Overall very good, the pick up had a mishap and they were delayed almost an hour more than the agreed time. It was very difficult to see any sloths, the beach was magnificent and the personal guide (Marcos) who was both the driver and the entertainer of the whole trip was excellent in every way!!!

Manuel Antonio National Park Day Trip

At 6 am we'll pick you up from your hotel in San José and set off for the Manuel Antonio National Park. On the way, you'll get to see African Palm plantations and picturesque Costa Rican villages.

Halfway through the journey, we'll stop for breakfast at a restaurant located next to the largest fruit market in the country! Then, after two and a half hours on the road, we'll arrive at the Manuel Antonio National Park. We'll cross a stream to enter this incredible natural reserve, where we'll discover idyllic beaches with crystal clear waters.

Afterwards, we'll explore the park to meet the wild animals that inhabit it, such as monkeys, sloths, toucans, agoutis and much more! At the end of the tour, we'll recharge our batteries with a delicious typical lunch in a local restaurant.

At the end of the trip we'll head back to your hotels in San José for around 6 pm.

En general muy buena, la recogida tuvo un percance y se demoraron casi una hora de más de la hora acordada. Muy difícil de visualizar algún perezoso, la playa magnífica y el guía personal (Marcos) que fue a la vezl chófer, y animador de todo el viaje excelente en todos los sentidos !!!

La actividad muy bien y el sitio precioso, la comida también, el guía y el conductor muy agradables. No obstante, al ser domingo nos tomó 7 horas regresar desde Manuel Antonio a San José, por los atascos (presas). Desde las 2pm hasta las 8pm en el coche, se hace duro y desgasta bastante. Mejor hacer este tipo de tour entre semana. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was great and the place was beautiful, the food was also good, the guide and the driver were very nice. However, since it was Sunday it took us 7 hours to get back from Manuel Antonio to San José, because of the traffic jams. From 2pm to 8pm in the car, it is hard and tiring. It is better to do this type of tour during the week. Opinion translated. Show original.

É um tanto longe, desde San José. Mas, levando em conta isso, a excursão foi muito boa. O guia, Armando, competente e legal por demais. Os lugares visitados são bonitos, e o restaurante após o tempo na praia foi ótimo. Translate this opinion into English.
