The Experience
What your day looks like
Your day begins early (approx. 7:15 AM) to catch the calmest ocean waters. We pick you up and head to a secluded bay for a safety briefing and paddle instruction. Even if you've never paddle boarded before, our guides will have you standing and cruising in minutes. We embark on a relaxed 40-minute coastal paddle, just the right amount of time to enjoy the morning ocean breeze and spot marine birds without exhausting yourself. After the paddle, we trade the boards for our adventure van and head south. The vibe shifts from 'Zen Ocean' to 'Jungle Adrenaline.' We visit our favorite local waterfalls to wash off the salt in pristine fresh water. You’ll slide down natural rock chutes, swim in river pools, and enjoy a locally sourced Costa Rican lunch. It is a long, active day, but it delivers the two best experiences Manuel Antonio has to offer in a single package.

This was our favorite tour we took in our week long stay! You start out on the paddle boards. The guides take you to this awesome cove and the water is absolutely gorgeous. It's cool to see the cliff side right there next to you. You are given time to swim around a bit and enjoy the views. Next we were whisked away to our first in a series of awesome waterfalls. Overall, we saw 4. You are given time to swim around, take some pictures and hang out. We never felt rushed; the cadence was set perfectly for a rather busy day. Lunch was delicious! You get to stop at a Tilapia farm and they are prepared fresh! If you don't like fish, they have other options that are just as delicious. The day was capped off by a visit to Dominical, a little surf town, where we had an ice cold beer, or coconut water:), and watched a bit of the sunset. Guides were enthusiastic and knowledgeable. A very memorable experience!
