Snorkel with turtles and shoals of fish around Caño Island

Drake Bay, Costa Rica

Snorkel with turtles and shoals of fish around Caño Island
Unterwasser: Meeresschildkröte schwimmt, rechts Schnorchler mit Maske nähert sich.

Experience colourful shoals of fish and turtles at Caño Island, plus dolphins and relaxed hours on the beach.

What you can experience here

You set off early in the morning from the beach at Drake Bay and immediately leave everyday life behind. Even the boat trip to Isla del Caño is an experience, as humpback whales or Stenella often accompany your morning adventure. The protected area is considered one of the best places for underwater encounters on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast.

Around Caño Island a spectacular underwater world awaits you: two snorkelling sessions take you to different sections of the reef where you swim with green sea turtles, rays and colourful shoals of fish. Depending on visibility, whitetip reef sharks or manta rays may also glide through the water. Between sessions there are snacks and after snorkelling you can cool off on the white sands of San Josecito Beach, before a leisurely lunch rounds off the day.
