If I could give more stars, I would! Jason was AMAZING! Do yourself a favor a book this guide. Without Jason, we would have walked right past everything. We saw monkeys, a sloth, numerous types of lizards, bats, a venomous snake, etc! We did the 10:30 tour. Wonderful experience!!

★★★★★

Our guide JASON was there 10 minutes before our tour began and he met us near the Chalo parking lot, to give us the rundown of what to expect and to go over the park rules. Right from the start you could tell that he was passionate about what he does because he was just as excited and happy as we were to be on the tour. We began our tour with a little history lesson about the Costarican Republic. He taught us a few words like Puravida and Tuanis ( too nice). We saw different wildlife along the way. Jason was knowledgeable, patient and funny. He made the tour cool. Some of the species we saw were two ‘Fer-de-Lance’ snakes, Jesus Christ lizard( common basilisk), Masked tree frog, Toucanets, Leaf nose bats, howler and capuchin monkeys, SLOTHS, brown tree snake, crowned wood nymph, giant red winged grasshopper, green anole lizard. Best walking tour 100% lasting almost 3 hours. Totally worth the price and JASON gave us all the pictures and videos for free. Thank you Jason. PURA VIDA.

★★★★★

Jason was the ultimate professional and very knowledgeable of everything in the park and life. If you want to see what the wildlife of Costa Rica has to offer and learn the real history of the National Park book with him now.

Jason birding tour: 10/10. We had an AMAZING day with Jason exploring Corcovado NP and several other spots nearby. I have done a few birding specific tours: Jason is the best and funniest guide I have ever had the privilege of joining. We got some amazing pics and videos through the scope. He was absolutely first class: extremely knowledgeable on the birds and excellent at spotting, uber friendly and charismatic and a wonderful host (kept us well fed and watered etc). Wonderful day. Book a tour: you won’t regret it.

(Translated by Google) This is highly recommended! We joined the tour with our 4-year-old daughter. The tour guide involved her in everything, which we really appreciated. The guide was very friendly and funny and took very clear, beautiful photos. We saw many animals, including the Ferdelance and the Mexican anteater. Rare to see!

Fantastic experience with fantastic guide! Our guide, Jason, was amazing: professional, knowledgeable, patient, and a natural born comedian. We saw all kinds of lizards, land crabs, hummingbirds, bats, monkeys, and sloths. Jason sent us all the photos and videos he captured. Loved our time. Bring your bathing suits because the way back to the park entrance post tour travels along the coast. Plenty of wonderful beach to enjoy. There is also a place to eat and drink in the park at the tour’s end. Thanks Wakoo Tours and thanks Jason! Well done!

★★★★★

We had a fantastic tour with Wáköö Tours and our Guide Jeremias – a great guide who struck the perfect balance between insightful information, spotting wildlife, and engaging interaction. You could really tell he’s passionate and experienced. Communication was excellent from start to finish – everything was clearly described and well-documented, so we always knew what to expect. All in all, a truly enjoyable experience – highly recommended.

★★★★★

An amazing tour through the Manuel Antonio National Park with Jason! We learned so much and saw a wide variety of animals. Jason was incredibly knowledgeable and made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommended!

★★★★★

Fantastic tour with Andrew, he was brilliant and injected lots of fun into the tour

★★★★★

5 stars all the way. Fantastic guides, very knowledgeable and makes sure you see as much as possible, especially with there high quality scope. Booking (through AirBNB) was well easy and the entire process went well. They informed us very frequently and with all the information and details needed. Also the day itself was top notch from the meeting point till the goodbyes. Definitely the company, more importantly, the people to go for. Big thumbs up

Jason is a very nice guy. I made a mess of my appointment and he helped me out while he did have to. Very thrustworthy.

★★★★★

Jason was our guide, he was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to answer in detail all questions. He did really well finding a huge variety of animals, birds, plants and insects. He spoke to our group in English and Spanish.

★★★★★

Helpful guide with very clear instructions on how to get there, and where to park if you're driving to the park. Explained various details about the animals within the park, and did so in an upbeat and entertaining way. Would book again!

★★★★★

We booked this tour, and then our travel plans changed. Jason was extremely accommodating, and helped refund us. We will be back to Costa Rica and will definitely rebook this tour!

