It was hard figuring out which group we were with in the beginning. Different tour groups everywhere. Once we found our guide the trip was a blast!

We all loved the experience.
We were a family of five (2 adults and 3 kids - 12 years, 9 years, and 5 years).
Osa Great Adventure were prompt in their responses (email and WhatsApp) during the booking and pre-trip planning. All the arrangements made by Osa were as per the booking -- the person at the office in Drake was helpful and friendly, the guide was great, and the boat captain was excellent. They provided fruit + water on the boat and lunch was served at a restaurant after getting back to Drake.
Our snorkeling experience around Cano Island was spectacular – there are a lot of shallow reefs with lots of fishes and more. The water is a pleasant temperature. Between the two snorkeling sessions, there is a break of around 45 minutes at a beach at Cano Island, which has a short hike to a look out point.
One point to remember - be very careful while entering the exiting the boat -- depending on the conditions (waves etc.), the boat can move suddenly and one may have just a few seconds to get onto the boat in each cycle (when the boat is steady for a few seconds, passengers get onto the boat and when the boat is being suddenly pushed out/in, passengers back off from the boat and wait). This gets tricky especially with kids. Also note that it is a wet entry/exit -- kids can get wet till above their waists, and adults can get wet till their knees, but may also get wet above their waists). Depending on the exact pick-up point and the tides, there may be lot of little rocks at the entry and exit point of the boat. It is not safe/ not allowed to wear open heeled slippers, so most people go bare feet (and carry their open healed slippers in their hands/ day-backpacks. Alternatively wear waterproof closed-healed water-shoes/ sandals, so you do not have to go bare-feet on the little rocks while entering/ exiting the boat.

Many thanks, we are happy you had a great experience. It is a wet landing as you mention. Our team is used to this and we try to make it as safe as possible.

We were a family of five (two adults, three kids - 12 years, 9 years, and 5 years old).
All of us loved the experience. We got an excellent forest experience with a very diverse set of plants, animals, birds, insects, reptiles, water bodies, streams and more.
Staying overnight allows more time to explore Corcovado and see/hear animals in the evening and early morning, and not just for a few hours in the late morning.
Please note that, as stated in the details of the trip, accommodation is a dorm - lots of bunk beds with insect netting for each bed, and shared bathrooms (which are reasonably clean and have cold showers). We all slept very well and enjoyed the food - which is served in a school cafeteria like setting.
Please note the following:
-- you are not allowed to being ANY food, including fruits, chips, bars, and other snacks. The ranger at the entrance of the park goes through the bags (not a details look, but does a quick scan) and will take away any food.
-- be very careful while entering the exiting the boat -- depending on the conditions (waves etc.), the boat can move suddenly and one may have just a few seconds to get onto the boat in each cycle (when the boat is steady for a few seconds, passengers get onto the boat and when the boat is being suddenly pushed out/in, passengers back off from the boat and wait). This gets tricky especially with kids. Also note that it is a wet entry/exit -- kids can get wet till above their waists, and adults can get wet till their knees, but may also get wet above their waists).
-- there will be a dedicated guide for each group (from 2 people to 10 people).
-- remember to bring a small day back-pack for water, rainwear, sunscreen, bug-spray. There is a lot of walking all through the trip, including an optional 4.30 am/ 5.30 am early morning walk to experience the forest around dawn.

We had a great experience with our overnight to Sirena! Our guide, Luis, was very knowledgeable and knew exactly where to find the birds and mammals. He knew all the bird calls and animal tracks and trees. He also taught us a lot of history about Corcovado National Park.
