This was an amazing tour - even if it was hot enough to melt! Steven was a great guide - he was enthusiastic, never went too fast or slow, got everyone involved, and knew a lot about the forest and its flora and fauna. We saw monkeys, a tapir, a sloth, lots of birds, basilisks, and an anteater. Lunch at the end was delicious! I would definitely recommend this tour.

There is not much tours can introduce there to differ. Everyone eats the same food in the same place, boats are the same, start time is the same, start place is the same. So no need to pay more than the cheapest one. This one is the cheapest at this moment. Guides are good. Animals are plenty, more than in manuel antonio or cloud forests.
Regarding getting to the drake bay - you can drive just fine there. No water crossings, it has a bridge on every one of the crossings. Road is better than el tigre or arenal park perninsula road. Couple of pathholes, but you will be fine on 2x4. The only place you may need a 4x4 is to get out of the parking near the gathering point, but you can park out of the town and walk to the place if you are on 2x4. They have not much parking, but not many people go there by car, so you'll be fine. Road from pavement of 245 to the bay takes about an hour in the dark.

Very fun trip! Well worth it because they take care of everything, including park reservations for your visit. Pick up is at Rancho Corcavado Lodge, the road there is pretty rough and extremely foggy. Once you arrive, go down the very steep muddy road and find any available parking. Due to road closures, make sure to download offline maps to get there on time. Bring closed toe shoes and a reusable water bottle (not optional). Once at the national park, the views are amazing, the boat trip is gorgeous, the guide is knowledgeable and funny, and there are many animals to see. Please don’t skimp and tip the tour guides because they worked so hard to make our experience worthwhile!

The guide was very knowledgeable. We saw a variety of wildlife and plants, all of which explained well by the guide. Boat ride to and from the park was fairly smooth.

I also reviewed our tour on TripAdvisor… Not sure if those reviews show up on Viator. We loved it! It's not really a hike TO Sirena Station--you could do that fairly quickly. You spend your winding around the amazing rainforest trails around the station. This tour company & our guide (Jorge!!) were awesome. There's a lot of logistics involved (boat entrance/exit, shoes on & off (you can leave sandals on the beach), ranger checkpoint, lunch, etc) and Jorge was our hero the whole time. He was a terrific wildlife spotter as well: peccaries, 3 kinds of monkeys, a boa, crocodiles, a caiman, tapirs, many kinds of lizards, and more! Once in a lifetime experience for our family (kids ages 7-16). Do this tour!

We had a fantastic day at Corcovado park. We did the full day with lunch at La Sirena. We saw loads of animals and we really appreciated our guide, his name is Brayner and we want to thank him for being so knowledgeable, passionate and nice! The boat ride to the park and back was very fast! Maybe a bit too fast for our likes

We had an amazing tour with William as our guide and saw so many animals - much more than in other parks. The boat ride was nice and the lunch at the station was good. Would definitely recommend.

This tour was a great opportunity to see the wildlife of Costa Rica. We met at 5:45 am and boarded the boat promptly at 6 am. There was a 1-hour boat ride to the park entrance. After checking in at the park entrance the tour began, around roughly 7:30. We explored for about 3 hours, and saw many animals. Our tour guide was William and he was incredibly knowledgeable and highly skilled when it came to being "in tune" with the forest and every sound that occurred around him. Around 10:30 we ate a shockingly good lunch. Afterward, we continued to explore until about 12:30 and boarded the boat to return around 1. A few things to note. Do take a pair of sandals and a pair of comfortable shoes. You can leave your sandals at the entrance, you won't have to carry them the whole time. Also, take a reusable plastic bottle of water. NOT a disposable bottle. You can refill your water bottle at the park with the faucet by the restrooms, or, at the cafeteria area. And, finally, I am very, very, thankful that we signed up for the 6 am tour- for the sake of temperature. It makes for a really great day!