★★★★★

We booked this through AirBnB experiences, and the tour was absolutely fantastic! Andrew was an amazing tour guide - friendly, knew his stuff, and pointed out a ton of animals we would have missed completely. He also took photos through his scope and shared them with us at the end as part of the tour. I totally recommend this place!

Our guide Wilberth knew a great deal about all the animals and plants in the park. He was also able to show us several incredible animals with the telescope, and we learned a lot.

Had a tour with the guide Andrew. It was amazing. He gave us so much information, was so funny and showed a lot of animals! What is really sad and annoying that I don't get this pictures! I don't have an Iphone so he promised me to send me the pictures on whatsapp. He didn't and I don't get a reply to my mails or whatsapp messages.

★★★★★

Andrew was a really nice and funny tourguide with a good eye, i would book with Wáköö Tours again.

★★★★★

My husband and I did this tour on our honeymoon and it completely exceeded our expectations. We had an amazing time seeing so many animals and our tour guide was so knowledgeable and had an amazing eye for spotting the animals.

During our visit to Manuel Antonio, Lurdes, our knowledgeable guide, crafted an exceptional experience, revealing animals we wouldn't have spotted without her and offering insights that ensured seamless exploration. The journey was both educational and enjoyable, fostering a deeper appreciation for the beauty of Manuel Antonio. We encountered the Common Basilisk, Common Tan Making Bat, Iguana, Common Pauraque, Squirrel Monkey, White-Faced Monkey, Howling Monkey, and Sloth – an incredible array! The tour concluded on the beach, the most beautiful I've seen, with crystal-clear water and fine sand creating a breathtaking sight. Keep your bags closed, as monkeys may try to snag something. While there are a few more hiking trails we didn't have time to explore, we plan to return for that experience. Additionally, we received detailed instructions on what to bring, how to get to the place, where to park the car, etc. Note that you must purchase a separate ticket for the park itself, and the entrance time doesn't have to align with the tour start. Wakoo Tours has a special agreement with the park. I recommend contacting them with any questions before purchasing park entry tickets. Don't forget to bring a reusable water bottle; there are water stations inside the park allowing you to refill during the tour. It's advisable to eat beforehand since bringing food isn't allowed, and food options inside the park are limited. Of course, bring a swimsuit and sunscreen—you don't want to miss the opportunity to enjoy the beach inside the park. Highly recommend this guided tour for a fulfilling and enriching adventure!

★★★★★

Jason is amazing to work with, super friendly guy, would highly recommend going with him for the guided tour to San Gerardo de Dota for the quetzals and many more!

★★★★★

Muchas gracias Jason! We did our Manuel Antonio National Park tour with Jason ! He is very knowledgeable and it was amazing to learn so much from him. Thank you for showing us around the park and teaching us so many facts about this beautiful country, animals and plants! Really recommend it!

★★★★★

I highly and unreservedly recommend Wakoo Tours. This was our second time touring Manuel Antonio with Wakoo. The first time we were on a group tour. This time we were on a private tour with Jason, the proprietor. Both tours were fantastic— hence our repeat business. Focusing on this time as it is fresh in our minds, Jason is so knowledgeable, respectful, kind, conscientious, generous and generally lovely. I don’t know how he has the eye he does, but he can find anything, anywhere, including with the optimal view— and he takes stellar photos and videos through his monocular that he shares with clients too. Best of all, he is clearly super knowledgeable, uses proper terminology, and shares loads of information. (Contrast this to one guide we saw who loudly shouted “Monkeys! Monkeys!” to his group without regard to the animals or other visitors, repeatedly called the white-faced capuchins, “white-faced monkeys”, and shared no other information with his group while near us). Other guides clearly respected Jason, and sought him out to help answer some more complicated questions of their guests. The bottom line: Jason is a lovely person, a passionate and knowledgeable birder and guide, and, based on our experiences, you will be in good hands with him or any member of the Wakoo team. Thank you Jason and thank you Wakoo! Good luck and pura vida!

