Snorkel the clear waters of Caño Island Biological Marine Reserve, an Eden of coral and rock formations filled with schools of vibrant tropical fish.

Only 12 nautical miles from Aquila de Osa, Caño Island is a paradise for snorkelers, scuba divers, and swimmers and sunbathers alike.

Our dive masters take snorkelers of all ages and experience levels aboard our 30-ft Island Hopper for some breathtaking adventures in these beautiful waters. Visibility is 30-100 feet or more year-round, and the reefs and rock formations are teeming with exotic sea life. Caño Island is an underwater photographer’s dream and is great for families.

There will be two snorkeling immersions with a break on the island to relax, catch some sun, and walk the beach. After the second immersion, we will head toward the hotel and stop at the beautiful San Josecito beach for a fabulous picnic lunch with fruits, soft drinks, and desert.
