In the Region
There are numerous agencies offering deep sea fishing excursions in the region. The competition seems to have driven the prices lower in Quepos than at the travel desk or in the lobby of the hotels near the entrance to Manuel Antonio.
Other activities available from your hotel desk or the tour kiosks in the area include day trips to Caño Island (snorkeling and scuba diving), white water rafting and kayaking (in the wet season only), surf kayaking, and canopy tours.
There is excellent mountain biking inland towards the mountaintop pueblo of Nápoles. Get someone (or hire a jeep taxi) to drive you up, then cruise down. We came in from San José by bicycle and only rode down this side, but can assure you that the ride up would be a tough one.
Half an hour south, Dominical is a surf hangout with a more laid-back, less commercial feel than Playa Jacó to the North.
Continuing south (35 miles, 58 km from Quepos) you'll reach the highly recommended Lodge at Rancho Merced National Wildlife refuge, and Marino Ballena National Park.
