Top 3 Off-The-Beaten-Path Things to Do Near Manuel Antonio

 With gorgeous beaches, lush rain forest and tons of wildlife, Manuel Antonio is without a doubt Costa Rica’s most recognized destination. Though part of Manuel Antonio’s charm is how convenient it is to almost all activities & tourist attractions, sometimes the small community can feel a little jam-packed, particularly throughout the peak travel season. Fortunately, there are numerous off-the-beaten-path things to do just a short drive from town where the tour companies pick you up right at your Villa or hotel. Here we have shared 3 day trips to explore the Manuel Antonio area off the tourist trail.

Waterfalls, Hiking & hanging bridges with Vacation Buggy:

Vacation Buggy is a private tour company for only groups and families that takes you deep into the rainforest to a private reserve with the largest hanging bridge at 400 feet, amazing waterfalls and a peaceful serenity that is only found in the jungle. Riding in a custom jeep limousine, this safari type open vehicle allows you to see nature at its best. Traveling through small towns seeing rural schools, churches and a real insight to the “real side” of Costa Rica. 

The reserve itself has beautiful groomed trails throughout with various animals that may cross your path.  The premises are within the primary rainforest which makes you feel like Jurassic Park. Being the most popular tour in Manuel Antonio, you will want to reserve this excursion way in advance as it books up very quickly.

Spice Farm Tour at Rainforest Spices:

Check out Rainforest Spices if you are interested in a food tour close to Quepos & Manuel Antonio. This working farm is located about ten miles outside of Quepos  where they cultivate a wide range of exotic fruits and spices. Vanilla & Ceylon cinnamon are their specialties, but they also grow turmeric, allspice, cocoa, black pepper, and much more. As part of this tour, you will stroll along a jungle path, learning more about how the diverse spices are cultivated. Afterward, you get an opportunity to savour them.

Playa Biesanz (Biesanz Beach):

Everybody who tours Manuel Antonio always visit the main beach, Playa Espadilla, but there is another lesser known spot that’s worth an outing. Playa Biesanz is a favourite beach among the locals as it is a very calm beach  which is great for kids but they also offer many activities such as kayaking, snorkeling or simply laying on the beach.  The best thing about this beach is that, while most of the Manuel Antonio beaches have rougher water, Playa Biesanz is blessed with tranquil water that’s ideal for swimming or any of the other activities available.

People who are on a luxury vacation, there are so many Rental Properties in Manuel Antonio to choose from. From private vacation rental homes to luxury estates, Manuel Antonio Luxury Rentals is dedicated to provide its clients with the finest vacation rental properties in Manuel Antonio along with personal concierge and vacation planning services.
