Drake Bay - Sierpe Wetlands

The day starts with our arrival in Drake Bay, a secluded cove on the northern Osa Peninsula, embraced by pristine jungle and hidden beaches. Named after the legendary corsair Sir Francis Drake, this region retains an air of mystery and uncharted exploration. After breakfast, the adventure continues upriver into the Sierpe Wetlands, one of Central America’s most extensive and biodiverse mangrove systems. Aboard our smaller expedition boats, you’ll navigate green labyrinths where aerial mangrove roots shelter wildlife such as caimans, white-faced capuchin monkeys, tiger herons, kingfishers, and vibrant roseate spoonbills. The experience is like gliding into a living, breathing jungle. Back on the Zibó, the afternoon is dedicated to aquatic fun and relaxation. In the calm waters of the southern Pacific coast, choose from a full menu of water-based activities, whether you seek adrenaline or serenity.

Caño Island

Today, the cruise sets course for one of Costa Rica’s most legendary Pacific coast destinations: Caño Island. Surrounded by one of the country most pristine and vibrant marine ecosystems, this Biological Reserve is not only a natural haven, but also a sacred ceremonial site for pre-Columbian indigenous cultures. As you approach the island, the water becomes stunningly clear, unveiling a colorful mosaic of coral reefs beneath the surface. The day is dedicated to non-motorized water activities, offering a peaceful and immersive experience in perfect harmony with this protected marine sanctuary. Between adventures, unwind on the ship’s deck or relax in shaded areas with refreshing tropical fruits and natural beverages always accompanied by breathtaking ocean views. Caño Island offers a perfect balance of conservation and exploration. This day invites you to (literally) dive into Costa Rica’s remarkable commitment to protecting its natural treasures.

Corcovado National Park

Wake up to the golden sunrise over the Osa Peninsula mountains, accompanied by the songs of tropical birds. Today’s destination is one of Costa Rica’s most treasured gems: Corcovado National Park, hailed by National Geographic as “the most biologically intense place on Earth per square meter.” After breakfast onboard, prepare for a day of deep connection with nature. The vessel will approach one of the park’s ranger stations either, San Pedrillo or Sirena, where expert naturalist guides will lead you on a hike through primary tropical rainforest trails. Along the way, keep an eye out for three species of monkeys, sloths, tapirs, and, with a bit of luck, even the elusive jaguar. Endemic birds, colorful frogs, and dazzling blue morpho butterflies accompany every step in this unique rainforest experience. In the afternoon, the adventure shifts from the forest to the turquoise waters surrounding the park. Anchored in a secluded bay, the yacht becomes your floating base for aquatic activities: kayaking, snorkel, glide down the water slide, paddleboard, hop on a jet ski, or explore with a Sea scooter. Whether on land or at sea, today is a celebration of the wild, untamed beauty that makes Costa Rica so extraordinary.
