Manuel Antonio National Park & Sunset Catamarán. (Private Tour from San José)

Experience the ultimate combination of Costa Rica’s breathtaking rainforest and majestic Pacific Ocean in a single, elite day trip. Your private expedition begins with an early departure from San José to maximize wildlife viewing. Led by a certified naturalist guide, you will first explore the legendary trails of Manuel Antonio National Park, a coastal sanctuary where pristine primary and secondary rainforests meet flawless white-sand beaches. Stand face-to-face with sloths, monkeys, and exotic birds before enjoying a light beachside refreshment.

The adventure transitions from land to sea as you step on board a luxury catamaran. After setting sail into the open waters of the Pacific, you will anchor in a secluded, protected bay for a technical snorkeling and non-motorized water sports circuit. As the afternoon unfolds, relax on the expansive bow trampolines with an unlimited open bar and a gourmet dinner prepared fresh on board. The grand finale of this premium day trip positions the vessel offshore for an unobstructed, panoramic view of Guanacaste and the Central Pacific’s world-renowned golden sunset.

• Premium Transportation: Private round-trip air-conditioned transfers from your hotel or residence in San José.
• Expert Instruction: Certified professional bilingual naturalist guide for the national park trek and an attentive licensed catamaran captain and maritime crew certified in water safety and rescue.

• Gourmet Dining: A hearty, traditional Costa Rican breakfast served in route, a tropical midday snack after the park trail hike, and a complete dinner paired with an unlimited open bar (spirits, beer, cocktails, juices) served on board the catamaran.
