You can do the park on your own, HOWEVER, you can book your guided tour in advance upon reservation and/or you can get one at the park main entrance. If you are just looking for landscapes and beach enjoyment you can do the visit on your own, IF YOU ARE REALLY LOOKING FOR A WILDLIFE ADVENTURE do not hesitate to hire your CERTIFIED GUIDE.
Having a guide will significantly enhance your enjoyment of the park though. They are adept at finding and showing you more of the creatures that you came here to see, will give you background on the park, they bring a HD spotting scope (through which you can take great pictures using your smartphone).
If you have a guided tour, you do have the option to stay longer when your tour has finished, and exploring more trails or beaches on your own. Then you can take the shuttle back to your hotel (make sure your hotel has this complimentary service available), otherwise, you can take the public bus as well as taxis outside the National Park.
PLEASE do not feed the animals, regardless of how cute and cuddly they may seem, this is something that makes them vulnerable to sickness and even death.
Take care of your belongings during your visit since the monkeys and raccoons can register and take your belongings most of the time when you are enjoying the beach and leave unattended your things.
Regarding selfies, the distance recommended is 3 metters (10 feet) from the animal, please do not get closer than this, getting closer will affect the animal behavior, they get stressful and may become agressive to humans.
