Manuel Antonio National Park Visit – Manuel Antonio (approx. 5h)
Pack your sunscreen, snack, and beach shoes and prepare for a great day in Costa Rica’s smallest, yet stunning, national park. Manuel Antonio offers four white-sand beaches separated by jagged rock outcrops and tidal pools where you can swim, snorkel, and sunbathe.
When you’re ready for shade, head to the nearby hiking trails to search for sloths, monkeys, and armadillos. Climb to the lookout to capture views of the pristine Pacific Ocean and the area’s offshore islands. Today's walking distance within the park is about 3km and will take about 2–3 hours alongside a local guide.
Optional activities
- Horseback Riding – Manuel Antonio
Trail ride through the tropical forest and rivers and across the area’s beautiful landscape. Look for toucans in the trees and admire the ocean views. End your horseback journey with the opportunity to swim under a beautiful waterfall. - Kayaking– Manuel Antonio National Park
Choose to kayak the calm waters of the mangroves or paddle the waves of the Pacific. In the Damas Island estuary, the ocean meets freshwater rivers and creates a protected home for birds, snakes, crocodiles, and white-faced monkeys. Alternatively, opt for an open-seat ocean kayak and paddle along the shoreline and nearby islands, keeping an eye out for frigates, boobies, and jumping fish. Minimum age: 6–8 depending on tour type. - Surfing – Manuel Antonio National Park
Experience the surf at the beaches near Quepos and Manuel Antonio with their well-shaped beach breaks. Take a lesson, learn tips and techniques, then hang ten like a local.
