Caño Island Tours & Activities | Discover Costa Rica's Hidden Gem

Caño Island is a small, pristine paradise off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, renowned for its crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and lush tropical landscapes. A favorite spot among snorkeling and diving enthusiasts, this remote island promises an unforgettable adventure both above and below the surface.

A Brief History

Historically, Caño Island has been an important archaeological site. Ancient indigenous cultures once used the island as a burial ground, leaving behind mysterious stone spheres and artifacts that still intrigue archaeologists and visitors alike.

Best Time to Visit

The driest and sunniest months run from December to April, offering prime conditions for boat trips, snorkeling, and diving. While the green season (May to November) sees occasional rain showers, the underwater visibility often remains excellent, and the island tends to be less crowded.

What marine life can be seen?

The waters around the island teem with marine biodiversity. Visitors frequently spot dolphins, sea turtles, rays, and colorful schools of fish. Lucky divers might even encounter white-tip reef sharks and, occasionally, humpback whales.

How do you get there?

Most tours depart from the seaside town of Drake Bay or Sierpe, reachable by boat. Organized excursions make the trip seamless, often including transport, guides, and necessary equipment.
