Manuel Antonio Private Tour
Your guide. Your pace. Fully private, fully personalized.
The Ultimate Manuel Antonio Private Tour Experience
For travelers who want the absolute best of Manuel Antonio National Park, without compromise, our private tour delivers exactly that. With a dedicated ICT-certified guide focused entirely on your group, no one else's schedule, preferences, or pace to consider, the private tour turns a good park visit into something you'll actually remember.
Your guide brings the same 14+ years of expertise and the same 80–90% wildlife sighting rate as our group tours, but with the added luxury of full flexibility. Want to spend extra time watching a sloth nurse its young? Stay as long as you like. Fascinated by the tiny poison dart frogs? Your guide knows exactly which microhabitats to explore. Traveling with a toddler who needs a slower pace? No problem. Your tour adapts completely to your group.
The Manuel Antonio private tour is particularly popular with wildlife photographers, honeymoon couples, families with young children, and guests with specific wildlife interests. Our guides are experienced at tailoring the experience to maximize whatever aspect of the park matters most to you.
With a duration of 2 hours, the private tour also allows for deeper exploration of the park's less-visited trails, increasing your chances of encountering species that busier group tours might miss. After the tour wraps up, Manuel Antonio beach is right there if you'd like to stay and explore it on your own.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the guided tour and the private tour?
Our group guided tour is shared with up to 10 guests. The private tour means you have the guide entirely to yourselves. No sharing, no compromise on pace or focus. You can spend 20 minutes watching a sloth if you want, or skip a trail entirely to spend more time on the beach. Everything is adapted to your group.
Can the private tour be customized for photographers?
Absolutely. Many of our private tour guests are wildlife photographers. Your guide will prioritize good lighting positions, allow time for shot setup, and seek out species best suited for photography. Let us know your interests when booking and we'll tailor the experience.
Is the private tour suitable for families with small children?
Yes, the private tour is ideal for families with young children because the pace is entirely flexible. Your guide adapts the tour to the children's energy and attention levels, making it educational and exciting for the whole family.
