Our tours
Caño Island Biological Reserve unquestionably stands out as the best place for snorkeling and scuba diving on the South Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. It is also ranked by many divers as the second-best place in our country for these activities.
The Caño Island Tour we offer starts at Sierpe, which is around 45 minutes to 1 hour from Uvita. We also offer this tour with Transfer from Uvita to Sierpe for $145 per person , picking up at 6:30 am.
The adventure begins with a departure from Sierpe at 8:00 am. On the way to the island, the boat passes through the mangrove forest of the Sierpe River, renowned as the largest in Costa Rica, for approximately 45 minutes. This provides opportunities to spot crocodiles, birds, monkeys, and other wildlife. Following that, we approach the open sea during about a 50-minute boat ride. On the way, you might find dolphins, sea turtles, and whales (July-October, December-March).
Upon arrival at Caño Island, the guide selects two snorkeling spots from the boat, each session lasting about 45 minutes (subject to weather conditions). In the clear waters surrounding Caño Island, you can observe coral reefs, fish, and diverse marine wildlife. Following snorkeling, the boat heads to a nearby beach to serve you a picnic lunch. Later, it returns to Sierpe, with an estimated arrival time around 4:00pm.
Please note: Caño Island is a biological reserve, so access to the island and its surrounding waters is carefully controlled to maintain sustainable levels of tourism and minimize human impact on the ecosystem. Limited slots are available for divers and snorkelers each day, so reservations tend to fill up quickly. Book now to ensure availability!
