Yes—dolphins and sea turtles are commonly spotted from the boat; in the park, guides frequently point out white‑faced monkeys, sloths, iguanas and diverse birdlife.
Snorkeling gear is provided on the catamaran, but you may prefer to bring your own mask for fit; wear reef‑safe sunscreen and avoid touching coral.
The tour welcomes most ages; shorter, flat sections of park trail are accessible, but some beach and trail areas have roots, steps or soft sand—check operator accessibility notes and request infant seats if needed.
Manuel Antonio transitioned from hunting grounds used by indigenous groups to a national park in 1972 as part of Costa Rica’s broader conservation push in the 20th century.
