OCEAN ADVENTURES · CAÑO ISLAND

Scuba Diving in Caño Island

Caño Island is one of Costa Rica’s most celebrated marine reserves, a sanctuary for both pelagic species and reef dwellers. Conditions tend to be excellent year-round, with great visibility.

This full-day adventure begins with a two-hour drive to Drake Bay, followed by a boat transfer to the island. Once there, certified divers will explore two dive sites guided by a PADI instructor.

Depending on the season, you might encounter reef sharks, manta rays, turtles, moray eels, dolphins, and even whales.
