Corcovado Tour, One Day Options

From Drake Bay, Puerto Jiménez, Sierpe, or Uvita

How does this section work?

Here we present you with one-day tour options from Drake Bay, Puerto Jimenez, Uvita, and Sierpe. Just keep scrolling down until you find the option you are looking for.

Important Information!

  • We do not have a booking engine because no company is allowed to have spaces stored to sell. We are entitled to 10 spaces, but we do not get them until we request the spaces with the information of the travelers. This means that the reservation will include your information and will be available only to you; once paid, it cannot be changed. Once we get the reservation, we have 24 hours to pay for the spots.
  • If your goal is clear when you email us, you can add the full name and passport number of each member of your group interested in going to Corcovado National Park. Otherwise, you can ask for more information by emailing us or a WhatsApp message.
  • Your information will exclusively be used for booking purposes, make sure it is the right one because they double-check at the entrance of the station, if the information does not match, you will be sent back, losing your money.
  • Corcovado National Park takes wildlife conservation very seriously. Therefore, the spaces are limited. It is common to see the park getting fully booked many months in advance, so we recommend trying to book with all the time in advance you can.

  • Private boat; boats are shared, and therefore we must respect the departure times. We can also make the boat service private for an extra cost.
  • Pick up from your hotel; we do not include hotel pick-up. We depart from the main beach and bring you back to the same place. If your hotel is on the way from Drake Bay to Corcovado National Park, we can pick you up from the nearest suitable beach for a water landing, and you will be dropped off at the same spot on the way back.

  • We are located in the Tropical Rain Forest, it is quite normal to have some rain, so we are the ones deciding when a tour must be canceled because of rain or strong winds.
  • The timings might not be accurate since we are working in the wild and the weather conditions change, affecting the speed of the boat or the Colectivo service in case you are doing part of the tour on land. The weather conditions can not only impact the timing but how the boat behaves, the boat ride might get very bumpy too. In the case of the Colectivo, the road is not paved, so expect some rivers and holes in the road. 
  • The weather can also modify the timings during the walks.
  • Mention when booking if there is someone in the group who is pregnant to give them a seat in the back of the boat (even if you are booking a trip by car).

There are six feline species in Costa Rica, and Corcovado reports four of them so far, however, a cat sight is a rare event, and the ones that are occasionally seen are pumas, and ocelots are seen in fewer opportunities.

With all this, it is extremely necessary to mention that wildlife is unpredictable and that we do not guarantee any specific sighting.

  • You must walk with your guide all the time (the guide walks first in line).
  • If you consider you will be making long stops, we strongly recommend getting a private tour, the idea of a group tour is to enjoy, and waiting for one person several times during the walk can ruin the whole experience for the group.
  • To get on the boat, we must get to the knees in the water, sometimes a bit higher, and the ocean can get sometimes agitated and splashes of water can get into the boat, you must protect your electronics and other belongings all the time.
  • We are located in the Tropical Rain Forest, it is quite normal to have some rain, so we are the ones deciding when a tour must be canceled because of rain or strong winds.
  • The timings might not be accurate since we are working in the wild and the weather conditions change, affecting the speed of the boat or the Colectivo service in case you are doing part of the tour on land. The weather conditions can not only impact the timing but how the boat behaves, the boat ride might get very bumpy too. In the case of the Colectivo, the road is not paved, so expect some rivers and holes in the road. 
  • The weather can also modify the timings during the walks.
  • Mention when booking if there is someone in the group who is pregnant to give them a seat in the back of the boat (even if you are booking a trip by car).
  • Mention when booking if anyone in the group has back problems to give them a seat at the back of the boat (even if you are booking a trip by car).

A Corcovado Tour from Uvita is focused on wildlife observation, photography, and information about the flora and fauna of the area. Part of this tour is done in the ocean, home to several species of dolphin and seasonal whales. The beautiful coastline is part of the tour and seabirds.

San Pedrillo is one of the stations with more wildlife in Corcovado National Park, and therefore we have chances to see tapirs, one species of wild pig, one species of deer, several species of rodents, two species of anteater, three species of monkey, caimans, crocodiles, birds, reptiles, and arthropods.

There are six feline species in Costa Rica, and Corcovado reports four of them so far, however, a cat sight is a rare event, and the ones that are occasionally seen are pumas, and ocelots are seen in fewer opportunities.

With all this, it is extremely necessary to mention that wildlife is unpredictable and that we do not guarantee any specific sighting.
