Tour Details

The Rio Claro - San Josecito Tour in Drake Bay, Costa Rica offers a unique and exclusive experience for travelers seeking adventure and relaxation. At Drake Bay Getaway, we understand the importance of a stress-free vacation and that's why we organize this tour for you.

Many people come to Drake Bay for its stunning Corcovado National Park and Caño Island, but for those who desire a more peaceful getaway, we suggest taking a hike to Punta Rio Claro National Wildlife Refuge. This wildlife refuge is just a 90-minute walk (6 km / 4 mi) from Drake Bay's main town and is home to a variety of wildlife including toucans, scarlet macaws, and white-faced capuchin monkeys.

As you hike along the coast, passing through tropical jungle and pristine beaches, you will reach the Rio Claro river mouth. This secluded spot is perfect for a quick swim or a guided canoe trip up the river. During the months of July to December, the Rio Claro beach is also a nesting ground for sea turtles and a small conservation project is located here where you can learn about these fascinating creatures.

From Rio Claro, the popular San Josecito beach is just a 30-minute (1 km / 0.5 mi) walk along the coastal trail. This white sand beach is a popular spot for swimming and sunbathing. At the end of the day, you will return to the hotel by boat, creating a truly unforgettable experience.
