Manuel Antonio National Park, with its white-sand beaches and wildlife, is about 3 hours from SJO Airport along the modern Pacific highway. Apa Tours takes you door to door to your hotel in Manuel Antonio or Quepos.
The route
We take Route 27 toward Orotina and descend to the Pacific coast. The coastal road passes through Jacó and Parrita, among African palm plantations, with optional stops to see crocodiles on the Tárcoles River.
Private vs. shuttle
The private transfer saves you the multiple pickups of a shuttle and arrives direct, ideal for families who want to rest after their flight.
What to do
The park combines short trails with beaches inside the protected area; you will see monkeys, sloths and birds. Outside the park there are catamaran tours, mangrove kayaking and oceanfront dining.
