In addition to world-class diving and fishing--dozens of international sportfishing records have been set in this area--Aguila de Osa can arrange rewarding excursions into Corcovado National Park, whale watching tours, hiking and snorkeling at Caño island, mountain biking, kayaking, and more. The guides are personable and well-informed, as is the inn's owner, who lives on-site, and virtually the entire staff. A great choice.
