Caño Island is the most spectacular Biological Reserve in Costa Rica and, although wildlife is scarce in terms of fauna, the real beauty of the island is not found on the surface, but underwater. Caño Island has one of the largest and most well-maintained coral reef formations on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, allowing, with its characteristics, to be one of the best spots for snorkeling in the entire country.
The island protects very important marine environments, where coral reefs stand out for their extension and richness of species. There are five coral platforms (low reefs) with extensions ranging from 0.8 to 4.2 hectares. It is an extremely important area for the reproduction of hundreds of species.
Associated with reefs, there is a diversity of species of fish, turtles, rays, invertebrates, algae, white-fin sharks and some species of mammals such as dolphins and whales (season from July to November and from January to April). In addition, other marine species are present in different environments of the island, such as rocky beaches and cliffs where countless starfish, hedgehogs, lobsters and cambutes (Strombus Galeatus), a type of giant snail, live
, among others.
Join us for this unique and spectacular snorkeling adventure that you can experience in one of the best places in the entire country for this activity. You shouldn't miss it!
