Drake Bay is a remote place, and it is why it is such a special place
HOW TO GET TO DRAKE BAY?
BY PLANE - The Fastest way
Between San Jose and Drake Bay, there are two flights per day, each way (only in high season).
The flight is amazing, as you are in a small plane during 50min, and as you can enjoy the nice view on the pacific cost. You will even see the famous whale tail shaped beach of the Marino Ballena National Parc of Uvita.
