    A really cool experience from start to finish!! The snorkelling excursion in Drake Bay exceeded our expectations. We were able to see lots of colourful fish, two beautiful sea turtles and, to our surprise, even dolphins. The team was lovely, always attentive and making sure we enjoyed ourselves to the fullest, especially the instructor of the activity, Geovanny. To finish, they took us to a hotel where we enjoyed a delicious meal. Without a doubt, 100% recommendable!!

Drake Bay Tours and Activities | Explore Costa Rica

Located on the wild Osa Peninsula, Bahía Drake is a true paradise for adventure seekers and nature lovers. This remote bay is famous for its lush rainforests, turquoise waters, and incredible biodiversity. Here, untouched beaches meet dense jungle, creating a unique setting for eco-tourism, snorkeling, and exploring wildlife.

A Glimpse into the Past

The area is named after the legendary English explorer Sir Francis Drake, who is believed to have landed here in the 16th century. Originally a hideout for pirates, this bay has kept its mysterious aura through the centuries, remaining one of Costa Rica’s best-kept secrets.

Best Time to Visit

The dry season, from December to April, is the best time to explore the area. You’ll enjoy sunny days and calm seas, perfect for boat tours and hiking. The rainy season, from May to November, brings lush greenery and fewer crowds, but expect some showers and muddier trails.

How do I get there?

Bahía Drake is isolated, so most visitors arrive by boat from Sierpe or by small plane from San José. The journey is part of the adventure, offering scenic river or coastal views along the way.

What wildlife can I see?

The area is home to tapirs, scarlet macaws, monkeys, dolphins, and even humpback whales. Nearby Corcovado National Park is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, making it a top spot for wildlife enthusiasts.
