There is a lot to do at Pirate Cove. Some activities are offered by most hotels in Drake and some are offered only by us. Search through our activities and you can get fairly complete descriptions of what is available. On this page we want to give you a little bit of our philosophy.
We really love Drake Bay and want to share that with you. All too often you read about a special place and then when you arrive you are herded along with your fellow tourists from one disappointing tour to another.
Drake Bay is special. Did you know there are 450 species of birds here? One of our guests found 30 in a few hours. Also, Cano Island lies on a major migratory route for many marine animals. If you're lucky you may be able to watch humpback whales and dolphins.
Corcovado National Park has been called one of the most biologically diverse places on earth. One guest actually filmed jaguars walking on the beach but he was walking in the most isolated area of the park. You might not see those on your tour but you should see lots of interesting things.
Unfortunately, you will only have a short time to know this magical area, but we will try and make your experiences as wonderful as possible, whether you are diving with the big fish or just swinging in your hammock!
When you depart we hope you will take some of our world with you and leave at least a little part of your heart with us.

Two options with different attractions The tour consists of a 3 kilometer hike around the park and a visit to San Pedrillo waterfall, or 5km and a visit to Sirena Station. You'll get to see more wildlife in Sirena Station.
Enjoy snorkeling in tropical waters Just a few meters from the white sand beach you will find creatures ranging from angelfish to the occasional small reef shark.
Cruise along Sierpe River Sierpe River is home to one of Costa Rica's largest mangrove forests. Here you can observe birds, mammals and reptiles. It also serves as path to some communities as Sierpe and Palmar Sur.
Full day marine wildlife tour The ocean near Drake Bay is filled with abundant and varied marine species. Many guests report this tour is the highlight of their stay at Pirate Cove.
How many species can you find? In the Osa Peninsula, of which Drake Bay is a part, there are more than 430 species. We often get to see scarlet macaws, toucans, king fishers and hummingbirds just to mention a few.
Exotic wildlife at night The tour is after the dinner. You'll need hiking shoes, long pants, and insect repellant.
Navigate through rivers and ocean Our kayaking tour consists of two parts: a leisurely jungle river journey and an exciting (sometimes challenging) ocean return.
