Caño Island Biological Reserve offers the best snorkeling experience in Costa Rica. The waters here are filled with abundant marine life: turtles, dolphins, rays, sharks, eels, hundreds of fish, coral, sponges, and a wide variety of mollusks and arthropods. When in season you could even encounter humpback whales and whale sharks.
We depart from Drake Bay, the boat takes you on a 35-minute ride to the island where you can snorkel and explore two different marine areas. Each snorkeling session lasts around 45 minutes.
Between the first and second snorkeling session, we go down to the island, to rest for 30 to 40 minutes, there are bathrooms here and there's a short trail that takes up to a lookout.
After you've had the snorkeling experience of a lifetime, we head back to the mainland. Depending on the season and the weather conditions we might have picnic-style lunch at San Josecito beach, or we'll head back to town where a transport will take us to La Jungla restaurant.
All packages include a shared guide, if you want a private guide for your group, you must request it directly to our email.
