Dantes Watersports

Explore one of Costa Rica's Most Wildlife Rich National Parks!

It offers everything people love about Costa Rica: spectacular beaches, calm turquoise water, lush rainforest and TONS of wildlife…

The iconic Manuel Antonio National park has impressive landscapes: white-sand beaches (Manuel Antonio, Espadilla Sur, Tesoro, Playita), incredible lookout points and lush jungle foliage amidst great mountains and forests that reach the beaches.

Known for its plethora of wildlife and beautiful beaches, the park is visited by a large number of national and international tourists.

At 1,983 hectares (7.7 square miles), Manuel Antonio is one of the smallest national parks in Costa Rica. But it protects an impressive range of biodiversity. There are over 100 mammal species including three monkey species, 2 species of sloth, Coatis, bats and more. Plus iguanas, frogs  and over 180 bird species, including the toucans, macaws, motmots, parakeets, falcons and tanagers. All this wildlife is drawn to the park’s lush rainforest, which you can explore via a series of well-maintained hiking trails. Join us on a private or a group tour. Contact us for more info.
