Discover the Wonders of Snorkeling at Caño Island Biological Reserve

Experience the breathtaking beauty of the underwater world with a snorkeling tour to Caño Island Biological Reserve. Located just 14 miles off the coast of Drake Bay in southern Pacific Costa Rica, this protected marine reserve is home to 600 acres of diverse marine life, coral reefs and rock formations. Whether you're a seasoned snorkeler or a beginner, this tour offers the opportunity to discover the wonders of this tropical paradise.

Embark on a Journey of Discovery

At Caño Island Biological Reserve, the turquoise waters are teeming with life, including sea turtles, sharks, stingrays, tropical fish and more. With over 15 species of coral and some of the most diverse underwater ecosystems in the world, this is a snorkeler's dream come true. During your snorkeling adventure, you'll have the chance to swim among schools of vibrant fish and marvel at the impressive rock formations.

See Endangered Wildlife Up Close

In addition to the amazing marine life, Caño Island is also a hub for critically endangered wildlife. During your snorkeling tour, you may have the chance to spot humpback whales, rough-toothed and spotted dolphins, and Bryde's whales. This is a rare opportunity to get up close to these magnificent creatures and appreciate their beauty and grace.

Please note that snorkeling at Caño Island Biological Reserve is an adventure activity and may involve certain risks. Participants should be in good physical condition and comfortable swimming in the open ocean.

Pacheco Enterprise S.A

The organization and booking from your side was fine but the experience itself was not good. Please see our google review: 

https://maps.app.goo.gl/6oxuKQJ5oZYJwCRi8?g_st=isi

Therefore, I give you 4 stars out of 5 because it is not your fault but security should be taken more serious than it was in our opinion. 

Cano Island - Diving

Le tour était très bien organisé. Personnel ponctuel et très avenant. Notre guide a été à l'écoute de nos demandes et était très investi. 

Corcovado Day Tour to Sirena Station (direct)

Sortie très bien encadrée, prise en charge au point de rendez-vous : parfaite. 
Guide passionné et une chance incroyable de voir 4 tapirs dans la même matinée. 
Repas très sympa à la station de la Sirena. 
J'aurais aimé que ça dure plus longtemps, pour découvrir l'autre côté du parc national Corcovado.

Our guide, Sandro, was very nice and very knowledgeable about the animals and plants.  He obviously loves his job sharing his knowledge with the people on the tour.  The tour was well organized.  Very enjoyable.  We highly recommend it.  

Sunset Lodge - Corcovado Day Tour to Sirena Station

Muy buena experiencia, tanto en el tour a Corcovado como en Isla del Caño. Personal profesional, cercano y atento. Recomendables!

Corcovado Sirena + Cano Island Snorkeling

This is a great tour company to book for visiting Corcovado National Park. The tour was so well organized and our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and plants in the forest. Highly recommended! 

Corcovado Drake Inn - Sirena Station Day Tour

We arranged our Corcovado NP one day tour with Pacheco Enterprise. They were quick to respond to our initial enquiry, and we can recommend this company. 

Was great! They really did everything to let us see whales (where looking all the time) and they respected the animals and didn’t go too close or stayed too long. They were amazing! Saw manta’s as well! 

Cano Island - Snorkeling (direct)

On march 16 we took a tour to Corcovado np. What an amazing experience that was. Thanks to our proffesional and very kind guide Manuel,  we saw tapirs up close and an anteater, among other things. But much more. The boattrip to the entrance was also well organised. Skilled captain on a Rouge sea.
The lunch we were served was tasty.
All in all, I can highly recommend Pacheco. We hope to come back again. Thank you for this amazing experience.  With special thanks to Manuel.

Corcovado Day Tour to Sirena Station (WEB)

We enjoyed our two day trip to Corcovado with Pacheco Tours!
Explanations were clear, communication via Whatsapp uncomplicated and pick up on time. The time we spent in the National Park was awesome! The guided walks brought us to many spots with good views, we saw lots of animals and plants. Our guide Marlon did a great job!
Food at the Ranger Station was good, the beds are really not that great, but we expected that we don‘t get a lot of sleep. We would book it again with Pacheco and we would definitely do the two day trip again rather than just a day (or half day) tour!

