Signature Experiences

Guests of Southern Drake Lodge enjoy seamless access to some of Costa Rica’s most iconic natural destinations, most choose a balance of rainforest and marine experiences to make the most of the region.

Corcovado National Park

Explore one of the most biologically diverse places on Earth with knowledgeable local guides. Guided hikes reveal ancient rainforest, abundant wildlife, and remote coastal landscapes found nowhere else. We recommend booking Corcovado tours at least a month in advance, particularly during peak periods, as visitor numbers are limited. We work with experienced guides to ensure a well-paced and rewarding visit.

Caño Island Biological Reserve

Discover crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life through snorkeling or diving excursions. Caño Island offers one of Costa Rica’s most pristine underwater experiences.
