With 2 or 3 hours you'll have plenty of time to see it all. It's a small park with only 1 road (along the sea shore). Kindly note that it tends to get quite busy later in the morning as it's also a beach.

No we just went and he was standing at the entrance. You could always ask someone for him. Many of the guides were related. I think he had like 11 kids or something close to That.

You will see animals anytime. We were in the park all day and saw animals all day. But for the monkeys, when we saw the most, was from 12 to 14h.

Hello, with your timeframe of one day, I might just do a tour the ship likely offers you for transport?? IF not you can take the city bus, can be 1-2 hours each way... Then from bus terminal in Cahuita you can walk to the end of town to the donation entrance and then you will find some professional guides with credentials who are truly studied naturalists and animal lovers that can show you wildlife here that you would never see on your own! It was a casual walk with a laser pointer and believe me.. They know where to look for vipers ect..they are fun. Also, we did not go with a group just hired a guide for the 2 of us! We walked until we decided we wanted to swim. Think of the cool studied naturalist you help secure their job at the park! We made new friends by doing this with a guide saw so much and never will just grab at a branch in the jungle again once you see what is there. it was eye opening! haha!

In Cahuita National Park you could swim in Playa Blanca (1 km walk from entrance), but if you want less risky beach it will be Manzanillo, 30 minutes from Cahuita, 15 minutes from Puerto Viejo downtown.

Hola, en la entrada del parque hay una recepción donde están los guarda parques ellos te pueden ayudar con toda la información. Sí querés un guía el parque los tiene, te recomiendo ir directamente a recepción debido a que fuera del parque hay muchas personas que te van a preguntar que si querés guía y no trabajan para el parque, son particulares. Sí hay para practicar snorkeling pero eso lo tenés que hablar o contratar por separado, en Cahuita hay miles de lugares que ofrecen esos tours. Los senderos son un poco largos, depende de cual tomen y recuerden llevar repelente y zapatos cómodos e ir los más ligero posible, si el mismo día se quieren quedar en la playa lo pueden hacer pero nadar en ese mar en un poco peligroso, lo que la mayoría de turistas extranjeros hace es tomar la caminata y luego sentarse en la arena a ver el mar y comer un poco. Tomen en cuenta que la hora de cierre del parque es a las 4:00 pm. Espero que les haya ayudado la información.

There are no glass-bottom boats.

Dort kostet es keinen Eintritt. Man darf eine Spende geben. Wie hoch entscheidet jeder selbst. Aber es ist der beste Nationalpark in Costa Rica 🇨🇷

I am not sure. It such a nice park...you must go.
