Ethan, our prospective guest, notified me of their delayed arrival from Ojochal, estimating a 15-minute wait. Julian and Andrés, who arrived on time, were informed of the situation and we all waited together, extending almost 20 minutes past our scheduled start. Despite the delay, there wasn’t a hint of impatience or displeasure from them. The tour itself was a wildlife enthusiast’s dream, featuring a dazzling array of creatures. Toucans, deer, and sloths were the stars of today’s ‘wildlife show.’ Our adventure wrapped up at 2:40 PM on Beach 2. Notably, Manuel Antonio Beach was off-limits for the day due to a crocodile making its way through the waters—a reminder of the untamed essence of our beautiful park.
