The experience was very special. Walking down the river in slow pace, taking time to feel the experience and enjoy the many animals active and hunting at night was great. Plenty of snakes, frogs and spiders, for which we took all the time to enjoy. The music of the night in the jungle is another this that should really impress everyone. I strongly advice to take the time for this special adventure.

Osa Great adventures - were really helpful in sorting out a tour by WhatsApp especially when I had so many specific requirements and had so little time to do it in. Also really helpful with advice on how to get to drake bay. The tour itself was amazing and my Guide Melvin was incredible at spotting animals. If you can afford it definately stay the night.

I had an incredible experience hiking Sirena with my guide, Steven Madi. Steven's knowledge of the flora and fauna of Corcovado is mind blowing. Every question you have about any bird, mammal, insect, plant, or fungus you encounter will be met with a detailed answer that helps you gain a deeper understanding of the intricacies of the forest. Steven imitates the calls of birds and monkeys to attract them to you so that you'll have a breathtakingly close encounter. He knows how to read animal footprints in the mud and even smell the air for signs of peccaries and monkeys. He spots highly camouflaged animals that I never would have seen with the naked eye, and he leads you into the brush to gain an even closer look. At one point, I found myself less than 3 feet away from a peaceful tapir--what an experience! I noticed that Steven was often just as excited as I was to spot wildlife that he sees every single day, and I realized this is because of the deep respect for animals and passion that he has for his work as a guide. Steven himself is an extremely kind, patient, and professional guide. He has a calming presence, which I felt was important in a wild place like Sirena where it's common to feel nervous about what you might encounter. I thoroughly enjoyed spending 2 days hiking with Steven and came away from the experience with a deep respect for the wildlife of Corcovado. I highly recommend Steven as a guide and know that when I return to Corcovado (and I absolutely will!) I will without a doubt make sure I hire Steven as my guide again. Side note: if you are looking to practice your Spanish, Steven will oblige! I told him I wanted to work on my Spanish and he went out of his way to tell me all the names of plants and animals in both English and Spanish, as well as their scientific Latin names, and even when they evolved and what they evolved from. His breadth of knowledge is genuinely amazing.

David and André were fantastic guides during our stay in Drake's Bay. We did both the night walking tour and day tour in Corcovado (if only we had longer) in a small group with others. The night tour was a great introduction to creatures we would normally overlook if we didn't have a guide with us (we even saw a poison dart frog!) The day tour in Corcovado (Sirena) was the highlight and well worth the bumpy boat ride - within the first few minutes we saw a tapir, squirrel monkeys and tinamou. The rest of the tour was fabulous as we spotted many beautiful birds as well as jesus christ lizards amongst many others. I have to mention that David also went out of his way to try and return a personal item I forgot at lunch and was incredibly patient when our group was running late. I highly recommend Sukia travel and would love an opportunity to see more of Drake's Bay with them again.
