My husband and I took the Rainmaker tour with Mario Brenes. What a fantastic guide. He was incredibly knowledgable and wanted to share as much information as he could. He made all the difference in our tour through the rainforest and we were amazed at the things he was able to spot for us. He must have eagle eyes! Mario... More

This was a great experience. We were staying about a 20 minute ride from Manuel Antonio park and wanted to check it out spur of the moment one morning. We called these guys up and they accommodated us even with no heads up. Within the hour they were at our hotel property picking us up and transporting us to the... More

Mario was knowledgeable and had an amazing skill of being able to call the monkeys. It was very neat to watch them come down and was one of the highlights of the tour. It is clear that he is passionate with what he does. The park got a little crowded, so would highly recommend that you start early in the... More

My husband and I went to Manuel Antonio National Park during the day without a tour guide. We were pretty disappointed in the lack of wildlife. We enjoyed our hike and the beach, but wouldn't recommend the park if you're wanting to see a lot of animals. Even the guides said that the park is not the best place for... More

Mario is very knowledgeable about the park, he will literally find every animal you want to see. Sometimes I couldn't see what he was talking about and then he let everyone in the group use his scope to get a closer look to show you what he saw with the naked eye. Its unbelievable! He also helped us get some... More

Mario was a fantastic tour guide - incredibly passionate and knowledgeable. We were fortunate to see a really diverse array of wildlife during the day, which I am certain we would have missed if we had opted to do this without him. His understanding of the local flora and fauna really brought the trip to life (excuse the pun!). Furthermore... More

This guy knows his stuff! Sandra and I did two tours with Mario and both were great, but we loved the Rainmaker night tour. It exceeded our expectations and the guide made all the difference. If you want someone with more knowledge, offers better communication, has a great personality, is a passionate conservationist and who goes the extra mile (both... More

We did two tours with Mario - the Manuel Antonio morning tour and the night time Rainmaker Tour. Both tours were excellent - but the night time tour was truly unique and the favorite of our family. If you are in Quepos areas for 3-4 days - do both tours. Manuel Antonio Tour: Manuel Antonio is a busy place, so... More

I went on two tours with Mario and his partner while I was in Manuel Antonio, one of the Park and one in the Mangrove. Both were spectacular, he has such passion about the nature of Costa Rica, that it makes these tours so enjoyable.
