Manuel Antonio is Costa Rica's most visited national park: white-sand coves backed by rain forest where sloths, capuchin and squirrel monkeys and hundreds of bird species are seen on almost every walk. The hillside road between Quepos town and the park entrance is lined with hotels, restaurants and sunset viewpoints over the Pacific.

Questions about shuttles to Manuel Antonio

How long is the shuttle from Liberia Airport to Manuel Antonio?
About 5 hours door to door, on the real roads, not the fastest time a map app shows. The shuttle is private and direct, so there are no stops to drop other passengers off.
How much does a private shuttle from Liberia Airport (LIR) to Manuel Antonio cost?
$380 per vehicle for up to 5 passengers, USD, 13% VAT included. Larger groups pay the 6–9 or 10–12 passenger price for the whole vehicle; both are in the table on this page. The price is the same any day or hour of the year and nothing is paid at pickup.
Where does the driver meet me for the ride to Manuel Antonio?
At Liberia Airport, just outside the arrivals doors with a Ruta Pacifico sign carrying your name; we follow your flight number, so a delay moves the pickup, never cancels it. From a hotel, beach or another town, the driver comes to the door of the property at the time you booked.
Can I get a shuttle from Manuel Antonio back to the airport or to another beach?
Yes. Every departure from Manuel Antonio we sell online is in the "Shuttles from Manuel Antonio" table above: the airports and the rest of the country. Airport drop-offs are timed so you check in about three hours before an international flight.
Do you have child seats for the trip to Manuel Antonio?
Yes, and they are free. Costa Rican law requires a car seat or booster for children under 12 or shorter than 1.45 m (4 ft 9 in), so tell us the ages when you book and the right seats are installed before pickup.
What is the cancellation policy for a Manuel Antonio shuttle?
Cancel more than 48 hours before pickup for a full refund minus the 13% tax. Within 48 hours the trip is non-refundable. Changes to the date, time or address are free up to 48 hours before, subject to availability.

About Manuel Antonio

Manuel Antonio is Costa Rica's most visited national park: white-sand coves backed by rain forest where sloths, capuchin and squirrel monkeys and hundreds of bird species are seen on almost every walk. The hillside road between Quepos town and the park entrance is lined with hotels, restaurants and sunset viewpoints over the Pacific.

It is a long haul from Guanacaste, but a classic combination for travellers finishing at San José Airport, and an easy 3-hour run from SJO itself.

Arriving in Manuel Antonio

From San José the drive is about 3 hours on Route 27 and the coastal highway through Jacó. From Liberia Airport or the Guanacaste beaches allow 5 to 5.5 hours; the road is paved the whole way with a lunch stop on the coast at Jacó or Parrita. From La Fortuna it is roughly 4.5 hours. Your driver takes you to your hotel door, even on the steep hillside streets where taxis hesitate.

Good to know before you go

  • The national park is closed on Tuesdays and limits daily visitors; buy tickets online in advance.
  • Hire a guide with a scope at the park entrance: you will see five times more wildlife.
  • Never leave food unattended on the beach; the monkeys and raccoons are professionals.
  • Quepos town, 15 minutes away, has the cheaper restaurants and the Saturday farmers' market.
