About the Experience
Manuel Antonio National Park is one of Costa Rica’s smallest protected areas, yet it is also one of the country’s most visited destinations thanks to its beautiful beaches and remarkable diversity of wildlife.
During the guided walk, an experienced naturalist will help guests find and observe animals hidden throughout the dense tropical forest. Possible sightings include sloths, monkeys, lizards, birds, amphibians, snakes, insects and other native species.
The guided trail portion lasts approximately two hours and finishes near the beaches. Afterward, guests may enjoy free time swimming, relaxing or exploring additional trails before returning at the time confirmed by the guide.
