Manuel Antonio National Park Tours in Winter

The trip really packed in some iconic elements of Costa Rica, and lived up to its name in terms of seeing the highlights. It was great to experience the contrast of the Caribbean lowlands, rain forest and the pacific coast. And seeing the abundance of wildlife was incredible, as well as the delicious local dishes and wonderful people we me along the way. The guide was great, really personable and had good knowledge and a keen sense to show us as much as possible, often stopping en route when he had spied interesting animals from the van. The Manuel Antonio and the La Fortuna accommodation was great. The Authentico hotel was fine for passing through but we had paid for an additional night in San Jose, and for this purpose the hotel wasn’t in the best of locations as it was on the edge of the city with not much around in terms of restaurants so we felt a bit stuck in the hotel at the end.

Loved every minute of the trip. Saw lots of amazing animals and experienced diverse regions of Costa Rica. The tour guide was very efficient and looked after everyone really well

The star of the experience was Gracie - how she made us a cohesive group. She kept everything on schedule. Gracie had a great smile and sense of humour. She was very knowledgeable about Costa Rica and we drove along on the bus she would give us information on agriculture, education, schooling, history of the country etc Great discussion on the challenges of the massive increase in tourism. Certainly would very much enjoy having Gracie as my CEO on my next trip

We had a great time! It was the perfect introductory trip. Our agent Yuliana was very responsive and flexible. All the guides were great and very knowledgeable. Drivers were always prompt and courteous. Costa Rica is a beautiful country and the people are extremely friendly and helpful. The wildlife was incredible, the rainforest and beaches are beautiful.

We had a wonderful and appreciated our CEO, Kim. She picked out good activities, helped us to think about when each type of activity would be best and how to weight the options. There were some tough personalities and she navigated those relationships with grace. We hit some major traffic and she remained calm. Kim set the tone for the week and her positive energy worked well with the kids to give them great experiences!

This exceeded our expectations. My wife and I are experienced travelers and this was the first ?real? trip experience for our kids. Having a family themed trip was wonderful, and the kids had a blast with their tour friends. The other parents were easy to bond with. Berny was a great guide, and we were very satisfied with the experience. Looking forward to another tour!
