    Cool tapir and forest- worth the early start

    Wild and lovely tour despite the rain ( rainy season trip)- I think would be much nice ( but busier) on the dry season. David was excellent guide and very knowledgeable about rapids, tropical forest, mangroves and Corcovado park generally. We saw roots allowing communication between tallest trees , a tapir feeding on wild plums, monkeys, turkeys, tiger herons, tiger crabs, other birds and interesting plants. No pumas, good reason to return ! David was very sensitive to my request to not wet my shoes ( hard as heavy rain ) as I left Costa Rica next day- and helped me when I slipped on a rock and fell back. The entire crew was lovely and caring and drove the boat slower to avoid bumping my back too much. Very good lunch I definitely want to come back and trek more on Corcovado, such big park can easily spend 4-5 days and still have things to see . Would recommend David and this company who arranged comfortable / timely transfer from Manuel Antonio. Gracias

    Response from the operator: Hola Ioana, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We are thrilled to hear that, despite the rainy season, you enjoyed the tour and had the chance to see all the biodiversity. It makes us very happy to know that David’s guidance and attentiveness, as well as the care of the entire crew, contributed to making your adventure in Corcovado safe and memorable. We’re also glad that the lunch, the transfers from Manuel Antonio, and the overall experience met your expectations. We would be delighted to welcome you back for a longer trek in Corcovado, as you mentioned — the park has so much to offer over several days! Thank you for recommending us, and we look forward to seeing you again for another incredible adventure in Costa Rica! ¡Pura Vida! Costa Rica Te Enamora Team

    Very expensive tour not...

    Very expensive tour not organized correctly.We picked up a guide on the road and actually the guide was not with us during the day and went to another trip.We join another guide on the boat in Sierpe with 10 other people.We didn't see any animals in our group and all the others groups on the boat saw plenty animals like pumas so our guide was not good.Then when we came back we had to wait for the other guide that we picked up on the road the morning to come back from his tour....we said to the guide our day was bad and we didn't see anything and the guide was just showing us how amazing was his trip seeing tapirs etc...which was a bit inappropriate as we didn't see anything on our tour and we made us even more sad and frustrated.

    A great trip!

    A real adventure. Water taxi was ‘a bit choppy’ but calmer on return. Very organised with driver arriving promptly. All the staff really helpful and professional and our guide Eduardo was very knowledgable and helpful. Be prepared for a soaking if there is a thunderstorm but you dry quickly. We saw loads of monkeys and just missed a puma. Lunch was delicious. A long day but a great trip

    One Day Tour To Corcovado From Manuel Antonio: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quepos.

    How much does One Day Tour To Corcovado From Manuel Antonio cost?

    +

    Prices start at $289 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 One Day Tour To Corcovado From Manuel Antonio take?

    +

    Plan for about 11 hours 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 One Day Tour To Corcovado From Manuel Antonio worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Quepos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule One Day Tour To Corcovado From Manuel Antonio?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is One Day Tour To Corcovado From Manuel Antonio suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book One Day Tour To Corcovado From Manuel Antonio?

    +

    Around 5 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does One Day Tour To Corcovado From 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.

    What is included in One Day Tour To Corcovado From Manuel Antonio?

    +

    Included: Transport Manuel Antonio - Sierpe - Manuel Antonio; Lunch; Transport by boat; Picnic Lunch; and Insurance. Not included: Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does One Day Tour To Corcovado From Manuel Antonio include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is One Day Tour To Corcovado From Manuel Antonio offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for One Day Tour To Corcovado From Manuel Antonio?

    +

    Is One Day Tour To Corcovado From Manuel Antonio wheelchair or stroller accessible?
