Corcovado National Park: Full-Day Sirena / San Pedrillo

Tour Description

Corcovado National Park has five ranger stations, and on this tour, you will have the opportunity to visit two of the most popular in a single day.

The first station you will visit is Sirena Station. To get there, you will take a boat from Colorada beach, with an approximate travel time of 1 hour and 15 minutes. Along the way, you can enjoy stunning coastal views, spot dolphins, and—during whale season—you may even encounter whales.

Sirena Station is ideal for wildlife observation. The hike is relaxed, on mostly flat terrain, and the main goal is to search for and observe animals in their natural habitat. Wildlife sightings may vary, as animals roam freely. Still, Sirena is considered one of the best places to see endangered mammals such as tapirs, peccaries, monkeys, snakes, sloths, birds, and many other species. The guided walk in Sirena lasts approximately 3.5 hours.

After the hike, you will enjoy lunch at Sirena Station. Once finished, you will take the boat back to San Pedrillo Station.

Arrival at San Pedrillo is around 12:30 p.m. (schedule may vary depending on the group and guide). From there, we continue into the forest trails to explore the second station of Corcovado.

San Pedrillo Station is perfect for immersing yourself in the rainforest. Here, you can observe primary forest, a great diversity of plant life, visit a beautiful waterfall, and, if weather conditions allow, swim in a refreshing natural pool in the heart of the jungle.

San Pedrillo can sometimes surprise visitors with incredible wildlife sightings such as pumas or tapirs, although these are unpredictable. More commonly, you may encounter crocodiles, monkeys, sloths, agoutis, and a wide variety of bird species.

    Fantastic and affordable place to stay in Drake Bay. Conveniently located in the town. Easy walk to the beach and central to all restaurants. Clean and spacious rooms, with AC and nice bathroom / shower. Recommend adding on the breakfast, it was delicious and $8 per (when we stayed), which is average.

    Un séjour agréable qui a commencé des l'arrivée en bateau ou nous avons été accueillis par Margot. Nous avons été remonté en 4x4 de la plage après l'arrivée en bateau. La chambre était spacieuse, lumineuse avec beaucoup de verdure. Possibilité d'un petit déjeuner très tôt avant les départ en excursion.

  • Wir haben hier 3 Nächte während unseres Urlaubes verbracht. Den Aufenthalt können wir absolut empfehlen. Super Service mit Abholung vom Boot und das Frühstück war auch absolut okay. Im Zimmer haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Klimatisiert, sauber und keine extrem veraltete Einrichtung. Wenn wir etwas zu kritisiere hätten dann nur, dass das Hotel an einer stark befahrenen Straße liegt und man auf jeden Fall Ohrstöpsel einpacken sollte. Mit denen hat man aber eine absolut erholsame Nacht.

    A mi esposo y a mí nos encantó este hotel. La habitación es espaciosa, la cama comfortable, baño limpio y con buena presión de agua. Dan desayunos deliciosos y si hay que salir en un tour los dan bien tempranito. Todos los que nos atendieron son muy amables y además coordinan los toures de la zona. Sin duda volveríamos.

    We stayed in Hotel Jacamar for 3 nights and purchased a tour package through them. The tours were beautifully organized, the staff was kind and professional, and the hotel was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and ready early so we could set off on early excursions. I highly recommend purchasing a hotel package with tours and breakfast. Our ferry ride into Drake Bay from Sierpe was beyond awful, so I would recommend traveling by road or plane (or maybe the earlier ferry as I’ve heard that is better?), but once we got here, it has been an absolutely perfect stay. 10/10 would recommend. The tours were truly excellent. I never felt unsafe on the tour boats despite very turbulent seas (apart from that initial ferry ride from hell to get to Drake Bay which was not Jacamar’s fault). The tour staff were exceptional. We saw so many animals in Corcovado and our guide Emmanuel worked really hard to make that happen. Despite unseasonably rough seas, we were able to see a number of fish, dolphins, and turtles on the snorkeling tour, thanks to the staff working really hard to find the best spots. My daughters especially loved the guide “Miss Elsa”. After the harrowing journey to get there, our experience in Drake Bay was truly a dream, and Hotel Jacamar made that happen for us.

    Wir haben hier 5 Nächte verbracht und es war wirklich toll! Unglaublich guter und freundlicher Service, besonders Jenny hat uns bei allem geholfen, uns vom Boot abgeholt und wieder hingebracht und war immer toll. Das Hotel selbst ist super schön, geräumig, top gelegen falls man viele Dinge machen möchte. Sauber, Klimaanlage und sehr leckeres (und bei Bedarf sehr frühes) Frühstück. Absolute Empfehlung!

    Wonderful stay at Jacamar. We were looked after by Dylan for the whole stay who was responsive and helped us organise our stay and excursions. Lovely room and great breakfast. Great location and loved seeing birds and monkeys from the Balcony, would recommend staying here!!!

  • . Cómodo y bien atendido, aunque ruidoso de noche" ​Puntos positivos: Increíble logística de recogida en la playa. Habitación y baño muy espaciosos, limpieza impecable y una terraza perfecta para descansar. El trato en recepción fue excelente. ​Tip viajero: Cruzad a la cafetería de enfrente para desayunar. Calidad precio inmejorable y repostería artesana increíble. ​Mejorable: Si eres amante de las noches silenciosas, atento. La cercanía a los locales de ocio nocturno hace que se oiga bastante ruido durante la madrugada.

    De belles chambres spacieuses, une grande salle de bain. Petit bémol trop prêt de la route et beaucoup de bruit en soirée

    Habitacion muy amplia y limpia. Nos recogieron a la llegado del barco y nos llevaron cuando nos fuimos. El desayuno por $8 muy completo (no es buffet, lo eliges tú el día de antes). Nos ayudaron con la reserva de la excursion al Parque de Corcovado y la guía fue buenísima!

  • The hotel is surrounded by lush greenery. The rooms are nice, clean, and have huge balconies. The beach is only a 10 minute walk. The staff were super friendly and helpful.
