How to get here?
There are several ways to get to Drake Bay:
Flights:
To and from San Jose directly
From Manuel Antonio to Palmar. We would have previously arranged a taxi to take you to Sierpe to take the boat to Drake Bay.
There is a bus that departs form San José to Palmar at 5:00am. You need to buy the tickets before because there is the risk of not being able to travel at all or having to travel standing up for the whole 6 hours trip. We would have previously arranged a taxi to take you to Sierpe.
This bus coming from San José passes by San Isidro for a short stop at around 8:30am. Se detienen en la parada principal de Tracopa en la que se puede estar esperando para abordarlo y dirigirse hacia Palmar. You can wait for it at the Tracopa bus station and aboard it there.
Private transportation with either rent a car, owned car or private minivan:
Go up to Palmar on the Cerro de la Muerte road, pass by San Isidro del General, keep going up to Palmar on the way to the border with Panamá. Once in Palmar take the detour to Sierpe up to the docks. Just like the bus you need to depart from San José at 5:00am.
During summer time you can drive down to Drake Bay with a 4x4 only. During winter time it is better to go to Sierpe.
Once in Sierpe find a parking lot for your car if you brought one. (Hotel Oleaje Sereno charges around $4 per night for the parking lot) and take the motor boat to Drake Bay which departs only at 11:30am. The total ride takes around 1:30am. Half of this time, approximately, goes through one of the most important waterlands of Meso-America, Sierpe – Terraba Mangrove forests. Here you can watch on both sides of the river, species like crocodiles, sloths, birds, monkeys and many others.
