We took a tour of Manuel Antonio National Park in the morning, and had a tour reserved here for the afternoon; we were so tired after the morning we almost... read more canceled and I’m so happy we didn’t!! This tour was much better than the national park- we saw WAY more animals (capuchin monkeys up close, howler monkeys, sloths, woodpeckers, macaws, very interesting frogs and insects, lizards, and of course the crocodiles and butterflies after the walk), plus the walk itself felt more authentic and was very beautiful. Our guide Juan was so nice and incredibly knowledgeable. Another plus was that there was no restriction on bringing in snacks, which was a big problem for us in the national park with young kids. Honestly we would have done this instead of the Manuel Antonio National park tour.

  Could not recommend more! Such a fun experience. - We did zip line tour and it was awesome! Could not recommend more. Very attentive, knowledgeable and fun guides, very personal experience. Diego did a great job at organizing our... read more tour. The zip lines are so exciting and at the end you rappel near the waterfall. I’ve never done zip line before so this set the bar really high! It also included the croc tour and butterfly garden and we happened to see some sloths pretty up close. Everything was done so well and the price was great!

  Our guide Sebastian was very friendly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the animals and insects of Sukia. We went during the day and did not see many animals (a heron, a... read more dart frog, and some lizards) during our hike but we did learn a lot about the ecosystem and thoroughly enjoyed our hike through the property and the waterfall. There's also a beautiful butterfly garden where we got to see them in all life stages, as well as a crocodile, turtle, and black Cayman refuge which was very cool to walk through and learn about. Highly recommend!

  We booked a 10am tour with our baby and 3 year old son. We were the only people on the tour and it was fantastic! We saw a sloth, monkeys... read more and lots of other wildlife, then visited the crocodiles and butterflies.
Much quieter and more personal than Manuel Antonio National Park. Highly recommend.

  I visited Sukia last month with my daughter and her friend. We have visited the butterfly gardens on previous occasions, the park in now under new ownership and offering much... read more more.
Juan our knowledgeable guide, showed us the butterflies, crocodiles and turtles and then we headed onto beautiful trails that lead to a waterfall view point. Juan was excellent, and great with the kids. I’m excited to see what other projects they are working on, and pleased that they are developing sustainably and protecting this vital natural area in the heart of Manuel Antonio.

  We did the butterflies and crocs tour. Juan was fantastic! Kept our whole group (age range from 5 yo to 55 yo) engaged. He was just wonderful! Highly recommend!

  Booked a Night Tour with Juan; he’s a national treasure. He was extremely kind, friendly & knowledgeable about the local wildlife. It was obvious that he has an unprecedented passion... read more for what he does, and was very forthcoming in sharing that with our group.

Walking the property to see the... read more waterfall and experience the peaceful serenity right in the middle of Manuel Antonio. There are night tours that reveal another universe of reptiles and nocturnal animals. It's memorable, every visitor to this beautiful place should see the turtles and crocodiles, the plants, and the colorful insects. Learn from the helpful guides how humans coexist with the wildlife in the area.

Come prepared with good walking shoes, some insect repellent if coming at evening hours, and I recommend tipping the guides for their thoughtful lessons and Q&A talks.

  We toured Sukia park having already visited Manuel Antonio earlier in the week. What a difference. This is a very personal tour guided by Juan who is one... read more of the best guides we encountered in the area. He made the tour so special for our grandchildren by paying attention to their questions and finding plants and animals that would be especially interesting for kids. We saw a family of monkeys very close up including the alpha male which was very exciting. In addition to the jungle tour they have a crocodile habitat and a butterfly garden so there is plenty for all to see. No crowds like Manual Antonio either.
