Come relax on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world on our secluded section of beach in Manuel Antonio where the scarlet macaws fly over head and monkeys leap from the trees. Conveniently located along the main stretch of beach, but tucked away enough to offer a little privacy from the busyness of the main section of beach further down. Please keep a couple of things in mind: Beach Vendors: Our beautiful setting is a public beach, which means you'll encounter various independent vendors. While we focus on providing top-notch water activities, we cannot regulate the vendors' presence or their offerings. Dining Recommendations: We often point guests to a convenient local spot for food and drinks. This is purely a recommendation for your comfort. Please be aware that Dante's Water Sports is not connected to the restaurant's ownership or pricing. To help you manage your budget, we strongly encourage you to review the menu and confirm all prices before placing your order.

Book with Dante!!
Dante is the best! My boyfriend and I were staying at a resort nearby and the property’s beach was under construction so they sent us to Dante for the day. Dante set us up in a quiet area with chairs and an umbrella. The beach was beautiful too! He checked in on us periodically ensuring that we had everything we needed. He even gave us a ride back to the resort so we didn’t have to wait around. We didn’t do any tours with him, but he definitely made our beach day a great one. He clearly genuinely cares about providing good service to visitors. Book your adventures with Dante!!

Dante's Watersports – Outstanding Manuel Antonio Experiences!
Dante's Watersports provided a FANTASTIC experience with their private Manuel Antonio National Park tour and Beach Day Experience! We did these activities on separate days, and both were absolutely amazing. From transportation to the activities themselves, the service was truly outstanding. Manuel Antonio National Park Tour 🐒🌿 The private park tour was incredible, and our guide was outstanding! They were extremely knowledgeable and had a keen eye for spotting wildlife that we definitely would have missed on our own. Our guide also helped us take some great pictures of the animals, which made the experience even more memorable. **If you're visiting Manuel Antonio National Park, I highly recommend hiring a guide!** You'll see so much more and learn a ton along the way. After the tour, Dante himself picked us up and took us to lunch. We requested a place serving a typical Costa Rican meal, and he recommended Mercadito Gastronómico. Dante mentioned that he eats there regularly because the food is good and inexpensive. He was absolutely right on both accounts! It was a great recommendation and a perfect way to wrap up our morning. Beach Day Experience 🏖️🌊 The Beach Day Experience was just as wonderful, offering a relaxing day by the ocean. We had lounge chairs and umbrellas in a separate section of the beach, away from the main public area, which made for a much less crowded and more enjoyable experience. Dante's staff was readily available to help with anything we needed or wanted to do. They also gave us a helpful heads-up that local vendors regularly walk along the beach selling their merchandise, advising us to simply say, "No, thank you," if approached. Surfboards and boogie boards were available for us to use, and my brother and I took full advantage of them! There was also a nearby restaurant and bar with staff who came by to offer food and drinks, making it easy to spend the day relaxing without having to go far for anything. Outstanding Service from Start to Finish! Dante personally handled our transportation from two different pickup locations for both experiences, making everything convenient for our family. His hospitality, local knowledge, and attention to detail really stood out. Both experiences exceeded our expectations, and the service from Dante and his team was exceptional. Whether you're looking for an informative wildlife tour or a relaxing beach day, Dante's Watersports delivers! Highly recommend Dante's Watersports to anyone visiting Manuel Antonio. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Perfect beach day
Amazing experience. Decided last minute to book because we had no plans, Dante confirmed the night before and scheduled a pickup time that worked for us! Dante arrived promptly, was so warm and friendly, and explained how everything would work on our ride to the beach. Once there Sebastian took us to our own seats with an umbrella and table. He had water and amazing fresh pineapple for us and set us up with a waiter at a nearby restaurant who brought drinks and food to us on the beach! They even pointed out some great wildlife nearby including a sloth and a tiger heron! Excellent time, great beach location, and a great experience provided by the gentlemen who worked with us!

Thank you for giving us that!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Beach Day Experience in Manuel Antonio: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quepos.
How much does Beach Day Experience in Manuel Antonio cost?
+
Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quepos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Beach Day Experience in Manuel Antonio take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quepos is not rushed.
Is Beach Day Experience in Manuel Antonio worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 109 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Quepos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Beach Day Experience in Manuel Antonio?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Beach Day Experience in Manuel Antonio suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Beach Day Experience in Manuel Antonio?
+
Around 38 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quepos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quepos and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Beach Day Experience in Manuel Antonio start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quepos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Quepos?
+
On Outty we rank every Quepos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full Day Waterfall Adventure, Manuel Antonio Canopy Tour - Longest Twin Zip Line in Central America, Manuel Antonio Park Tour and its Amazing Wildlife and Beaches. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Quepos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Quepos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Not included: Lunch; Photography services for additional fee; and Please Bring your own towel to sit on. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

What languages is Beach Day Experience in Manuel Antonio offered in?
+