★☆☆☆☆

Unfortunately, I have to leave a very negative review. Due to inaccurate/ incomplete information posted in more than one place, Jason caused me not to be able to visit Manuel Antonio Park, plus he cost me at least $200 for nothing. The information he posted about this tour (and the information that he sent to me after I booked) clearly stated that I would be able to buy my ticket from him. This is the ONLY reason why I booked a tour from him, as there were no more tickets available from the national park website. Jason misleadingly failed to mention that there was any possibility that he would not be able to sell me a ticket. But his rules DO state that if I can't go for any reason, he keeps the $30 I've paid him for my tour. In addition to that, I wouldn't have traveled here to Quepos if I hadn't been sure I could buy a ticket to the park from Jason. So I spent money for transportation to get here and to stay two nights at an AirBnB. So I'm not at all pleased. Jason, you need to stop misleading people and pocketing their money.

★★★★★

Nice tour! Andrew was a very good guide 👍🏾 It’s definitely worth it! We recommend it ✌🏾🇨🇷

★★★★★

Jason was very welcoming and our guide Aaron was amazing. Aaron took the time to make sure we all saw the wildlife he spotted and got us amazing photos through his telescope before moving on. Lots of in-depth pre-event information sent which was incredibly useful including maps and photos of guides and car parking spots. Overall really well organized and I'd recommend booking on to help you make the most out of your time at Manuel Antonio National Park.

★★★★★

We had a great time on our tour of Manuel Antonio National Park thanks to our guide, Andrew. He was full of great info on Costa Rica’s flora & fauna and knew just the places to look to find the insects & animals. We decided very last minute, the day before actually, to take the tour and all the tickets to the park were sold out but Jason was able to get us tickets from another tour company. We originally signed up for the 7 AM tour but they pushed us back to 7:30. I assume this was because there weren’t enough people signed up for 7 AM. It wasn’t a big deal and our group of 10 total, two families of four and a couple had ample time to see all the cool stuff Andrew pointed out along the way. He also took some great pictures with the best phone in the group and then had the woman air drop the pics to everyone else, genius. We ended at the beach which was beautiful and relaxing. You didn’t have to deal with the rip currents we had in Jaco and the waves were just right. We met another couple at the beach that didn’t have near the same tour experience with another guide so we were even more thankful for Andrew. We would definitely recommend Wakoo on your visit to Manuel Antonio.

★★★★★

We booked a guided tour of Manuel Antonio with Jason via his airbnb page. Andrew was our guide on the day and he was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and it made sense given his academic studies (bachelor and masters) are related to biology, nature, and conservation. We saw many animals and insects that we would have completely missed without a guide. It's definitely worth the extra money to arrange a guided tour before you get to the park.

★★☆☆☆

★★★★★

Amazing experience. We were skeptical about needing a tour guide so we booked last minute. Andrew was so knowledgeable and we saw so many animals we would have completely missed. He also gave us a lot of info about the local flora and knew the bird calls and songs which was interesting. He took pictures for us through the scope - something we didn't see from other tours. Highly, highly recommend this company, you will get more than your money's worth on the tour.

★★★★★

If you want to see sloths, monkeys and more, and have decided to visit Manuel Antonio park, book a tour with Wakoo. We booked through Jason, and he set us up with Anthony as our guide. Everything was great, beginning with the parking. Jason gives great directions on where to park and where to meet the guide. Lots of "official" looking people will try and redirect you to other parking and tours, but stay with what the instructions Jason sends. Our guide knew so much of the trees, flowers, birds, insects and more. This was a great day for our family.

★★★★★

Did a tour with Francisco and it was great. Would not have spotted any wildlife aside from monkeys without him. Well worth it

★★★★★

We went on a day tour to Manuel Antonio and a jungle night tour with Andrew as our guide. We saw lots of fun wildlife during the day, including three sloths! Our night tour was less eventful, but we still saw frogs, insects, and a snake. Andrew was very pleasant, funny, and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend the tours if you're in the area!

★★★★★

Hicimos el tour con Jason, la verdad sin él hubiese sido imposible ver tantos animales. Tiene mucho conocimiento, fue el quien fotografió y pudo registrar un perezoso macho cargando una cría. Por lo que si van a realizar el tour háganlo con ellos. Las indicaciones super claras en todo momento. Tienen una especie de binoculares profesionales que a su vez lo conectan a su celular y saca las fotos que luego las comparte. Muy recomendable y disfrutable. (Translated by Google) We took the tour with Jason, and honestly, without him it would have been impossible to see so many animals. He's incredibly knowledgeable; he was the one who photographed and recorded a male sloth carrying a baby. So, if you're going to take the tour, definitely go with them. The directions were super clear at all times. They have a kind of professional binoculars that connects to their cell phone, and they take photos that they then share. Highly recommended and a truly enjoyable experience.

