We went on 2 great tours with Manuel Antonio expeditions- the national park tour with Edgar and the Damas Island mangrove boat tour with Paul. Originally we thought we would do the kayaking tour of the mangrove, but chose the boat tour at the recommendation of Paul. We were so happy we did! I think we covered so much more... More

On reading others' reviews of Michael and his telescope I think I'm in the right place. He was the best tour guide and worth every penny of the nominal $45/person that was charged. We would never have seen anything without his trained eye and telescope. He slowly guided us through and was funny and knowledgeable. Definitely get a guide! Michael... More

We used Manuel Antonio Expeditions(owner is Juan Brenes) for 3 tours in the Manuel Antonio area in late March. We were very glad we did. Edgar did our tour of Manuel Antonio park. We had 8 people on the tour. This is a very crowded park. The experience is more like walking through an open-air zoo, lots of groups and... More

Paul was a great guide on our tour of the mangroves. He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the Costa Rican ecosystem -- you can tell how much he loves it all. He was great with the 4 kids under 10 that we had on the trip, making it interesting and accessible for them while engaging the adults as well. He... More

Without Michael our amazing guide, we would have seen nothing at the park! He was able to spot sleeping sloths, pre-historic lizards, exotic birds, and colorful Iguanas from far away. He'd then set up his telescope and give us all a close up look at Costa Rica's fascinating wildlife. A wonderful experience that I highly recommend! More
