Adventures With William Mora

Corcovado Sirena One-Day Tour from Puerto Jimenez

Travel by boat from Puerto Jimenez to Sirena Station and spend the day exploring one of the most biodiverse sectors of Corcovado National Park.

This full-day experience combines a scenic marine journey with guided rainforest walks through lowland forest, river habitats and open areas where wildlife moves freely throughout the day.

Departure from Puerto Jimenez

Check-in takes place at the main dock in Puerto Jimenez at 5:20 a.m.

The shared boat departs at 5:30 a.m. and travels across the Golfo Dulce before continuing along the Pacific coast toward Sirena Beach.

The journey normally takes between one hour and thirty minutes and two hours, depending on ocean conditions, weather and operational logistics.

Arrival at Sirena Beach is expected between 7:15 and 7:30 a.m.

Sirena does not have a dock, so passengers should be prepared for a wet landing and may need to step into shallow water when leaving the boat.

Guided Exploration at Sirena

After entering Corcovado National Park, the group begins the walk from Sirena Beach toward the station and surrounding trails.

The main guided exploration takes place from approximately 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

During this period, the guide selects the most suitable trails according to recent wildlife activity, weather, trail conditions and the pace of the group.

The terrain around Sirena is mostly flat, although visitors should still expect tropical heat, humidity, mud, roots and uneven forest surfaces.

Possible wildlife observations may include tapirs, four species of monkeys, peccaries, coatis, agoutis, anteaters, crocodiles, scarlet macaws, toucans and many other mammals, reptiles and tropical birds.

Your certified bilingual guide will search for tracks, feeding signs, calls and movement in the vegetation while explaining animal behavior and the ecological relationships found within the rainforest.

Wildlife observations are never guaranteed.

Corcovado is a natural environment where animals move freely according to weather, food availability and their own behavior. Every visit is different, and sightings depend entirely on natural conditions.

Lunch and Return to Puerto Jimenez

Lunch is served at approximately 11:00 a.m.

After lunch, participants have time to rest and prepare for the return journey.

At approximately 11:50 a.m., the group begins walking back toward Sirena Beach.

The shared boat departs at around 1:00 p.m.

Arrival in Puerto Jimenez is expected at approximately 3:30 p.m., although the final schedule may vary according to ocean conditions, weather, tides, park regulations and operational logistics.

Passion for his work shows!
William guides people through parks and wildlife sightings, first because he loves nature and second, because it's his job. I spent two afternoons with William as a private birdwatching guide in and around the Drake Bay area. If I'm honest, the experience was significantly more genuine than the one I had at Corcovado, as this guide clearly understood animal behaviour, was really passionate about what he was doing, and took great pride in his work. I'm a photographer, so he was patient and knowledgeable about where to look and what to look for. A great experience!

Amazing wild life in Corcovado with William
We enjoyed having William as our guide. Good communication, punctual and clear about setting up the rules on the trail. All the questions we had about the animals and birds we saw were answered. He also proved to be very committed to show us majority of animals the park is famous for.