Sirena Overnight Deposit

We had a great time. We saw many animals and enjoyed truly exceptional nature. The guide was also very good, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Unfortunately, we are a bit disappointed about one important point. Our guide, Elbert, had a good camera and offered to take photos for us. We trusted him and therefore did not take pictures with our phones. However, despite several follow-ups on our part, he kept telling us he would send the photos, but he never did. Now, he no longer responds to our messages at all.

It’s really a shame, as this leaves a negative note on what was otherwise a very successful experience.

Erick was our guide and he was amazing!  We saw a tapir, lots of monkeys and even a crocodile and sloth. He took us to 2 rivers and some gorgeous beaches. The private tour was well worth it. Thanks so much Erick from the Gambaros!

Beth Gambaro - Private Guide for Sirena

Amazing adventure all around!  Would highly recommend . We mantarays sea turtles sharks and more ! 


JP was a fantastic guide. We saw sharks, a turtle, 4 Manta Rays, and many fish around fantastic reefs. The lunch debrief was a great time to talk about past adventures over a delicious meal. 

Go Corcovado - Cano Island - Diving

I had an amazing time and the guide did a fantastic job. 

It began at the port: We saw a big turtle and a manta In the sea.
Our guide Andreas picked us up gave his group of six an excellent safety advise and we had an awesome tour with a speed boat along the coast to La Sireana ranger station.
Andreas told us about the past and the today of Corcovado. He explained the biology und we saw many birds liike Quetzales and Tucans,, mammals like Sloths, Acuoities and Tapirs and many insects, ams etc. 
The lunch had several options and was very delicious. 
The boat tour back to  Puerto Jimenez was breathtaking at the beginning because the waves were high and the boat "jumped" through before it reached deep water.  

P.S: It was  not easy to enter the boat with dry clothes at La Sirena ( having closed  waterproof shoes and wearing only swimsuits would have been better ;-) ) .  

Corcovado Day Tour to Sirena Station from PJ

I did a night walk tour with Pacheco and it was really incredible. Our guide was an expert in finding a large variety of species and very knowledgeable. We found red-eye treefrogs, fer-de lance, eyelash pit viper, and a variety of arachnids and amphibians. It was a really great tour. I only wish i could've kept going after the 2 hours.

Night Walk

We were quite gutted that our guide did not seem very motivated, and most of our animal finds came from the group rather than the guide (they also forgot to bring their binoculars on a walk or give guidance to bring our flashlights, turned up 15 minutes after the meeting time etc.). However, when we mentioned this to Pacheco afterwards they did seem to genuinely take on our feedback and incorporate this into how they schedule their guides in the future so it does seem like we got unlucky rather than this being the general experience. Credit to them for that. 

We had a great day out with Alvero and Ian! They chose our snorkel spots based on the current and the tide and we saw many things. The highlights being dolphins, manta rays, turtles and many tropical fish! They also made sure our group was safe each time we entered and exited the boat. Pizza arranged for lunch afterwards was a bonus. Thank you Alberto and Ian, and Pacheco Tours, for a great day!

Belle expérience, guide intéressant 
nous avons vu beaucoup d'animaux

Excellente organisation, très belle expérience, guides passionnés
Le petit plus aurait été un guide parlant français 


The 2 days Corcovado tour was great . We saw a lot and had a very  enthousiastic guide. 

I love the entire experience! I love seeing the turtles, the ray and the shark and many fish!
I especially love the lunch. It was really delicious and a relaxing time!
I love the boat ride as well, and appreciated our guide and all of the effort that went in to make it a successful trip!

CGC & MH - Cano Island - Snorkeling

We had a great time to Corcovado! Although we didn’t see Tapirs, Anteaters, or pumas. William gave us a great trip!

CGC & MH - Corcovado Day Tour to Sirena Station

The boat transfer was quite delayed from the time we were told to arrive, but we did enjoy our stay.  Our guide was very knowledgeable and respectful of the animals we encountered.  He took and shared photos which we will cherish!  We appreciated the small groups and although it seemed in the beginning to be quite crowded, we didn't see the other groups much at all!

