About

Three trips anchor this operator: Corcovado National Park with guides like Carlos who spot tapirs, boas, and scarlet macaws; snorkeling 26 miles offshore at Caño Island among sharks and sea turtles; and coastal whale watching where crews coordinate across boats to track the animals. Guides such as Issa switch between several languages. Expect a full day, wet-footed boat boardings, and lunch included.

This was a great tour for our snorkeling trip. Alonzo, Henry and Jordan were amazing! The boat ride out to the island isn’t for everyone as it’s 26 miles off shore. I had 0 issues with it. We saw a lot of marine life and the shark was super cool to see! The meal at the end was very good too! Thanks so much! Pura Vida!

We had an excellent time touring Corcovado National Park with Carlos! We saw scarlet macaws, capuchins, spider monkeys, a squirrel monkey, toucans, a coati, wild turkeys, a tiger heron, a hawk, a crocodile, and so much more! The tour guides were knowledgeable and taught us about all the animals we saw. Corcovado is so lush with flora, fauna, and funga. And we got to see dolphins on the boat ride back to Playa Uvita! Word to the wise: -Be prepared to be walking in water to and from the boat. -Bring close-toed shoes for the hike to protect your feet from tiny venomous snakes. -If you have long hair, bring a hair tie. -Bring a refillable water bottle. -Eat breakfast before you come. No food is allowed on the tour until they feed everyone lunch in Corcovado just before heading back by boat to Uvita.

We had a GREAT tour on the boat. It was amazing how our tour guides found iguanas, boa snakes and other animals up in the trees. The best part of the trip was getting up close to watch the monkies playing around. They were so cute!! A couple of them even got on the front of the boat. I highly recommend this tour.
