Day 1 – Arrival in Drake Bay

Your adventure begins with a warm welcome in Drake Bay, the gateway to the Osa Peninsula. You can arrive on a domestic flight or by boat from Sierpe, crossing mangroves to the Pacific coast. Our team will welcome you and transfer you to the hotel.

In the afternoon, you'll take a gentle birdwatching walk: scarlet macaws, toucans, tanagers and herons fill the forest with color. At sunset, a stroll along pristine beaches where the jungle meets the ocean — a perfect introduction to one of the most biodiverse places on the planet.
Meals included: Dinner

Day 2 – Sierpe mangroves and night tour

Explore by boat the mangroves of the Sierpe River, one of the most extensive in Central America. You'll navigate among imposing roots and dense vegetation, in an ecosystem full of life.

You'll be able to observe species such as the mangrove hummingbird and the tiger heron, as well as egrets, kingfishers and crocodiles along the banks.

At night, a jungle tour in search of snakes, frogs and insects with an expert guide — ideal for macro photography.

Meals included: Breakfast and dinner

Day 3 – Corcovado National Park and Sirena Station

Boat trip into the heart of Corcovado, considered Costa Rica's natural jewel. En route, it's possible to spot humpback whales, dolphins and seabirds.

Arrival at the remote Sirena Station, deep in the tropical rainforest, where a true immersion into the wild begins.
Meals included: Breakfast, lunch and dinner

Day 4 – Corcovado and return to Drake

Explore the Sirena trails with a naturalist guide. Highlights include Baird's tapirs, as well as sloths, anteaters, monkeys, crocodiles and a great diversity of birds. With luck, signs of puma or jaguar.

Return by boat to Drake Bay at midday, with possible whale sightings along the way.

Day 5 – Snorkeling at Caño Island

Excursion to this marine reserve, famous for its crystal-clear waters. While snorkeling you can observe reef fish, sea turtles, rays and reef sharks. Diving is available for certified divers.

Day 6 – Farewell to Drake Bay

After days immersed in the wonders of the Osa Peninsula, it's time to say goodbye or continue your adventure in Costa Rica at another destination. Depending on your plans, you can return by boat through the Sierpe River mangroves to connect with your rental car or your next transfer, or take a short domestic flight from the Drake Bay airstrip to San José or another destination.
