Departing from Drake Bay, this full-day snorkeling tour takes you into the crystal-clear waters of Caño Island — Costa Rica’s underwater paradise.
This isn’t just a snorkeling trip — it’s a marine safari. From playful dolphins to vibrant coral gardens, Caño Island offers unmatched biodiversity just off the Osa coast. With expert guides and high-quality gear, you’ll glide through warm Pacific waters, discovering a submerged world few ever see. A must-do for ocean lovers.
Snorkeling sessions are at a casual pace to allow time for observation and questions.
Our groups are limited to ten people + the guide, to ensure a personal and immersive experience.
If you’d rather have a private experience, you can request a private tour for an additional cost. Perfect for couples, families, or those who want a slower pace or more flexibility.
Corcovado has strict rules to protect wildlife and ecosystems.
Getting on/off the boats requires stepping into the water, sometimes knee-deep or higher.
Protect your electronics and sensitive belongings with a dry bag. Waves and boat movement may cause water splashes. Wear clothes that can get wet and dry quickly.
Caño Island is a tropical rainforest experience also — rain is part of the experience.
We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule tours if heavy rain or strong winds make it unsafe. Expect bumpy boat rides depending on the weather.
Expect flexible timing — this is real jungle, not Disneyland.
Tide levels, and wildlife activity can all affect the schedule. Boat rides may be longer or bumpier than expected. Just relax and enjoy the adventure.
Let us know in advance if anyone in your group has back problems or is pregnant.
We’ll do our best to assign appropriate boat seats and make your journey as comfortable as possible.
