Great tour with a good amount of stops for refreshments and toilet. Be prepared for a long drive however (the driving part from San José to Manuel Antonio and back takes nearly 9h), which means you'll have less than 2 hours to explore the park itself. I understand the tour operator is trying to diversify it's tour by adding extra stops along the way, however the Macau bird stop in the fishing village was disappointing to say the least. We spent nearly 1 hour there and feel we didn't see very much. I can't help but feel this time would have been much more well spent by giving us extra time in Manuel Antonio National Park.

It was an amazing tour! Our guide made sure we saw sooo many species of animals. The beach is super beautiful and the food was delicious as well. Cons: San Jose is not the safest city to walk at night, so I expect the pick up to be where I live not to be told I need to go somewhere else at 5 am when I chose the pick up option. Otherwise great tour!

It was an incredible experience. I was fortunate to have a guide named Oscar and he was very kind and attentive at all times with the group, always worried that we could all see the monkeys, sloths, insects, birds, etc. The walk along the trail was very good, the stop at the beach too, the transfer, everything!
