Morning light slices through giant figs as a skiff slips away from Drake Bay and the ocean begins to dare you with glints of dolphin and sea turtle. An hour and change later you step onto Sirena’s broad sand and follow short, flat trails into a young forest—47 years into regrowth—where coatis and agoutis move with casual curiosity and birds treat the canopy like a highway.

Move quietly and slowly
Reduce noise and keep a steady, respectful pace—wildlife sightings often happen when groups stay calm and still.

Carry a headlamp
Nights at the jungle shelter are basic and paths to facilities can be unlit—bring a reliable headlamp.
Sturdy waterproof hiking boots
