This experience combines ground transportation from San José with a boat ride to Isla del Caño, a biological reserve located off the Osa Peninsula, renowned for its crystal-clear waters, coral reefs, and abundant marine life.

From the Sierpe pier, you’ll sail across the South Pacific until you reach the protected area, where you’ll enjoy two snorkeling sessions at different spots around the island, accompanied by a certified guide and with equipment provided.

Depending on the day’s conditions, you may also visit the island’s lookout point and enjoy a picnic lunch on nearby beaches.

The Isla del Caño Biological Reserve is managed by SINAC, and access is regulated through authorized tours to protect its marine ecosystems and natural heritage.

This experience promotes responsible tourism practices through local partnerships, adherence to wildlife observation guidelines, and activities related to Costa Rica’s natural and cultural heritage.