★★★★★

(Translated by Google) Very nice guide. (Original) Sehr netter Guide.

★★★★★

We had Andrew provide our tour and he was excellent. Working with Wakoo was easy and they communicate well. I would highly recommend the services of Wakoo.

★★★★★

Great experience in an absolutely stunning park! Our guide, Andrew, was a trained biologist and an excellent resource for spotting and learning about the flora and fauna of the park. He is clearly passionate about nature and wildlife and speaks excellent English. He also had a spotting scope so that we could zoom in on the wildlife. Our group was small (only 6 people). We saw sloths, monkeys, a caiman an agouti and lots of birds and lizards. I also liked that the tour ended at the beach so that we got to swim and hang out as long as we wanted afterwards. Thanks again, Andrew!

★★★★★

Jason was great! You could tell he had earned respect from many of the other guides by their joking around and poking fun at each other. He was super knowledgeable on the plants, animals, and vegetation we saw in the park (as expected), and was particularly knowledgeable about the birds of costa rica. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him to be a private birding guide if I felt so inclined some day.

★★★★★

Jason was an excellent tour guide! He has a great way of making the tour fun and interesting and we saw so many animals - sloths, bats, snakes, pizotes, monkeys and more! Jason lets you see all the animals through his telescope and takes pictures for you then sends them all after the tour so you get to keep them all, which was a nice extra. He also helps with parking which can be a bit hectic when busy!

★★★★★

Amazing!!! Jason the owner was super organized and provided us with detailed instructions on what to wear, what to bring, how to get there, where to park, etc. We really enjoyed our guide Andrew as he was fun and knowledgeable and clearly passionate about nature. Highly recommend!

★★★★★

(Translated by Google) We had a really great tour with Jason today. He has such eagle eyes, it's truly amazing. Anyone who wants to get the most out of a tour should definitely go with him. (Original) Wir hatten heute eine wirklich super Tour mit Jason. Er hat derartige Adleraugen, dass ist wirklich fabelhaft. Wer das Beste aus einer Tour rausholen will, sollte sie definitiv mit ihm machen.

★★★★★

I've been on multiple tours, multiple times. Wakoo is by far my most enjoyable, informative, and consistently good. I've had Jason as my guide both times and he squeezes so much digestible knowledge into the tour, keeps it upbeat, and what I learned in the first experience was completely different to the second. He knows how the inhabitants of Manuel Antonio national park behave. where they can be found and has a deep empathy for them. That translates to wall to wall sightings of animals throughout thr tour and a sense of genuine care for the fauna and flora he guides you around. As is typical of Ticos, the dad jokes are peppered throughout your conversations. On my latest tour we saw; baby fer-de-lance, baby sloth, adult sloths, hummingbird resting, howler monkeys, basilisk lizard, an exquisite moth, spiders, green eyed tree frog, and more.

★★★★★

We had a great time! We saw so many animals (3 different sloths, bat, coati, snake, giant grasshopper, group of howler monkeys, group of capuchin monkeys, land crabs in the forest, slow iguanas, fast running lizards... Our guide Jerimias was very knowledgeable about the animals. (Jerimias is Jason's brother). Very funny, and he worked in the history of the area and a little culture. When you get a guide, you are really buying into a network... the guides quickly share info as to animal whereabouts. They all seem to know each other and you get into the 'network' of animal locations with a guide. I would not have seen half of the animals without a guide. NOTE: You will have to buy a ticket to the park separately. Jason will send you clear instructions after you book, but do this promptly. You need to have a ticketed entry time that coincides with your tour. NOTE: The parking that you are instructed to use... is just the most convenient location, but it is NOT included. The lot was actually full and don chato directed me instead to a friend's lot about 500 ft away. Not a big deal at all. You will need parking cash... maybe 5 or 7 dollars. Also, Be sure to ignore the other disingenuous lot workers at lots that are 1 or 2 kms away wearing 'park ranger costumes'. They will attempt to stop traffic and force you to "choose" them. NOTE: Plan your day around just chilling on the park beaches for a while after the tour. It is a nice place with a lot of coastline. NOTE: There is one, very slow service restaurant inside the park. The security at the park entrance will do their absolute best to find ANY food you try to pack in. Give yourself time to eat before and after your visit - lots of local options. Jerimias did his absolute best to make sure that everyone got to see each animal with his scope and that every family got photos with their phone. above and beyond!

