What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Manta or Guayaquil for June 15 to September 30, 2027, round trips of 3 to 6 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- Los Frailes beach in the park is the best on the mainland coast.
- Boats are small; go with a licensed operator from the pier.
- Manta's airport is about two hours north by road; from Guayaquil it is roughly four hours along the coast.
