We booked Mikes through La Mariposa and it was amazing. Our guide Alex was kind, knowledgeable, and answered any questions we had about the animals / plants. You could... read more tell he shared in the excitement with us when another animal was located. The walk through the park was also a perfect pace and distance. We saw sloths, monkeys, lizards, butterflies, frogs, birds, and snakes (each with their own story). There was no shortage of things to see. Alex knew the right spots to look and always explained everything very clearly. Alex is the man and I would highly recommend Mikes Tour.

  Visiting the Manuel Antonio National Park is a must but a guided tour is worth the money. There are so many sites to see that you will miss without a... read more guide. Michael Araya runs a great group of tour guides and Alex was our guide. Alex was very knowledgeable and friendly...he took the time to point out all the wildlife (most we would have missed without is eagle eyes) and explain everything in detail. He was patient with us and made sure we all got to see what he was finding and making sure we all got excellent pictures. I highly recommend this group.

  Our tour guide Jacob was outstanding. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of the biodiversity and could spot animals like a Wildlife ninja. (All the other tour guides... read more from other tour operators kept relying on our tour guide to spot animals.) Jacob is clearly a legend at Manuel Antonio. Do NOT hike Manuel Antonio without Mike’s Nature Tours. They are incredible.
