CANO ISLAND TOUR
Caño Island is situated just 12 nautical miles from
Aguila de Osa Inn,
and can be seen just minutes after leaving the protected cove of the
hotel. The boat ride to the Park entrance takes approximately 45
minutes, during which time you might be lucky enough to see whales
and/or dolphins frolicking in the ocean.

Your tour to Caño Island includes
ample time to snorkel in front of the ranger station. This will provide
snorkelers with an excellent opportunity to familiarize yourself with
the underwater terrain and sea life surrounding Caño Island. The dark,
volcanic rock is home to numerous species of marine life, much of which
you'll see just a short swim from the beach. As well, you'll have time
for a relatively short hike, which begins just behind the ranger
station.
After an initial climb, the trail tapers off and remains rather
flat throughout the remainder of your hike. Caño Island is not know for
its prolific wildlife, however, the Park does have rodents, crustaceans,
amphibians, birds, lizards, and insects. As well, there are
archeological remains on the island, which can be found at the very end
of one of the island's trails. Small, completely round spheres can be
observed, which is believed date back to the days when the island was
inhabited by Indians.
This tour includes lunch, which comes complete with a
variety of tropical fruits and drinks, salad, sandwiches,
and snacks, i.e. cookies. Lunch is prepared and served
around midday, along the beach, just to the right side of
the Ranger Station. There are benches and shaded areas for
those who need a reprieve from the hot sun. The Park Ranger
Station has an office, public bathrooms, an outdoor,
freshwater shower, and storage area.
