Another speedboat ride another playful pod of dolphins, en route to Cano Island, 1.5 hours offshore from Drake Bay.
We enjoyed some great snorkeling with White-tipped Reef Sharks, Puffer fish, rays and a school of 100+ Bat fish.
Before lunch we hiked up to the top of the island to see the ancient ceremonial stone spheres.
After some time relaxing on the beach, and/or chasing crabs, we got back on the boat and moved on for another snorkel with Reef Sharks before heading back to our hotel.
We still had some energy to burn so we took out kayaks on the river and had a paddle looking out for lizards and birds along the shore.
Enjoying a beer back on our patio we saw two lizards facing off, one puffing up a pouch on its throat. We weren't sure if they were fighing or mating but it was a spectacular display that was sure to make an impression one way or the other.
Jessica was extremely helpful and generous with her time. She was very responsive to our questions and comments and in a very timely fashion. She worked with us in partnership to plan a trip specifically for us and our wants and needs.

Just as she did last time we booked with Adventure Life, Franny really listened to what we wanted for our trip and went the extra mile to help us build the perfect itinerary.

What made our Costa Rica experience great was the wonderful places we stayed and transportation to get to our different areas to visit was excellent! The white water rafting and the snorkeling & dolphin watching were really fun!

Adventure Life took care of everything! All we had to do was show up when we were supposed to, which made our first trip to Costa Rica largely stress-free and incredibly fun. Our trip reps, Hannah and Mariethony, were helpful and responsive, getting back to us by email usually within a few hours. Our accommodations were all great, and we got incredibly blessed with some absolutely stellar guides and drivers.
Our Jungle & Beach trip was an excellent balance of adventure and rest. We got to try out a lot of different activities, including snorkeling, hiking, white water rafting and kayaking, while also partaking of some rest around the pool or by the ocean. We enjoyed seeing and exploring the beautiful Caribbean side of the country.
