Manuel Antonio Bio Adventure — Attraction in Quepos

I decided to take a 2 hrs guided tour, and my buddy decided to only purchased the entrance without the guide. My guide informed us to keep our expectations low that we might not see much wildlife since even on the first week of January it is considered cold for the wild life, rainy season seems to be dragging on this year and in my humble opinion too many people (noise) She was right we did not see Howling Monkeys nor white faces. In two occasions we saw Sloths but had to use the binoculars even then they were hard to see, my buddy saw more wildlife that we did with our guide. What I liked about our guide, she was very knowledgeable, learned a lots about the white face monkeys even if I did not see any, only one outside digging in the garbage and also learned on the park in general and wildlife behaviour. Do not attempt to drive there, parking is a mess, take public transportation or taxi/UBer! The beach in the park are gorgeous even have showers and a restaurant inside the park. I really enjoyed my experience but was it worth what I paid for almost 100$ Cdn, I don’t think so but it is...

Nice park, unfortunately we hardly saw any animals. Without a guide and their equipment it must be almost impossible to see anything, as we said "we can't see the forest for all the trees" then how will we be able to see any animals... Lots of people! Long queue and then we were there at 7.30 in the morning. It is not permitted to bring in plastic bottles, fruit or food, etc. Tickets are bought via the park's website, which worked like that, but after several attempts we succeeded. We walked from the beach, parking is available, quickly became full. A cash machine is available at one of the hotels next to the entrance. In the park there is a fantastically nice beach, crystal clear water, but no sunbeds or parasols or restaurant/bar...

We had an amazing private tour with Manuel Antonio Bio Adventures. Our guide, Alex, was outstanding—extremely knowledgeable and engaging. During the tour, we spotted both two- and three-fingered sloths, Jesus lizards, land crabs, and even a Common Potoo.

Our adventure began with a hike through the rainforest, continued down to the beach, and wrapped up with a stop at a café for some delicious chocolate and vanilla ice cream.

We highly recommend hiring a tour guide to get the most out of the experience. Just be cautious of the monkeys at the beach—they’re notorious...
