8 night Costs Rica itinerary - Thoughts?

In August my partner and I will be travelling to Costa Rica for 8 nights, we will fly in and out of San Jose and will be renting a car. Our main interests from the holiday include wildlife, hiking, beaches, nature and surf.

The current plan is:

- arrive into San Jose
- straight to La Fortuna (2 nights)
- Monteverde (2 nights)
- Manuel Antonio (4 nights)
- drive back to San Jose and leave the same day

Activities:

La Fortuna - Arenal Volcano National Park, La Fortuna waterfall, Hot Springs

Monteverde - Monteverde Cloud Forest national park, night wildlife walk

Manuel Antonio - Manuel Antonio National Park, relax on the beaches, mangrove kayak tour, potential day trip elsewhere in the car / explore / surf.

What do you think?
Is the day split ok?
Anything you recommend we do that’s not on the list?
Potential other places to visit instead?

Thanks all!
