Itinerary

Stop 1
Your private, certified naturalist guide will accompany you from the moment you're picked up at your hotel, offering insights about Costa Rica’s landscapes and wildlife along the scenic drive to Manuel Antonio. Upon arrival at the national park, your guide will lead you on a personalized nature walk through the rainforest, pointing out sloths, monkeys, iguanas, toucans, and more. After the guided walk, you’ll have free time to enjoy the park’s beautiful white-sand beaches.
-
Stop 2
After exploring the national park, enjoy approximately two hours of free time at Playa Espadilla Norte — a scenic public beach just outside the park entrance. You can relax on the soft sand, swim in the Pacific Ocean, or have lunch at one of the many local beachfront restaurants. Your guide will be available to assist or offer recommendations, but this portion of the tour is self-paced and perfect for unwinding before heading back to San José.
-
Stop 3
We'll make a quick stop at the famous Tárcoles Bridge to spot American crocodiles from above as they bask or swim in the river below. The Tárcoles River is home to one of the largest populations of American crocodiles in the world — some grow over 5 meters (16 feet) long!