★★★★★

All the reviews about Jason are accurate! He is a super five star tour guide. This is coming from somebody who doesn’t do tours at all but this one was absolutely worth it! It is true that if you just go on your own you will not see hardly anything. Jason‘s ability to spot the smallest of insects and the most beautiful of sloths was amazing! When he would point stuff out I would spend a minute or two trying to find it and even after looking through his amazing scope and seeing the animal, I still couldn’t see it with the naked eye. His English is amazing, and his humor is even better! You will truly enjoy him and the tour! He gives thorough details about where to park and meet, so you are well prepared to start your tour with great communication.

★★★★★

Our party consisted of an 81 year old handicapped person in a wheelchair, an 11 year old, a 19 year old and me, a 52 year old. Jason was fabulous, accommodating, inclusive, intelligent, and enthusiastic. This was our second tour with Jason (the first was without my mother) and he was outstanding again. We have had other tour guides in Manuel Antonio Park (we used different booking companies so we had different guides) and although the others were very good, Jason is a cut above. As soon as I post this, I am booking another tour with Jason for my 4 friends who will be joining me in Costa Rica this summer!

Jason is the most intelligent and knowledgeable person I’ve ever met, especially when it comes to nature in Costa Rica and birds! We cannot stop talking about how he knew every call of every bird and would be able to spot birds that were invisible to us. We will never forget the tour we did with him of Carara National park. He was so friendly and warm and patient with all our questions. Treated us like family. He is Genuinely excited about the work he does and cares deeply about the earth! We cannot say enough about how impressed we are with him and the service he provides! Unreal!!! He also sent us super high quality pictures and videos at the end of the day that he took with his iPhone through the scope. There’s nothing Jason doesn’t know when it comes to wild Costa Rica !

Jason was an incredible tour guide! He is extremely knowledgeable about the area, plants, and of course the animals! He was able to spot so many different animals. While watching other tour groups in the park, he seemed to be the most knowledgeable and to spot the most animals, often helping other guides. Aside from his knowledge, he was funny and kept the group entertained! I highly recommend using him as your guide.

I've met a lot of nature guides in my life, but Jason is just one and the best. We would never be able to see so many animals, even if we had the best binoculars. We even suspected him of having animals glued as a slide :-) He also gave as a lot of great advises and recommendations about our next journey. Very nice job and we feel shame now that we were arguing about the price :-)

Jason was a great guide ! My boyfriend and I did a bunch of research before going to Manuel Antonio National Park and decided to hire a guide. We were so glad we did, Jason helped spot multiple sloths (three toed, and two toed, including a baby sloth!), crazy bugs, lizards, birds, and of course monkeys (both howler and white faced capuchin monkeys). Out of all the animals the only one we would have been able to see ourselves would have been the white faced capuchin monkeys which are very outgoing. Jason also had a bunch of knowledge to share about the animals, bugs, and plants which was interesting to learn about during the tour. Extra bonus that I thought was great was that Jason set up a telescope for us to get a close-up view of all the animals and helped us take pictures through the telescope so that we could share everything with our family and friends back home! Seeing sloths in nature was truly special and there is no way we would have been able to spot them or enjoy their funny personalities from so far away without the help of Jason and his telescope!

★★★★★

Jason is personable, friendly, and a wonderful tour guide! For a very reasonable price, he gave a great tour of Manuel Antonio National Park. As a biologist myself, I can confirm that he has a wealth of knowledge about the nature of the park. I would definitely recommend his company to anyone wanting to learn more about the amazing ecosystems of Costa Rica! Jason es amable y un guía fantástico!

Um sicher zu gehen, muss man vorher das Parkticket kaufen. Der Park ist oft ausgebucht. Die Agentur Costa Rica Waköö Tours hat mir dennoch eine Tour verkauft, obwohl für alle einsehbar klar war, dass es keine Eintrittskarten mehr gibt. Ich war der Meinung, dass Tourenanbieter über ein besonderes Kontingent verfügen. Das ist nicht der Fall. Man hat Schwierigkeiten, dann sein Geld zurück zu bekommen. Nach den Bedingungen des Tourenanbieters müssen sie nicht zurückzahlen. Es gab bei mir ein unangenehmes Gespräch mit dem Chef des oben genannten Tourenanbieters, bevor ich mein Geld zurückbekommen habe. Er sagte wörtlich: Er müsse mal in die Bedingungen (das Kleingedruckte) schauen, ob er mir den Betrag zurück erstatten könne. Also Vorsicht.

