The tour was a great way to experience the beach and see Manuel Antonio National Park without having to commit an entire day to beach-going. We had tasty breakfast and lunch at local Sodas and then made lots of little stops to see local animals. When we arrived at the national park, our guide Oscar was an expert and spotting animals and pointing them out to us. He was a safe driver and we never felt confused or left out of the loop. This was a great day on our trip to Costa Rica.Everything was really amazing with a Francisco our guide that help us in all the time. Take us on time and with the best options to enjoy everything.