Sirena Overnight

Es war ein richtig toller Ausflug. Danke 

This tour and our Guide Erick made us as happy as ever! Great tour, every minute worth it. Excellent guide we feel very comfortable with. For sure the best 2 days in Costa Rica. Thanks for everything!

Loved this trip to Caño island. Our guide Alvaro was great fun and also very passionate about us seeing the wildlife in an ethical way which was perfect. We saw 3 beautiful turtles, manta rays, sharks and stunning fish and had breaks on the island and another beach. Would throughly recommend!

We had a great time! Christian was an amazing guide. He made sure everyone was safe, comfortable and well informed. Would recommend this tour and company to anyone. Thanks for a great day.

Sandro was one of the better tour guides of any experience type that we have experienced anywhere in the world. His knowledge and excitement towards all the flora and fauna after 15 years of guiding was so refreshing and enlightening. He made our day and we were also fortunate to spot many of the wonderful local species Corcovado had to offer.

My experience at the Reserve was mixed.

Boat transfer to the Reserve:
On the way there, there was some confusion regarding the allocation of groups and boats. We were initially told that our guide was Maria, but upon arrival, our guide was Luis.
The boat nearly capsized during a stop to pick up two additional passengers on another beach, and all the passengers had to disembark urgently to prevent the boat from overturning.

Hiking
Our guide, Luis, loves nature and animals but doesn't seem particularly interested in his clients. Whenever we stopped behind him to take a picture, he didn't even notice because he didn't turn around. I thought staying two days would allow for longer, more leisurely hikes, letting us see more and learn more about the local flora and fauna. I felt like I was going in circles.

Group
There was a young Canadian woman in the group who was always late. Our group was always the last to leave but the first to return. She talked constantly, seemingly uninterested, and would hand out her iPhone to take photos through the telescope. She was there to make friends, not to explore anything.
There was a group of older Americans with poor footwear who talked and laughed with her all the time. An Italian man was talking with the guide.

I spoke with a French couple who were in Maria's group, and they saw more.
I think it would be more beneficial to ask people what they expect from their stay at the Reserve in order to create more balanced and engaging groups.

Nights and meals at the Reserve:
Everything went well despite the crowds. The facilities were clean and the meals were plentiful.

Boat transfer back to Bahia Drake:
Our guide left before us, and we didn't know which boat to take.

The transfer went very well because we saw dolphins, and the guy on the boat made some short videos that he then shared with everyone. I thought that was really nice.

We had the best time with Carlos on the floating tour! He is a LEGEND!! Jose was solid on the Corcovado Tour but not such a Highlight as expected. 

The Floating Tour

We loved Corcovado walking tour from Drake Bay. The boat ride to Sirena was very exciting. Every boat captain very experienced. Sandro our jungle guide was highly knowledgeable, entertaining and had excellent skills in managing his group. What an outstanding guide. Thank you Sandro! Barb/Ray/diane  BC,Canada Feb 2026

A great tour to Corcovado with Pacheco Tours. Our guide, Elbert, was a brilliant naturalist who obviously loves his job! He found us toucans, sloths, baby anteaters and more. But the best was that he knew so much about the animal’s and bird’s behavior,  what a genius! We will do this tour again!

The whole trip was wonderful! On the boat ride to the park, we saw whales. The boat went near them so we could see them up close.  We were in a group of about ten with a guide. We saw animals frequently during the four hour hike.  The guide was excellent in locating the animals and providing us information about them.  He also has a telescope that allowed us to see them up close and take pictures.  We saw a wild boar, colorful birds, tapirs, a coati, and more.  While the walk was long, we stopped a lot and it was mostly level, so most people could do it.  We had a nice meal at the end.  Well worth it.  Definitely a trip of a lifetime!

