Cocos Island

Home 9 Destinations 9 Central America 9 Costa Rica 9 Cocos Island

Located some 340 miles (550 km) off the Costa Rican Pacific Coast, the World Heritage Site of Cocos Island is the most remote commercial liveaboard diving destination in the world. But that 36 hour boat crossing is worth it once you arrive at the island that was used to film Jurassic Park. Experienced divers seek out this destination for the guaranteed encounters with huge walls of hammerhead sharks, Galapagos, tiger, silky, blacktip, silvertip and whitetip reef sharks, and a multitude of ray species. 

Whale sharks also come here to feed on seasonal plankton blooms. And if the scuba diving is not thrilling enough, then why not take a once-in-a-lifetime deep sea sub tour to explore the ocean depths and the rarely seen creatures that inhabit this rarely seen part of the marine world.
