March 10, 2022 Hana Mouser

Legend has it that notorious pirate Sir Francis Drake hid his treasures somewhere in Drake Bay, hence the name. Doubloons or not, there are plenty of natural treasures to marvel over, like lush rainforests and colorful sea life. Invest in a guided hiking, diving, fishing, tubing or treetop canopy tour to get the full Drake Bay experience. “Tracie the Bug Lady” even offers a night tour to acquaint you with all of the local creepy crawlies.

This tour was an AMAZING tour for my daughter and I. We shared a boat with Divers and had the amazing Deyanira, who seems to be very skilled and native in the water. She pointed out amazing sea turtles, awesome schools of fish, coral, and we even saw an eel and (friendly) shark! So wondrous swimming in these beautiful waters, and the boat crew was great too, navigating waters with great skill and even stopping when we spotted some sea turtles coming up for air. We did a few rain forest hikes and really enjoyed all that the magical land of Costa Rica has to offer, but the magic of this special South Pacific sea can not be missed! Deyanira was amazing!

The experience was very special. Walking down the river in slow pace, taking time to feel the experience and enjoy the many animals active and hunting at night was great. Plenty of snakes, frogs and spiders, for which we took all the time to enjoy. The music of the night in the jungle is another this that should really impress everyone. I strongly advice to take the time for this special adventure.

The accommodation has beautiful views onto the ocean at Bahia Drake! There is enough hot water and water pressure in the shower. A small fridge in the room. Great A/C and comfy beds. Erick the owner helped us with every question we had! Really great. I recommend Corcovado Day Trip and the scuba diving/snorkeling! Don’t do the night walk. That is way to expensive.

Walter actually scheduled several tours and travels for us, even though he was actually birding in Florida at the time. Roy took us to the Corcovado Sirena Ranger Station. He was an excellent guide, first finding out what we were especially interested in and then trying to track it down. We were hot on the trail of fresh tapir tracks but never quite saw it, not for lack of trying! Still, we saw two varieties of mannikins, lots of monos, peccaries and coati, and several larger birds which were a first for us, as well as the usual cast of tropical characters (birds). The Sirena Station was open for lunch, and we had a nice "buffet" with careful covid restrictions. Walter also arranged lodging at La Perla and a mangrove tour at Sierpe, as well as transport from sierpe to San Gerardo de Dota. Everything went off without a hitch and on time. What a great job!
