Corcovado is the last remaining Pacific lowland rainforest of sustainable size in Central America and has been called 'the most biologically intense place on earth' by the National Geographic Society.

Constrained within this tropical wilderness is an immense biodiversity and this will be your chance to explore it. Overnight at Casa Corcovado Jungle Lodge

(B,L,D) Breakfast at the hotel. You'll meet your guide at the Gear House to select your snorkeling gear. It's then a 40-minute boat ride to the 'Coral Garden'. At certain times of the year, you may also see pilot or humpback whales, and dolphin along the way. The snorkeling site is located within a marine reserve, and is a good place for spotting a wide variety of fish and marine mammals, including - if you are lucky - manta rays, turtles and small white-tipped sharks. Accompanied by your guide, this is a great tour for beginners and experienced snorkelers alike. We usually snorkel for around an hour.
