and sloths alongside all the birdlife.
Response from the operator: Hi there.! Thanks for taking your time and sharing this review we appreciate it, we try to do our best we can on each tour we start, we try to make worth every single moment. Muchas gracias and pura vida.

Want to see more animals? Book this tour!
Freddy is incredibly knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the Baru reserve. He knows about the ecosystem and each of the animals that inhabit it. It was well worth the cost for the private tour as we saw many more animals than the folks who did not book a tour!
Response from the operator: Hola Terri.! Thanks for taking your time and sharing this review we appreciate it, yes that morning we were very lucky to see all that. Every time we go in a tour we try to make it worth every single time.! Muchas gracias and pura vida.

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Guided Walking Tour in Hacienda Baru TICKET NOT included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quepos.
How much does Private Guided Walking Tour in Hacienda Baru TICKET NOT included cost?
+
Prices start at $88 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 Private Guided Walking Tour in Hacienda Baru TICKET NOT included 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 Private Guided Walking Tour in Hacienda Baru TICKET NOT included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 71 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 Private Guided Walking Tour in Hacienda Baru TICKET NOT included?
+
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 Private Guided Walking Tour in Hacienda Baru TICKET NOT included 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 Private Guided Walking Tour in Hacienda Baru TICKET NOT included?
+
Around 25 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 Private Guided Walking Tour in Hacienda Baru TICKET NOT included 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.

Not included: Customers have their own vehicle we will meet them at Hacienda Baru; Each customer will purchase their own tickets; and Snacks.
