★★★★★Viator review
A must-see in Costa Rica
JessicaF_T, September 2026
The park is beautiful and was expertly exhibited to us by Henry, who pointed out all sorts of different flora and fauna - multiple different reptiles, birds, insects, and monkeys, and we got to see several sloths, along with many different trees and plants and their roles in the ecosystem. Henry also has great stories! The tour culminated in a visit to an amazing beach with calm waves and amazing views, where you can safely swim pretty far out. Highly recommend visiting and touring the park; it was easily one of the main highlights of our trip to Costa Rica.

Amazing photos and great guide!
Danielle_L, September 2026
Doing this guided was seriously the only way we would have seen any of the animals we saw. They can spot them so easily! The photos they can take through the scope lense is practically professional! Best nature experience by far! Then the beach time afterwards is so relaxing and peaceful. Highly recommend.
Response from the operator · Vacation12054170635

Great experience with Mike’s Nature Tours
Q1687XRcharless, August 2026
Had a great experience with Mike’s Nature Tours and the Manuel Antonio National Park tour. Pickup was easy - your bus arrived at our hotel on time and got us to the park quickly. Our guide, Alex, did an amazing job finding all kinds of animals in the park. He has a superhuman ability to find all kinds of animals from tiny grasshoppers to sloths, monkies, bats, frogs and more. He has a great understanding of the ecosystem of the park, and was good about including everyone in our group of three families. At the end of the tour they had cold water and fresh fruit waiting for us - so refreshing! Mike’s Nature Tours is highly recommended and a great value for your money.
Response from the operator · Vacation12054170635
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🦥🌿 We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience exploring Manuel Antonio National Park with Alex. His incredible ability to spot wildlife is definitely one of his special talents! 🐒🐸🦥 We’re also happy to know you enjoyed the transportation, fresh fruit, and cold water after the tour. It was a pleasure having your group with us, and we truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation. 💚 We hope to welcome you back to Costa Rica for another adventure! 🌴🇨🇷

Wonderful experience
Thea_M, August 2026
Excellent for those who like wildlife big and small. There are a lot of guided walks at the same time but our guide Alex managed to nicely keep our little group separate while taking advantage of shared guide wildlife spotting. Alex was really knowledgeable with a true interest in all sorts of wildlife. Great English. We would not of spotted the wildlife without the guide as frogs, lizards, sloths and snakes all camouflage really well. It also helped us think about where to look when walking back from the beach on our own. We chose to get the transfer to the tour, after the tour we asked to make our own way back spending a couple of hours on the beach and another hour looking for wildlife on our way back. Was easy to walk out of the national park to the poplar beach and catch the bus to our hotel.
Response from the operator · Vacation12054170635
Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed review! 🌿🦥🐸 We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience with Alex and that his knowledge and passion for wildlife made the tour even more special. Manuel Antonio is full of incredible creatures that can be surprisingly difficult to spot, so we’re especially happy Alex helped you discover frogs, lizards, sloths, snakes, and more! 🐍🦎🦥 His ability to find well-camouflaged wildlife is definitely a wonderful part of the experience. We’re also glad you enjoyed having the flexibility to explore the beach and walk back through the park at your own pace. Thank you for choosing Mike’s Nature Tours and for recommending us. We hope to see you again on your next Costa Rican adventure! 🌴🇨🇷
