Welcome to Costa Rica! You will join the yacht in Los Sueños Marina, located a spectacular 25 minute helicopter ride away from San Jose Airport.

Hidden amongst dense rainforest, Drake Bay was discovered by Sir Francis Drake during his voyage around the world in the 16th century. It is now one of the most exclusive resorts on the planet and wonderfully preserved due to conservation efforts.
After a morning exploring the bay you will head out to what feels like Jurassic Park; the Isla Cano Biological Marine Reserve. Look out for the five different species of dolphin that inhabit the waters, as well as the humpback whales that migrate through the waters twice a year with their calves.
The protected tropical waters surrounding the island offer world-class snorkelling and diving, with whale sharks, manta rays, mesmerising schools of pelagic fish and wonderfully healthy coral reefs to see.
