Explore one of the most biologically rich places on Earth for biodiversity with the Corcovado National Park Day Tour on the Osa Peninsula.
We start early, take a boat ride to Corcovado, and with our guide, venture into the park to visit the Sirena Biological Station and discover the amazing wildlife that lives there. You might even spot the tapir, the park’s most famous resident! After a full morning of exploring, we’ll head back to Drake Bay for a beachside lunch.

What to expect
Drake Bay
2h
At 5:45 a.m., your guide will be waiting for you at the meeting spot in Drake Bay (Agujitas de Drake). Once the whole group is together, we’ll leave at 6:00 a.m. and head to Corcovado National Park. The boat ride takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Howlanders’ Tip:
If you tend to get seasick, it’s best to sit at the back of the boat and consider taking medication to prevent it if needed. Also, sitting on the left side gives you a great view of the coastline.
By 8:00 a.m., we’ll be inside the park, just in time to see the animals when they’re most active early in the morning!
Sirena Ranger Station
4h · Admission ticket included
Gradually, we’ll enter the park, starting through the secondary forest area until we reach the Sirena Biological Station, where the Park Rangers and travelers on the Corcovado 2-Day Tour stay. We’ll take a short break to hydrate and check in as visitors before continuing deeper into the park.
Corcovado National Park
2h
After about four hours of hiking, we’ll begin our return to the beach where we entered the park, and the boat will be waiting for us there. If time allows on the way back, we’ll have the chance to see the stunning "La Llorona" waterfall, which flows directly into the ocean.
Drake Bay
1h
We’ll arrive back at the beach near Drake Bay around 1:30 p.m., where we’ll enjoy lunch together at a beachfront restaurant. If you’ve read about typical Costa Rican cuisine, you know that good rice and beans are a must. After lunch, we’ll say goodbye to the guide and the rest of the group, marking the end of the tour. You’ll be just a short walk away from your accommodation in Agujitas de Drake.
