Manuel Antonio National Park Monkey Tour｜Costa Rica

Meet your guide and set off on a 2-hour tour of Manuel Antonio National Park, one of the most remarkable primate-watching destinations in the world. Unlike most tropical parks where you might spot only one monkey species, Manuel Antonio is home to three species of monkeys, a rare concentration of primate diversity in a compact, easily accessible park.

Focus the full 2 hours on encountering, observing, and learning about these fascinating primates. Your ICT-certified guide doesn't just point animals out. They interpret behavior, explain social structures, share conservation status, and provide the kind of insight that turns a wildlife sighting into something you actually understand.

Spot white-faced capuchin monkeys, the park's most commonly encountered primates. These bold, intelligent, and endlessly entertaining monkeys are frequently observed using tools to crack open nuts and have been documented in complex problem-solving behaviors.

Next, see squirrel monkeys, tiny, jewel-like primates listed as endangered and found only in southern Costa Rica and a small area of Panama. Manuel Antonio has one of the healthiest squirrel monkey populations in the country, making this one of the best places in the world to observe them.

Finally, hear howler monkeys, famous for their extraordinary vocalizations, the loudest calls of any land animal in the Western Hemisphere. Hearing a troop of howlers reverberating through the rainforest is something you don't forget quickly.
