3 days, San José to San José
Itinerary
Day 1San José/Quepos
Meet your fellow travellers and CEO at an 8am briefing before departing San Jose by bus to Quepos, just outside of Manuel Antonio National Park. After checking into the hotel, enjoy a free afternoon relaxing or head to one of the nearby beaches for some sun and surf.
The small town of Quepos is on the Pacific Coast and this region of Costa Rica is a great place to relax and enjoy the sun and nearby sea. A short distance away, Manuel Antonio National Park offers beautiful white-sand beaches and warm turquoise water, ideal for swimming, fishing, kayaking, boogie boarding, sailing or surfing.
Please note that the first day of this tour is a travel day and involves an early departure from San Jose, so arriving on time to your start location is important to being able to join the tour for the day's journey. We recommend booking a pre-tour accommodation in San Jose if not otherwise completing another G Adventures tour that finishes on the same day.
