Things to Do
Our Resident Naturalist Guides We want you to experience the best of Manuel Antonio — that’s why we’re the only resort in Manuel Antonio to offer you in-house Naturalist Guides. Teresa and Mauricio are always at the ready to help you spot monkeys, sloths and other rainforest creatures right here at the resort.
And when it’s time to venture out to Manuel Antonio National Park and beyond, we’ll host you too. We host every single tour ourselves. This means you can always expect small, private groups, personalized tours, all the time you need, and an intimate interpretation of the wildlife you’ll see.
Wildlife at the Resort Arenas Del Mar is a wildlife lover’s dream. Simply one of the best hotels for wildlife-spotting. From sloths and monkeys to toucans, anteaters, iguanas and crabs, there’s so much to spot right here. Our land acts as a biological corridor for the abundant wildlife of the Manuel Antonio area, meaning there’s seldom a day without some kind of major wildlife action.
Ocean Tours In Manuel Antonio, our tropical waters play host to all kinds of ocean tours, from the adrenaline-fuelled to the soul-inspiring. Think surfing against the backdrop of a fiery sunset. Kayaking through unexplored mangroves. Humpback whale watching amongst multiple other extraordinary excursions.
People + Planet
Nature conservation has been an integral part of our sustainable philosophy since day one. Learn how we approach our natural surroundings and environment.
Twice a month, many of our staff members volunteer to clean up and maintain one of the principal nature trails at Manuel Antonio National Park.
In designing and building Arenas Del Mar, nature conservation has always been front of mind. A very limited number of trees were cut down during the construction process, and since then, 7,000 more have been planted.
