The tour was great! Arturo and Harlem were amazing guides. We started out at the fruit stand. Followed by a delicious breakfast. We then headed Manuel Antonio! It was beautiful. We saw sloth, iguanas and many more animals. Highly recommend.
Great day

There is so much wild life to see in Costa Rica, and we got to see a lot of it! The macaws weren’t out to be seen when we arrived, but that was the only downside. The beach was wonderful, the water felt amazing, and the national park overall was a great experience. Great views for lunch, to top it off!
