Step inside one of the world's most biodiverse national parks with a dedicated naturalist guide. Spot sloths, scarlet macaws, white-faced capuchins, and poison-dart frogs at an unhurried, luxurious pace — then cool off on a postcard-perfect beach inside the park.
What to expect
Your SINAC-certified guide meets you at the gate and immediately starts spotting wildlife that most visitors walk straight past — a sloth camouflaged in a cecropia tree, a Jesus lizard sprinting across the trail. You'll traverse shaded jungle paths that open dramatically onto turquoise Playa Manuel Antonio, one of the most beautiful beaches in Central America. The guide explains the park's ecosystems, from tropical dry forest to mangrove fringes, weaving in fascinating ecology and conservation stories. With only 800 daily visitors admitted, the park retains a genuinely wild atmosphere.
Good to know
Tickets sell out weeks in advance — book online at sinac.go.cr the moment your itinerary is confirmed. The park is approximately 20 minutes from the Quepos port by taxi or private transfer. Allow 3–4 hours inside. All-aboard times are typically late afternoon, leaving plenty of time.
