How to Go Snorkeling at Caño Island
Just off shoreline near Corcovado National Park is Caño Island, or Isla del Caño. This island is not only a great place to witness breathtaking scenery, but it is also a marine biological reserve. It is also a place of geographical and archeological importance. It was once a burial ground dating to the pre-Columbian era.
Not much wildlife is found on the island itself, but it is used for passage by migratory birds. The true beauty of this island is experienced underwater. The waters around Caño Island are some of the bluest in Costa Rica and are filled with a variety of flora and fauna.
These crystal clear waters make it easy to see everything from coral reefs to aquatic life like turtles, eels, fish, and more. One of the best ways to view this underwater world is snorkeling, and guests at El Castillo have a fantastic outing available to them.
The two-hour tour is offered Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and includes a beachside lunch. Explore the waters with a seasoned guide who will help swimmers navigate the turquoise waters and coral reefs.
