According to researchers, this island was believed to have been formed over 50 million years ago when the earth’s tectonic plates moved, causing this island to emerge. The real beauty of Isla del Cano is not found on its surface, but underwater. This island’s virgin waters are some of the bluest in the country, and are home to a spectacular variety of stunning marine flora and fauna as well as some gorgeous coral reefs. Rated as being one of the best underwater adventure diving spots in the world, the Isla del Cano Biological Reserve is also home to a huge variety of fish, whales and sharks. With fantastic underwater visibility, on any given day one can see; Sea turtles, dolphins, stingrays, Manta rays, Moray eels, barracudas, tuna, snapper and grouper swimming alongside a variety sharks and Humpback or Pilot whales. Since the island is a reserve scuba diving numbers are regulated, and visitors are not allowed to remove any marine life, dead or alive. Camping areas have been set up on the island with a ranger station on hand and boat tips here can be arranged from as far off as Dominical or Drake Bay.
