Manuel Antonio Land Touring

Costa Rica

Considered to be the Jewel of the National Parks within Costa Rica, the white sand beaches slope gently into the calm, crystal clear water of the Pacific. In the Park, you can observe some of the rarest and most fascinating animal life in the world or enjoy a number of exciting optional tours.

Optional Tours in Manuel Antonio include:

Naranjo River Whitewater Rafting

A class III/IV half day challenge for more experienced paddlers, this river drops steeply from the mountains above Quepos, through a beautiful jungle gorge and takes you on a wild ride to sea level by farmlands and palm plantations. Water levels can rise quickly, increasing the difficulty of the rapids, so rafters should be physically fit and adventurous.

Scuba Diving

Now you can enjoy all the amenities and fine dining of the beautiful resort towns of Quepos and Manuel Antonio and at the same time, experience the fantastic underwater world of the Pacific Ocean. We offer one, two or three tank dive trips on a daily basis and night dives conditions permitting. Because of the high nutrient content of the water, the abundance and variety of marine life off the coast of Quepos and Manuel Antonio is impressive. See Humpback Whales, Dolphins, Reef Sharks, Giant Manta Rays, Sting Rays, Octopus, Turtles, Groupers, Angels, Moorish Idols, Trumpet fish, Eels, huge schools of Barracuda, Jacks, Grunts, and much more.

Savegre River Whitewater Rafting

This full-day adventure kicks off with a 4-wheel drive trip into the remote valley that is home to the Rio Savegre. Perfect for all experience levels, the river offers an exciting selection of class II, III, and IV rapids as well as pristine waterfalls, swimming holes, and a remarkable variety of birds including egrets, toucans, osprey and parrots.

Damas Island Kayak

Paddle the smooth protected inland waterways and explore the unique ecosystem of an island mangrove which is abundant with wildlife.

Manuel Antonio Coastal Paddle

This is a more challenging open ocean paddle along the rugged coastline from Quepos to the Manuel Antonio National Park. Paddle by islands that are nesting sites for unique coastal birdlife including boobies and frigatebirds, visit the secluded Biesanz Bay and surf kayak at Espadilla beach. A 'Tico' style lunch is hosted.

Savegre Ranch - Horsebackriding

Here is the ride that you've all been waiting for. Let your horse run free on the beach and into the ocean, cross a river where the horse actually gets to swim, visit a working cattle farm and ride through local rice and African Palm Oil plantations. An exciting day filled with memories.
