The morning light hits the Pacific and the jet skis hum to life — salt spray in the air, a small fleet lined up against a horizon of green hills and rocky islets. Riders push off from Marina Pez Vela and the ocean immediately takes center stage: cliffs and forested ridges of Manuel Antonio slide past while seabirds wheel around offshore boulders that host noisy colonies.

Manuel Antonio National Park, created in the 1970s, is one of Costa Rica’s smallest yet most visited protected areas; seen from the water its mix of rainforest, granite outcrops, and small sandy coves reads like a study in coastal geology and tropical ecology. Local guides point out the big stones off Espadilla Beach where frigatebirds and pelicans roost, and explain how rivers once carved the headlands you now skim past.
Expect a guided, 4‑hour loop along the coastline with bilingual instruction, hotel transport, and brief stops near Playa Manuel Antonio and Marina Pez Vela. Sea conditions can shift — currents and surf push and pull, so guides set a pace that balances adrenaline with safety.
Practical tips: bring reef‑safe sunscreen, a secure waterproof bag for electronics, and hydration. Sandals are fine but a good strap keeps feet from slipping when mounting. Morning departures avoid the midday winds and offer calmer water and cleaner visibility for wildlife viewing. Above all, respect wildlife viewing distances and follow your guide’s commands — the ocean here is generous but always in charge.

Manuel Antonio National Park was established in the early 1970s and became a focal point for Costa Rica’s conservation and ecotourism efforts despite its small size.
High visitor numbers put pressure on local habitats; maintain distance from wildlife, avoid littering, and choose operators that follow reef‑safe and low‑impact practices.
