I wanted to write a special review for one of the tour guides, Edwards! He was so easy to have around and made our trip to the Eco Hot Springs one of the favorite parts of our vacation.
Steamboat Massage CenterWe highly recommend Efrain’s Nature Tours for your visit to Manuel Antonio National Park. We opted for a private tour and the experience was absolutely amazing! Efrain has an astounding instinct for spotting wildlife and we saw sloths, coatis, squirrel monkeys, Capuchin monkeys, agoutis, basilisk lizards, snakes, insects and countless birds – few of which we would have found on our own. Using his scope, he captured fantastic closeup pictures of many of the animals spotted along the trails. He was very informative and passionate as he talked about the many animals found in the park, and shared his family’s story and how it tied into the park’s history. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our tour. Thank you for a lifetime of unforgettable memories!
Anthony AnfusoNuestro guía Alejandro 10/10, quedamos muy contentos con el tour, vimos muchos animalitos y estuvo atento a todas las preguntas. Recomendamos 100%
Marina PanessiHello Efrain’s Nature Tours, we went on a tour with you today through your truly beautiful national park. We’d like to say a big thank you for that. We’re from Germany and it was incredible to see so many different animals that we’d never seen before. In Germany, we have horses, cows and pigs – that’s about it. 😉 Our guide Alejandro made the tour a real pleasure for us. He had lots of exciting and interesting things to say about every animal we saw. I must also admit that we wouldn’t even have spotted most of the animals without Alejandro. 😅 It’s incredible what a keen eye he has for spotting them. Thanks to him, my son has finally seen a snake too. Many thanks and Pura Vida.
Peta HesseMagnífica actividad cascadas nauyaca, con la mejor atención personal y entorno natural sorprendente. Volvería sin duda
angel lozano ramonRuta a las cascadas de Nauyaca Impresionante. Atención, servicio, comida, paisaje… todo de 10. Gracias a Efrain por hacernos pasar un día increible. PURA VIDA!!
Antonio DavidTotalmente recomendable. Tanto la compañía como nuestro guía Alejandro. Alejandro nos explicó con detalle todos los animales y sus curiosidades que encontramos en nuestra ruta por el parque y nos guío para que fuéramos por nuestra cuenta a la playa. Repetiría sin dudarlo.
Pablo Marín GarcíaNuestro guía Alejandro, nos transmitió su pasión por la naturaleza con información clara e interesante, con imágenes increíbles que nos permitieron conocer en profundidad la biodiversidad del Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio.
Paula RodriguezWe took two tours with Efrain's, both excellent. After my wife broke her leg during our trip they were able to supply a wheelchair and guide to visit Manuel Antonio and then arrange a mangrove boat tour. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel with the staff being helpful and friendly! The guides were great, thanks everyone.
Stewart HuntOur guide Jimmy was wonderful, very informative and expert at finding hidden wildlife. We looked through his high tech scope, then through the camera attached to it…and he sent us all the wonderful photos. This was a great way to experience the park.
Larry GoldbergAlejandro, was a enthousiastic tourguide! We learned a lot from him. He told us so mutch of the animals and plants of the national park. He took foto's from the animals and plants wich he saw with his special binoculars, and send it us later. Without him I schould not see the special animals and plants!
Grietje van der veldeThe Night Tour with Jimmy was awesome! He has an incredible knowledge and eye to spot the smallest creatures. We've seen 2 venomous snakes, 4 tarantulas, red eye tree frog, scorpions and many more.. we highly recommend Jimmy and his "office" to explore the beautiful nature of Quepos! Pura Vida!
NATALIAUna buena experiencia y un buen guía. Gracias Edwards
montserrat montseJimmy was our tour guide, and I had a fantastic experience. He is extremely knowledgeable and certainly passionate about what he does. One of my favorite parts was seeing the photos he took—they were absolutely stunning. The telescope was an amazing addition and made the tour even more special. I would highly recommend Jimmy!
VanessaJimmy gave us the best night time jungle experience we have ever had. We saw pit vipers, tarantellas and sleeping birds. I ask a ridiculous amount of questions and he had answers for all of them. I highly recommend this tour with Jimmy.
Lisa RimskyMuy buen guía. Calido y sabe muy bien sobre los animales
Monica BulnesAwesome tour, we saw sloths, iguanas, snakes and more. Our guide was great. Jimmy had the eyes of a jaguar to spot the animals, the strength of an ant to carry his telescope and the patience of a sloth with our questions.
David JordenTwo Costa Rican vipers!
Meghan Lilly KhannaManuel Antonio , Costa Rica ist ein wunderschöner Ort . Besucht unbedingt den Nationalpark. Die Führung durch den Park war sensationell . Isaac ist ein super guter Rancher , der dir die Möglichkeit gibt Affen, Faultiere , Schlangen, Vögel , Reptilien perfekt in Szene und zeigen kann. 100 Sterne für das Erlebnis.
Dennis EngelkeHernan is a great guide. Very knowledgeable - spots so many living things!
AlexandraLoved our tour at the park. The guide was very knowledgable and interesting.
Rachel GionetWe had a great experience on the Manuel Antonio tour with Jimmy! He was very funny and knowledgeable about the animals and park in general. It was impressive how he was able to spot all the animals that were camouflaged in the forest! Thanks Jimmy for an amazing tour =)
Maria RosalesRecomiendo mucho hacer el tour con Alejandro! Super atento a encontrar animales para que veamos, además de tener la mejor energía y buena onda con nosotros. Si bien el parque puede visitarse sin acompañante, recomiendo al 100% hacerlo con guia, ya que es bastante complicado encontrar animales por si solo. Experiencia 10/10.
Valentina LozanoJimmy was awesome!! We saw so many animals and he had great knowledge of the animals and park. Highly recommend
Daphna RoytblatEdwards was an awesome guide who is very knowledgeable and passionate about his work and provided rich, detailed information about animal behavior and the jungle ecosystem. He was able to see tiny creatures and hidden animals I would otherwise have missed. I appreciated his help in assisting with park entry, which I can see is challenging to navigate. Also, appreciated the fresh fruit snacks mid-tour.
Mark LivelyEdward was an incredible guide and spotted so many different animals and plants! He provided so much additional information about each species of animal we saw and was very kind and knowledgeable. Anyone touring Manuel Antonio would be lucky to have him as their guide!
Andrew CrawfordEdward was great!
Iris SeamsterEduardo was excellent!
Jenna BessentEduardo was a great guide and was very knowledgeable about the local wildlife and fauna. He found creatures I would have never spotted!
Steven SanchezTour was good although some delay in receiving photos.