Seaclusion House - Corcovado Day Tour to Sirena Station

It was a great experience staying overnight at Sirena Station. Two days of hiking, good food, and our guide Andrey did an excellent job. Communication was clear from the beginning, and there is no reason to pay more for other companies because all guides use the same trails and share information about where they have seen animals. They provided four meals, and it was cheaper as well. We saw lots of birds and animals and even the most desirable tapirs

We loved everything about this tour! Our guide Erik was super friendly and made sure everything was taken care of for us. Shared boat ride to the ranger station where we saw the sunrise, a few dolphins and a turtle. Once we got there we immediately saw a tapir walking along the shoreline. We checked in and were organized into our different groups. Guides worked alongside one another letting them know when they saw something of note. We saw so much wildlife including an ocelot, monkeys, a sloth, couple of anteaters, wild pigs, birds, and many other cool animals! Lunch was good and was a nice break to the day. Then we walked a little bit more before getting back on to the boat. I would highly recommend this tour company. Everything was great!

We had a wonderful family experience in Corcovado National Park, Siena station.
On the return trip, the crew diverted the boat to allow us to observe whales and dolphins.
Thank you for your warm welcome and your invaluable explanations about the flora and fauna.

Wow! Where to start. The guide who we got assigned (Ayder) was awesome. He knew so much about the wildlife and flora in Corcovado national park. From the first meeting he was clear in his communications. Besides the interesting things he told us, he was also just a fun person to walk and talk with.
On the tour itself we got very lucky to already see whales on the way there.
After the checkin at the park we went to the Sirena station and from there did a couple of hiking tours through the day
Our guide searched and looked around every corner. We saw a lot of animals, including monkeys, ants, snake, crocodile, anteaters and even a tapir. We could only close that off with a beautiful sunset. What a first day.
The second day we decided as a group to do a longer hike into the primary forest with very old trees Our guide explained more about the different flora there. 
After that we went on our way again. An awesome experience made perfect by our guide and organisation. Thank you!

Disclaimer: it's 'wild'life, so you never know what you'll be seeing on the tour. But I can guarantee at least that with this tour they will try everything to give you the best experience and search for as much wildlife as possible.

Wow, what an experience. Starting with the guides themselves. They were very enthusiastic and that definitely rubbed of on everyone. So a good start in the morning. 
Then on the way to Cano island we got the privilege of seeing spotted dolphins. After that we went for our first snorkeling with the guide. We saw turtles, lots of different fish species and a big school of fishes. Besides just snorkeling we got extensive explanations on all animals, so it was fun to not only search and look, but also to learn something about them. After a quick, provided, fruit snack and a break on a beach we went for the second round. There we saw more turtles, fishes and even a shark! That was it for the snorkeling of the day, another snack and beach break to go back to Drake Bay. Just a perfect morning made awesome by our guides who were always searching for the best spots with animals and good visibility.
A disclaimer: animals can't be controlled and visibility in the water neither. We got lucky with our day and there's a higher chance near this island for great views, but never a guarantee.

Our day tour to Corcovado National Park was amazing: we saw so many animals, above our expectations. We were amazed by what our tour guide Freiner was able to spot in the nature. He was also very kind, shared a lot of knowledge and helped us make some amazing photos. We fully recommend going with him. The lunch provided in Sirena station was good and overall the tour was very well organised and punctual.

Marlon is an amazing guide. You can tell he really cares about the nature and animals and he made sure to make it an unforgettable experience. We were first to see so many animals and he took the time to spot some we hadn’t seen yet that were harder to find. 

Super excursion. Notre guide était sympa. Il a pris du temps. Tout s'est bien déroulé. 

Quel séjour magnifique ! Le guide était extraordinaire, il a su nous faire voir plusieurs espèces d'animaux. Il a utilisé sa jumelle monoculaire pour prendre des photos avec nos cellulaires. Quels magnifiques souvenirs ! Nous avons mangé suffisamment. Nous aurions aimé que le jus soit disponible jusqu'à 14h30 avant notre départ pour la 2e randonnée. Pour la nuit, c'est bien organisé : douches (froides) disponibles en tout temps dans la journée, lits propres avec des moustiquaires.  

the guide met us as promised, was enthusiastic and very good at spotting wildlife - the highlight was a red eye tree frog. Boots and all equipment which was good quality was provided. At 2 hours long it was the perfect amount of time

It was well organised, I wished our guide would have taken more time for explanations insted walking quite fast. To be fair, I must say grace to that we saw a Tapier. 
The food was ok. The day after we had problem with digestion.....?
Over all it was absolutly worth it, thank your for this great experiance
