Outstanding and amazing dive into the nature of Corcovado National park and the Osa peninsula Exploring the Oda peninsula with Sukia was an amazing experience. We had the 6 days/5 nights jungle adventure tour and stayed at Sukia Hostel. The hostel is 10-15 minutes walking distance from the beach, has a basic kitchen, free drinking water supply. From our wooden cabin we saw one morning monkeys climbing through the trees. Our adventures started with a welcome dinner, where Brian explained us how our trip works. Every morning we were picked up by car, dropped at a breakfast place from where we started to the daily excursion meeting points. Adventure 1: Night Walk with Allan - we put in rubber boots and walked through a garden and a river at Drake bay to see frogs, spiders, a snake, a salamander and a scorpion. Allan helped us spot all this amazing night active animals and guided as safely through the night. Adventure 2: La Sirena/San Padrillo overnight with Katherine - A two day hike with overnight stay at San Pedrillo through the Corcovado national park. Katherine was an amazing guide who pointed out all the animals and the fantastic nature. Greetings to our amazing group with Lisa, Steve and James. Adventure 3: Canyoning with David and Allan - With a 4WD we went to Tamadua where we fist hiked through the jungle and the walked down a river with waterfalls and rapids using ropes to repel down. David and Allan explained the jungle to us and guided us safely through the river. Also David nicely explained to us the details of the philosophy behind Sukia and Allan introduce natural skin care to us. Adventure 4: Snorkling in front of Caño Island with David and Yok - With a boat we went to Caño Island and saw all these colorful underwater wildlife such as stingrays, turtles and parrot and rainbow fishes. Adventure 5: Mangrove tour with Brian - As goodbye from Drake bay we made a boat tour through the mangroves of the Sierpe river, where Brian helped us to spot a vast variety of birds, Crabs, a few Crocodiles a Cayma, Bats and a Owl. After all these adventures our experience with Sukia ended in Sierpe. Huge thanks for the amazing time 🙂

I highly recommend this company to anyone who is travelling to see Corcovado National Park. As a solo female traveller, I felt very well taken care of by the very friendly and experienced staff. I also met many other solo female travellers on the tours. Everything was very efficient and well organised. In particular, Alejandro was excellent. He is so helpful and kind - it was a very nice touch that he took me to my accommodation and spent time explaining everything about my trip. He also led the canyoning tour which was fantastic. I also received excellent guiding from Bryan and Allan. The tour pushed me out of my comfort zone but I felt really safe.

Must have in Costa Rica! I wanted an Adventure and I for one- this 6 days tour is a Must have and amazing Experience! Sukias philosophy of traveling and experiencing nature is amazing and for me the truly Right way. The Guides Are amazing and have all their own personality- Cat was an amazing Guide in Serena, but also Brian and Alan made us an unfortettable trip! Thanks a Lot to all Guides and hopefully I will be able to return and do another Tour one day! Thanks to Sukia and David! Much greetings and love from Germany

Expérience incroyable avec un guide génial, drôle et hyper impliqué qui nous a appris et montré tellement de choses. Nous sommes partis pour 2 jours avec Emilio qui a su facilement rendre cette étape de notre voyage incontournable.

Nosotros sacamos el tour al parque Corcovado. Tuvimos un problema con la reserva, pero el equipo fue muy diligente y trataron de resolver la situación lo cual estamos agradecidos porque habiamos ido exclusivamente para ir a este parque. Nuestro guía fue Emilio, quedamos súper contentos por su pasion y amor en lo que hace. No nos pudo haber tocado un mejor guía. Ofrecen otros servicios como rapel y otras actividades.

Simply the best! We had a great adventure at Corcovado Nationalpark from start to finish. Already the communication and tips for preparating before the trip from Sukia were very good. We did the Sirena Overnight Tour with our guide Emilio. His passion and enthusiasm for what he does is so infectious and is a joy to experience. Also his knowledge of the flora and fauna and wildlife was incredible. He kindly took some photos for us and never tired of searching for wildlife for us and showed us a sloth at the last minute before leaving the nationalpark. At some point we forgot we were on a guided hike and thought we were on this experience with a friend. The whole experience was the highlight of our holiday. We can‘t recommend Emilio enough.

We had an excellent adventure in La Sirena (1 night). Especially our guide Evaristo meant a plus for our experience, he was really passionate about animals and was able to find a lot of things we would have never found/spotted without his 6th sense. 100% would recommend!

I’m taking a moment to write a quick note first to thank Sukia and their entire team for this incredible day. Bryan, our guide, was great—very personable, knowledgeable, and answered all our questions. His English is perfect! Even though it was peak season, we didn’t feel like we were all crammed into the same spot. It’s well organized—not everyone is on the same trail—and we got to see lots of animals. Apparently, not everyone was as lucky—it depends on the tour company. Don’t hesitate to book with Sukia; you’re sure to have a great time. Whether it’s a full day, several days, or just a morning, the guides are excellent! 🌺✨

We spent 5 nights in OSA Peninsula organized by Sukia. We’re a family of four with 2 kids ages 11 and 13. All the activities were appropriate yet challenging for them but they loved it all. The highlights were the overnight stay in San Pedrillo and the hike through Corcovado including the waterfall. The kids also loved the canyoning. Bryan was our guide for both and he was amazing: knowledgeable, fun, and very thoughtful… he took care of our family and made sure we had an amazing experience learning about the jungle and spotting wildlife. Thanks Bryan! It was a wonderful experience. Overall Sukia is well organized and we highly recommend it to families looking to experience Costa Rica jungle and eco system in a more authentic way.

