Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Isla del Cano is a true Costa Rican treasure.

Feb 2024 • Solo

I highly recommend visiting this place because it is a real treasure. I had very good conditions and visibility, which only made my day even better. I had a trip with Costa Rica Divers from Uvita and I would certainly recommend the entire experience.

Gorgeous landscape and clear water!

May 2016 • Family

The place was our first stop to go as we were diving in two spots around the area, the perfect place to eat your prep lunch and then move to your next dive. Friendly team and professionals who only want to ensure you have a great time.

Outdtanding for whale watching

Aug 2018 • Family

We went from casa corcovado to isla del caño by boat. The trip takes around 40 minutes and it’s nice. Once there we snorkeled for an hour approx and saw a marine turtle and some sharks sleeping at the bottom of the sea. The snorkeling was just ok, not too colorful or espectacular. The beach was also good for relaxing and swimming but in our way back we saw a group of 4 or 5 whales playing around our boat, one female with baby whale and it was so amazing. Really worth the day trip. Around 1pm we were back for lunch at te lodge

The money can be better invested, snorkeling is not recommended.

Jan 2024 • Family

We cannot recommend the island for snorkeling. You see the usual fish that are everywhere. The exception are the turtles. We also saw a ray. However, compared to other spots, there are very few fish and even fewer corals to see. So it's not worth the money. We also found it very crowded and the obligation to carry the life jacket with us and to stay close to the group was extremely annoying. However, the jacket was good for our six-year-old daughter, as she was bored by the boring underwater world and could float around like on an air mattress.

Best snorkelling ever

Mar 2016 • Friends

We went on a private trip which included our own guide. He was so knowledgeable and showed us everything we asked. We saw reef sharks, turtles, manta rays, sting rays, snapper and much much more. If you get a chance do not miss the opportunity of a lifetime!
