Ideal for first-time visitors, travelers who unfortunately will not be able to find an entry ticket to visit the National Park (ONLY 1,500 available tickets per day), or those with limited time arriving at Manuel Antonio in the late afternoons (Manuel Antonio National Park closes entry at 2:30 p.m.)
We invite you to learn and collaborate with the local wildlife and conservation that lives in the surrounding green areas of Manuel Antonio and Quepos communities (Urban Wildlife Hotspots) As locals and experienced certified tour guides, we have organically gained a clear understanding and knowledge on where and at what specific times animals habitually eat, sleep, bask, socialize, and even mate.
Our city parks, hotel grounds, parking areas, roadsides, boardwalks, seawalls, and marinas are teeming with local wildlife. These green urban areas are extremely important in maintaining the successful network of wildlife corridors, supported by a system of animal crossing bridge projects.
Pickup included
Located right next to the Manuel Antonio National Park, Playa Espadilla Norte will be our starting point, there are multiple known areas where we can easily observe monkeys, sloths, toucans, and sometimes crocodiles. The route starts from the roundabout and the old entrance to the national park, (mangroves, urban parks, beach areas, garden areas)
On the way to Playa Bieazans (Punta Quepos), there are several hotel gardens, roadsides, panoramic views, and some local trails to explore in search of macaws, parrots, and toucans, near the beach area where we can possibly observe monkeys, sloths and much more.
Thanks to our solid friendship as professionals and people. We work with a team of taxi drivers, tour vans, and other tour guides who constantly share information about interesting species nesting, sleeping, or living in Manuel Antonio, we will be sure to stop by any new reports.
You can choose to be picked up from a list of locations, or alternatively, have the choice to make your own way to the meeting points
