Corcovado National Park - A guided tour into Costa Rica’s crown jewel rainforest. After an early breakfast, you leave for the San Pedrillo Ranger Station at Corcovado National Park, about a 20 minute boat ride from Drake Bay. The crown jewel of Costa Rica's rainforests and the most biologically intense place on earth, Corcovado is home to 400 species of birds, 140 mammals, 116 species of amphibians and reptiles, 500 species of trees and 6000 species of insects. Corcovado National Park protects several endangered species including jaguar, puma, scarlet macaw, crocodiles, tapir, poison dart and golden frogs and the harpy eagle.  $85 per person.

Caño Island - A guided tour to view an ancient Indian burial ground, beautiful beaches, hiking and snorkeling. Caño Island is a marine biological reserve famous for mysterious pre-Columbian spheres and world class scuba diving and snorkeling. Walking on the trails you will see Indian artifacts, and the snorkeling here is amazing. Isla del Caño consists of approximately 200 hectares (500 acres) and lies 15 kilometers offshore.  Pre-Columbian people crossed the open ocean in small boats to make a religious site and burial ground. Pottery dating from 200-800 A.D. has been found, although large-scale archeological studies have not been carried out. It may have been a trading post during the Middle Ages. More recently, it is rumored that Sir Francis Drake (or Pirate Drake if you are not English) left some of his gold treasure here. Today the island is an oasis of calm and beauty and well worth your visit. Another interesting fact about Caño Island is that it gets more lightening strikes than any other place in the world, there is actually a burn spot where the lightening has hit so many times. $85 per person.

Kayak Tour - Kayaking is a great way to see a variety of animals in the area, both in the ocean and along the rivers. You can see birds, mangroves, monkeys, toucans and so much more as you quietly paddle along the rainforested river banks.  Tours are available for all skills and comfort levels.  Please inquire as to what is available during your visit, not all tours are conducted year round.  Kayaks are rented by the hour, some lodges provide them for free.  Kayaks are available at Vida Marina's Marine Conservation and Research Center.  $15 per person per hour.

Horseback Riding - Guided tour to explore jungle trails and beaches. A great way to see wildlife. Bring long pants, sunscreen, water, hat. Tour lasts approximately three hours.  $50 per person.

SCUBA - Experience one of the world’s premier SCUBA spots around Caño Island. At Caño Island you will encounter both pelagic (open ocean) and Pacific reef fish. Many species are the same as found in the Galapagos Islands. If you like sharks you will see 2-meter long white tipped reef sharks, silky sharks, bull sharks and very occasionally hammerheads. It is not uncommon to see manta rays leaping from the water and hundreds of lesser devil rays regularly pass by. There are too many other fish to list here but many divers especially enjoy meeting the free-swimming moray eels, which are often 2-meters long.  The local dive shop is a proud member of PIRA (PADI International Resort Association) and the only MARES HUB center in Costa Rica.  $125 per person.

Off-Shore Fishing - All equipment furnished. We have amazing fishing in the area, with MahiMahi, Tuna, Macrel, Rooster Fish, Jack and more. Average price is $400-$1200 depending on who you go out with.

Bird Watching Tour - Add hundreds of birds to your list, Costa Rica has more hummingbirds than all of North America and Canada!  Drake Bay is the best place in the country to see birds.  $35 per person.

Night Tour - Bugs... Most people unabashedly admit it's true. We crush them. We swat them. We spray them. Some techno-types even zap them. Occasionally, however, we pause to marvel them, for they are the most successful animal group on the planet. On this two-hour trek through the rainforest, you'll go in search of the rogues' gallery of micro-critters. And true, you're guaranteed to see the beast with two brains on this tour. But fear not; with a plethora of anecdotes, insights, and urban legends, the tales on this trek will surly transform your fear and loathing to grudging admiration for one of the most incredible success stories on the planet. $35 per person. 

Drake Bay Canopy Tour - Swing through the trees of the upper rainforest canopy, just like the monkeys, but you will be wearing protective gear and use a zip line!  $55 per person.
