My wife and I booked the Caño Island snorkeling adventure. Elsa reached out to confirm our date and details of our pickup since we were staying outside of Drake Bay (at Eden Corcovado). She arranged for a boat to pick us up and take us to Drake Bay. Our main tour guide Kendall was very friendly and knowledgeable about the wildlife locations and information. He spoke multiple languages and was easy to understand. Our tour was during August with ideal conditions, so we saw whales on the boat ride to Caño island, 3 different types of turtles, a shark, a stingray, and many different types of fish. On the ride back we saw a small family of dolphins. We did two 60-90 minute sessions of snorkeling with a break on Caño Island. After the snorkeling a nice lunch was provided. At the end of the lunch we were offered either a ride back to our hotel or we could do the 30 minute walk on the beach. Overall this was an incredible experience and we thought it was great value for the money as well.