Wakoo tours were very communicative before we arrived, and ensured that we had everything we needed to have a great day. It was lovely to be shown around Manuel Antonio park by Andrew, whose own passion for nature was infectious. There were several children in our group, too, and Andrew made sure that they had a good time and got to see all the creatures.

The whole team from Jason to Andrew our private tour guide was exceptional. Wakoo tours help us to have a smooth and wonderful experience. They coordinate parking to the entrance to the park. Andrew was very patient in answering questions especially from my 5 year old son. The whole tour was worth it and I highly recommend to book the tour from Jason and his crew

Jason is an amazing guide. He had great equipment and was an expert at spotting animals. Often he would be the first to spot an animal and he was willing to help other guides. He would very quickly set up the scope for us and helped with taking pictures through the scope. His English is excellent. He has the highest level of certification.

★★★★★

We had an amazing time on our tour! Jason was personable, funny and knowledgeable. He had such an eye for finding wildlife that we would have walked right past and helped me get some incredible pictures!!! I definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the park to enhance your experience.

★★★★★

Highlight of our 9 day trip. Jason was wonderful - very knowledgable and a lovely person too. We saw multiple sloths, monkeys and lots of other wildlife. With his “telescope” we could even see the color of a dragonfly’s eyes (bright blue). Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

★★★★★

We did both the Manuel Antonio and the mangrove kayak tour with Jeremy and we absolutely loved it! He showed us so many animals, answered all our questions and was really funny. 100% recommended!

Jason Solano was one of the best tour guides we have had in our few visits to Costa Rica. We were last there in July of 2018 for our honeymoon and had an amazing experience. His knowledge of bird calls, feeding areas for specific species, and his skills at finding all kinds of life in the open areas and dense cloud forest is unmatched. During our tour, he would assist other nearby viewers or other guides to see some of the rarer things that could change their experience entirely. I believe he did this because of his love for this forest and wanted to share the wonder and importance of the conservation of this area. This is one of the most magical places I have been and I plan to be back soon! A tip for your guided trip: Bring your own binoculars and your camera phone for the amazing shots he is able to get you so you can remember the beautiful diversity and life within the forests.

★★★★★

Jason was a excellent tour guide and very knowledgeable about the animals and history of the park. When I go back I will definitely book Jason and Costa Rica Wakoo Tours

Jason is an outstanding naturalist, with a great sense of humour, sensitivity, and knowledge. Thoroughly dependable. It is well worth paying for his brilliant tours. He lives and breathes nature.......

Three of us went on a private birding tour with Jason. We first went up to Esquipulas from Quepos and then back down south to the El Rey Marshes area. This was our second time birding in Costa Rica and our first time in the Quepos area. We birded for 7 hours and saw many new species: close to 90 overall including 32 new ones for us.Jason is an excellent guide: he knew all of the species we saw and heard; was great at picking out birds in confusing backgrounds at all heights and locations; helped us constantly see what was around; used his scope effectively and this included taking a number of videos with our iPhones; and obviously knew his way around the two areas. We appreciated his descriptions of the sometimes fine details that make the difference between one species and another. We stopped several times to get out and look for birds, on the way to our two destinations. He was indefatigable and was ready to keep going after a very full day, but we finally had to say "uncle." He is also a kick to be around and will not disappoint.

We were so pleased with our tour from Jason/Wakoo Tours. When we arrived at Manuel Antonio, we were leaning towards not using a guide. Thank goodness we ran into Jason at the entrance who showed us the value and offered us a great price. Probably the best guide we have ever had in any trip. If we had gone on our own, we probably wouldn't have seen anything but Jason's trained eyes found us so many animals!! We also learned a ton about the biodiversity and local history. The use of the scope was also so handy as it allowed us to leave with some awesome pictures and video we would not have otherwise gotten. Jason also gave us great tips for the rest of our trip, including helpful info about Corcovado National Park. If we ever return to Costa Rica we will not hesitate to use Wakoo Tours again.
