What guests say
We had a fantastic experience at Sukia Park in Manuel Antonio. Sebastian was an excellent guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the wildlife. He took the time to help us spot monkeys, taking some great photos and we saw beautiful butterflies in their butterfly garden while he explained their life cycle in an engaging way. We also saw caimans and crocodiles, which was a real highlight. The tour was well-paced and never felt rushed. The lunch at the café was delicious, and the included transport to and from our hotel was really appreciated and made everything so easy. Highly recommend—thank you, Sebastian, for such a memorable day!
The zip line tour was so much fun. The guides were friendly and attentive. Felt safe and secure the whole time. Beautiful views and lush jungle. Zipline reservation includes butterfly garden and crocodile rescue. The guides take lots of great pics and send them to you the same day, so no need to reach for your phone. Bonus: saw leaf-cutter ants and a sloth. 🦥
We actually met our guide Juan E. on his day off while birding at Rainmaker, and he told us about Sukia Park. We immediately booked tickets and the next night had a really nice night walk in the middle of Manuel Antonio where we saw howler monkeys, several species of frogs, reptiles, scorpions, insects, and spiders. We had a night-time tour of the butterfly house to see the sleeping beauties, and Juan also identified several birds by their calls during our walk. He is just a wonderful & curious person who loves to share his passion for wildlife (especially herps) with others. Highly recommend Sukia Park! And ask for Juan! :)
