Fantastic tour of this unique park. We saw a ton of animals (two types of monkeys, a red macaw, two sloths, tapirs...). Our guide David was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We highly recommend! The one thing to be aware of is it's a long boat ride from Sierpe - be ready for about 1.5 hours each way. But, well worth the trip!

An experience we won’t forget

Marie_G, Dec 2025
Vert Nice excursion! We had a lot of rain on the boat to go and at the beginning of the trek but it gave an exceptionnel expérience. We sale a lot of animales even dolphins on our way Back

Great day trip to Corcovado

Amanda_M, Sep 2025
Wonderful day trip to Corcovado- we saw whales on the way and back- and in the park saw a tapir, monkeys, anteater, and other wildlife. The boat's captain Brian, crewman Guillermo, and our guide Oscar were skilled professionals. Oscar was so knowledgeable about the park environment and animal species! PS: I noticed another review mentioning a lack of challenging hiking and adventure- thid is correct, and it was A GOOD THING because this tour isnt about hiking but is about maximizing wildlife sightings and experiencing the most of Corcovado in the very short period of time a day trip can offer.

Not recommended for adventurers

Mujo_M, Mar 2025
This trip is suitable for people who want to have a comfortable and superficial jungle experience (older people, people with children etc.). Would not recommend this tour to those who want to go deeper into the jungle (with more challenging hikes) and see more wildlife. Half of the hiking we walked with as group of 25 people…no surprise that we did not see much wildlife. However, overall the tour was well organized and the boat ride was nice.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Hola Mujo Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand that, if you are looking for a more in-depth and adventurous jungle experience, a one-day tour to Corcovado National Park may not be the most suitable, as this option is quicker and more accessible for those who do not have much time but still wish to experience this majestic place. For those who are looking for more of a challenge, we offer 2 to 3 day tour options, which allow you to explore the jungle in more depth. We appreciate that you appreciated the organization of the tour and the beauty of the boat ride; we hope to be able to offer you a more complete experience on a future visit, if you wish to explore the park in a deeper way! Pura Vida! Costa Rica Te Enamora Team

Fun day hike experience

Larry_J, Feb 2025
A great way to see a small part of this wonderful park and the mangroves. Our tour guide David was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and fauna in the park and made an effort to ensure everyone got a chance to see the wildlife that was present. It would have been helpful for better organization at the beginning if the guides had a list of people who were signed up for the each tour and a name badge, or identification, since there were multiple tours leaving from the same location.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Hola Larry Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour. It’s wonderful to know that the guide’s knowledge and effort made the experience even more special, ensuring everyone could enjoy the wildlife. We also appreciate your feedback on organization, and we’ll certainly take it into consideration as we continue to improve our operations to make the experience smoother for all guests. Thanks again for your valuable input, and we hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable adventure! 🌟 Pura Vida!! Costa Rica Te Enamora Team

Corcovado

GONZALEZ_C, May 2024
Thanks you for thé tour to corcovado national Park Carlos was a guide super and thé dinner was excellent 👍

It was really great!

Angelique_M, Apr 2024
The itinerary didn't match with what we actually did. We went to Sirena Station instead of San Padrillo. The boat was 2 hours which was quite long but the day was really great! We saw many animals and the walk in the jungle was beautiful. The boat trip back was 2,5 hours. So be aware that you be on the boat for 4,5 hours.

Daytrip to Corcovado from Sierpe, also compared to the trip from Drake Bay to Sirena

ElenaMaria_L, Mar 2024
We have done the day trip to Corcovado from Sierpe . It was amazing, we have seen so many animals, including a croco and dolphins at the ocean. Our guide explained a lot and was super motivated to show us as much as possible. I have done a similar trip from Drake Bay to Sirena before. For that trip it was necessary to stay in Drake Bay the night before and afterwards. The main difference is that you have a longer boat ride at the ocean and you take another Entrance to Corcovado National Park. Now I can say, especially when you don't have a lot of time, I can definitely recommend the trip from Sierpe to San Pedrillo for a day because it is just one day and I have seen at least the same amount of animals and had also a wonderful experience.

Another beautiful part of Costa Rica where the jungle meets the beach!

Kim_S, Feb 2024
My best friend and her husband and my daughter and I took this day trip from Sierpe to Corcovado and it was a full day of adventure. The weather was absolutely perfect and our tour guide pointed out several animals and was able to help us get great pictures with his monocular scope. I highly recommend it!

Uninspiring

Peter_K, Feb 2024
Thought this was going to be the highlight of our trip but it was actually mediocre. We didn't find out until half way around the 3hr hike that the tour we booked was closed due to fallen trees. We aldo didn't know until a couple of days before that plastic water bottles were not allowed in the park although rangers were not very thorough. I would suggest saving your money on this trip and taking a mangrove tour at sierpe which was wonderful

Great trip to Corcovado National Park

Steven_C, Feb 2024
Our guide Jose was great at finding animals, we saw squirrel and spider monkeys, sloth, and many birds including a trogon and many macaws plus a crocodile. The boat rides were fun and sometimes exciting, especially going out onto the ocean. I would highly recommend taking a reusable water bottle since hiking in the hot and humid jungle requires lots of water.

Nice day trip to the jungle

Frederick_B, Feb 2023
Enjoyed day trip form Sierpe to concorvada park. Enjoyed breakfast, then had fun boat ride to park. Saw sloth, monkeys, macaws, bats, and lots of jungle. Awesome and very fun trip. We were led by a nature guide who was great.

Perfect day trip to Corcovado!

Jeffrey_B, Jun 2022
A fantastic trip, our guide Carlos was so knowledgeable and friendly, Jose the boat captain did an amazing job, first mate Peter was great, the boat trip alone is worth it, but of course the guided hike in the park is breathtaking. We saw tons of wildlife. Highly recommend this tour!

Remote rain forest experience

Brian_P, Dec 2021
During this trip you truly feel isolated and remote. It’s a true rain forest experience. The guides are extremely knowledgeable and go above and beyond to find wild life to show you especially one that you typically would not see in other parts of Costa Rica.

Unforgettable

Hannelore_P, Jul 2021
The nature and the guides were great. We saw a lot of birds and animals. The weather was perfect in rainy season

Response from Host, Jul 2021

Helloooo!! Thank's so much!! What a great words, that make us feel so good. Hope to see you again

Peut mieux faire !!

Mathias_D, Mar 2024
Sortie qui est sympathique sur le papier, dans les faits départ en retard, trajet plus long que prévu, la cascade n'a ni été évoquée ni vue, donc maillot inutile, (par contre prévoir que l'arrivée se fait dans l'eau (jusque mi mollet environ), et ensuite repas a 13h et départ à 14h pour une arrivée à 15h15 à l'embarcadère... donc 1h/1h30 de perdue sur la journée qui aurait pu être faite sur place à voir plus !! Je m'attendais à mieux au vu du prix...

Geweldige tour

Paulus_M, Jan 2024
Geweldige tour. Geen 5 sterren omdat we de boot zeer oncomfortabel vonden voor de lange zit. Voor de rest een aanrader.

Gran experiencia

JosManuel_d, Aug 2023
Gran experiencia. Los guías han sido muy profesionales. Se nota que conocen muy bien el parque y todas sus especies animales y vegetales
