Creator's Key Takeaways

Drake Bay's remote location inevitably means it's a challenge to get to but I can guarantee it's absolutely 100% worth it.

I can't put a price on the incredible experiences that I had.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring a four-wheel drive vehicle if driving, otherwise take a boat or plane from San Jose.

✓Bring enough cash as there are no ATMs in Drake Bay.

✓Bring earplugs if staying overnight at Sirena ranger station to block out noise from other travelers.

✓Wake up early (around 4:30 AM) to see the most active wildlife.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Difficult access/roads — Use domestic flights (Sansa) or boat transfers from Sierpe instead of driving a standard vehicle.

Sleeping conditions at ranger stations — Bring earplugs for the bunk-style sleeping areas and be prepared for an open-air experience.

Lack of banking facilities — Carry enough cash for your trip as there are no ATMs in Drake Bay.
