Explore the wild heart of Corcovado National Park on this one-day tour from Drake Bay to Sirena Station, one of the best areas in Costa Rica for rainforest and wildlife observation. The journey begins with a boat ride from Drake Bay along the remote Pacific coastline toward Sirena Beach, where the rainforest feels alive from the moment you arrive.
At Sirena Station, you’ll walk some of Corcovado’s most famous trails with a certified bilingual naturalist guide. The hike is done at a casual pace, giving you time to observe wildlife, ask questions, take photos, and learn how to read the forest through tracks, sounds, movement, behavior, and habitat clues.
After lunch and additional trail exploration, you return to Drake Bay by boat in the afternoon. This Corcovado one-day tour from Drake Bay includes boat transportation, park entrance, lunch, and a certified guide — ideal for travelers who want a deep rainforest experience without staying overnight inside the park.
Wildlife is wild — sightings can’t be guaranteed.
