Meet at Drake Bay
At 5:45 a.m. the guide will be waiting for you at the meeting point in Drake Bay beach. The group will meet and at 6 a.m. we will set off for Corcovado National Park. The boat trip lasts 1:45 hours. Tip: If you tend to get seasick, we recommend you sit at the back of the boat and, if you consider it necessary, take any medication to avoid seasickness. Also, if you sit on the left side of the boat you will have great views of the coast. At 8 o’clock we will be inside the park, the perfect time to see all the animals, which are much more active in the early hours of the morning!