Two Night in the jungle and a night walk. We went on a two nights jungle tour in Corcovado with Eduardo. We spent the first night in La Sirena Station and had a really good experience there. Eduardo is a very knowledgeable guide and did a great job at spotting the animals, but also at explaining the ecosystem in it‘s intertwined entirety. The hike to San Pedrillo where we spent our second night was great, but a bit more challenging than the well maintained and even paths of La Sirena. We also did a night tour with Harvey, who is not only a very well educated biologist and guide, but like Eduardo also a very pleasant person to be around. We spottet lots of spiders, frogs and even a Coral snake.

Fantastic 2-day trip - highly recommended We did the 3 day tour into Corcovado, first night in Sirena, second night in Planes with Edouardo as our guide. It was spectacular. We were a group of seven people, which was a good size, and we saw incredibly many animals. However the tour was not just about spotting animals. Edouardo shared his knowledge about the ecosystem, the behaviour and interdependence of different species, so we could really appreciate and pay attention also to the small things, including sounds and smells of the forest. He is a very dedicated guide who really loves nature. We could look and take pictures through his telescope and we made a whatsapp group where we are all sharing our pictures. I can 100% recommend him as a guide. The Sirena and Planes Stations were surprisingly comfortable, after the long and adventurous days we all slept well. The paths in Sirena are easily walkable, well maintained, flat terrain, you have to watch your step because of roots, and yes, it is very hot, you'll sweat a lot, but it is worth it! The way to Planes is wilder and has some climbs and descends and is thus more strenous. The organization was flawless and professional. I am so glad we did this tour and will recommend it to anybody with the physical shape to do it and interest in the wonders of nature.

Animals Galore, community first approach From the pick up in Sierpe to the drop off at Drake Bay airport the experience was top notch. The staff went out of their way to help and make sure we were having a great time. The values from the owner are reflected in each and every person we talked to. David reflected a desire to provide a community of conservation, wishing to partner with others versus vertically integrating his business. This not only spread his values, but it also insure the person you are working with specializes in that area. Meaning your guides are super knowledgeable and your dive team knows when and where to go to provide you with the best experience. Everyone we came into contact with put the animal’s wellbeing front and center. At Sirena we were the first ones out and the last ones back, allowing the most time to see animals possible. While we did not see any cats, we saw every other animal you could imagine (Peccaries, tapirs, all four monkey species: spider, howler, white-faced, and squirrel, sloths, scarlet macaws, crocodiles, toucans, at least three species of bats, tarantulas and more), San Pedrillo was a beautiful station and made you feel more remote with hummingbirds buzzing around as you are, the waterfall afterwards was remote and so nice to share with only a dozen or so others. The canyoning was so much fun. Jumping off rocks, rearing my daughter repel down 3 waterfalls. It was an awesome experience. When we went diving we saw so many mantas and sharks. I can’t tell you what experience was the best of the week. What I can tell you is the variety is unbeatable. We absolutely loved it. No hidden fees, nothing to worry about once the tour cost was paid.

We booked both an overnight trip into Corcovado and a night hike in Drake Bay with Sukia, and the whole experience was seamless. Everything was easy to arrange, the logistics were straightforward, and our guides were phenomenal—knowledgeable, passionate, and fun to spend time with. Couldn’t have asked for better adventures. Absolutely recommend!

We also did a night tour with Harvey which was also a very good experience. I only recommend.

Disappointing and rude tour start Having been forced to attend a mandatory briefing meeting the day before our 1 day tour and meeting their insistence to pay in cash US dollars the briefing was not necessary as it covered the topics sent in the paperwork. However the Sukia office rep suggested they would collect us at the bottom of the sunset lodge steps at 5.50 am. This was his suggestion rather than we walk to the beach meeting point. At 6.10 having not been collected we took the trouble to call them only to be told very abruptly we are expected at the beach point. We pointed it this was not what was agreed and told we were wrong. She continued to argue the point and said she would try and arrange a taxi which eventually arrived at round 6.20. Upon arrival we saw lots of irritated other customers and the Sukia rep still argued we were meant to have walked to the beach pick up. The tour was ok and Harvey did a good job to save the day. But given the heat on this tour and the briefing which said there was a waterfall we could swim at no waterfall materialised so we seem to have gone on the wrong tour. A lengthy supposed apology by text restates that we were at fault but all 6 of us heard this arrangement to be picked up plus the other agent in the office during the briefing. So in summary her rudeness and lack of customer service and the missing waterfall soured our experience.

Bryan showed us the enchanted and rich world of tropical nature, with abundance of species, which he skillfully spotted during the trip. His knowledge is impressive, and it's great to observe the natural way he effortlessly integrates with the jungle. He is respectful towards all the animals and plants and made us aware of how to admire this pure beauty without harming it. He taught us how to recognise the ancient primary forest and the younger secondary forest. Bryan kept a great hiking speed through demanding terrain, but let us rest and take photos as well, explaining to us how to read the jungle. He is also great with kids/teens, engaging and fun. Fantastic English language level! The tour with him will be a lifetime memory. Oh, and he can do a backflip salto into the waterfall pool - which is an essential skill for a jungle experience guide!
