Why Choose This Experience?
Tour Description
Start your day exploring Manuel Antonio National Park, one of Costa Rica’s most famous wildlife destinations. During the guided walk, clients will explore tropical rainforest trails with a professional local guide, searching for monkeys, sloths, birds, iguanas, insects, and other wildlife that live inside this protected area.
After the guided experience, clients will have time to refresh and relax at Manuel Antonio Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches inside the national park. This first part of the day combines wildlife spotting, rainforest, easy walking trails, photography, and beach time.
After the national park visit, clients will enjoy a Costa Rican lunch or snacks before continuing with the afternoon ocean adventure.
In the afternoon, the experience continues with the Planet Dolphin Sunset Catamaran Cruise from Quepos. Clients will sail along the beautiful Manuel Antonio coastline, enjoying ocean views, lush green hills, and the chance to spot dolphins, sea turtles, seabirds, and other marine wildlife.
The catamaran anchors in the calm waters of Biesanz Bay, one of the most beautiful snorkeling spots in the area. With snorkeling gear provided, clients can explore warm turquoise waters and look for tropical fish and marine life beneath the surface.
After swimming or snorkeling, clients can relax on deck and enjoy fresh tropical fruit, pasta salad, grilled fish kabobs, and chilled beverages, including tropical juices, rum, vodka, and water. Beer is available for an additional cost.
The return to Quepos is one of the most beautiful parts of the experience, especially during the afternoon sunset cruise, when the Pacific sky often fills with unforgettable colors.
This full-day combo is perfect for clients who want to experience the best of Manuel Antonio in one day: rainforest, wildlife, beach time, Costa Rican flavors, snorkeling, ocean views, and a beautiful sunset cruise.
