Consider renting a car or hiring a private shuttle for the day to make the most of your time. The drive from Punterenas to Manuel Antonio takes approximately 1.5 hours. Entrance fees and parking at Manuel Antonio National Park are not included in the estimated costs.
If you have more time, consider adding a visit to the Damas Island Mangrove Estuary, surfing lessons at Jaco Beach, or a visit to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. If you have less time, consider skipping the zip-line tour and spending more time at Manuel Antonio National Park.
