AIRPLANE

From San José there are 5 daily direct flights with two carriers. There are also 2 daily flights to Palmar Sur. We can find the flight which will suit your travel plans.

Once you arrive in Palmar Sur, you will need to take a taxi through the banana plantations to the quaint town of Sierpe. The taxi will leave you at the dock in front of the Oleaje Sereno hotel from which point you will take a boat the rest of the way to Drake's Bay. The boat winds down the stunning Sierpe River, through a narrow canal of mangrove trees, past the legendary Violin Island where it is said that the pirates Captain Morgan and Sir Francis Drake buried their abundant treasures, arriving one hour later in the breath-taking Drake's Bay.

PUBLIC BUS
A less expensive way to travel would be to arrive from San Jose to Palmar Norte by bus (TRACOPA) and takes about 6 hours. From Palmar Norte, you can take a taxi to Sierpe. Then continue as previously suggested above.

RENT A CAR
Finally, if you have a 4x4 vehicle, you can arrive by land most of the year. It would be a good idea to verify that the road is open, especially during the rainy season, before setting out. Enter through Chacarita, pass through Rincon de Osa, and then through Rancho Quemado, arriving finally in Drake's Bay.
