When you’re on vacation, it’s easy to just want to sit around and relax. And we get it! The weather in Manuel Antonio is gorgeous, the beaches are pristine, and there’s plenty of great food to try. But you know what? Sometimes a rainy day is an excellent opportunity to explore Manuel Antonio and get out of your comfort zone.

Here are some fun things to do when it rains in Manuel Antonio:

Go for a Hike:

Hiking is one of the best ways to get out into nature when it rains, and Manuel Antonio National Park is home to some of the most beautiful hikes in Costa Rica. If you’re looking for something challenging or relaxing, there’s something here for everyone!

Go Snorkeling:

If you’re a beginner snorkeler or just want to try out the local marine life without getting too deep into it, Manuel Antonio has some great spots for that too! Just head over to Playa Espadilla and start exploring!

Visit the Beaches:

The beaches are one of the best things about Manuel Antonio—and they’re great even when it’s raining! Just because it’s not sunny doesn’t mean they aren’t worth visiting, so don’t let a little drizzle keep you from enjoying a day at the beach. We recommend heading to Playa Espadilla or Playa Tortuga, where there’s limited beach access and fewer crowds than other popular spots like Playa Manuel Antonio or Playa Bejuco. Plus, if you’re lucky enough to go during whale-watching season (August through October), you might spot whales migrating past as you enjoy the waves.

Visit a Waterfall:

There are lots of beautiful waterfalls in Costa Rica! If there’s one near your vacation property or resort, go check it out. Even if there isn’t one nearby, we bet we could find one nearby that would be perfect for a rainy-day adventure!

Go on a Canopy Tour:

There’s nothing quite as exhilarating as zipping through the air on a zip-line above an exotic jungle canopy. But when it rains? Even better! Enjoy views of waterfalls and wildlife while feeling like an aerialist yourself.
