Manuel Antonio National Park Walking Tour
A gentle, guided walk through the park's most scenic and wildlife-rich trails. Accessible for all ages and fitness levels.
Manuel Antonio Walking Tour: For Everyone
Our Manuel Antonio National Park walking tour is designed to be a solid introduction to this ecosystem: accessible, enjoyable, and richly rewarding for guests of all ages and fitness levels. While our other tours delve deeper into the jungle, the walking tour focuses on the park's most scenic and wildlife-dense main trails.
You'll be guided by one of our ICT-certified naturalists who has spent years learning the intimate details of Manuel Antonio's wildlife: where the sloths sleep, which trees the white-faced monkeys visit mid-morning, and the exact branches where scarlet macaws like to perch. The walking pace is relaxed and comfortable, with frequent stops for wildlife observation.
The tour covers the park's primary trail loop, passing through beautiful primary rainforest, secondary forest, and coastal areas with Pacific Ocean viewpoints. The wildlife variety is impressive even on the main trails: sloths hang overhead, squirrel monkeys race through the branches, green iguanas bask on sunny rocks, and dozens of bird species fill the air with sound.
After the tour, Manuel Antonio beach is right there if you'd like to stay and explore it on your own.
The group walking tour is especially popular with families, seniors, and guests who prefer a more relaxed pace. With groups limited to just 10 people maximum, the experience feels personal and intimate, never rushed or crowded.
