Caño Island Tours, Snorkeling & Scuba Diving

Depart from Drake Bay, Sierpe, or Uvita and explore one of Costa Rica’s most remarkable protected marine reserves.

About Caño Island Tours

Clear information. Responsible exploration. The right departure point.

Caño Island is not simply another snorkeling stop. It is a protected marine reserve where ocean conditions, visibility and wildlife change from day to day.

Our role is to help you choose the right departure point, understand what the experience really includes and arrive prepared for a full day on the Pacific.

From the shorter route out of Drake Bay to the mangrove-and-ocean journey from Sierpe or the convenient departure from Uvita, each option serves a different traveler.

We believe the best marine adventure begins with honest expectations, professional guidance and respect for the reserve.
