⚠️ CRITICAL: The 8:30 AM Rule
There is only ONE bus that connects with the boat. You MUST take the 8:30 AM Tracopa bus to Sierpe. If you miss it, you miss the boat.
1 Bus: San José to Sierpe
Go to Terminal Tracopa (Plaza Víquez). Ask for a ticket to “Sierpe” (via Costanera). Arrive at 8:00 AM to buy your ticket.

2 The Boat: Sierpe to Drake
The bus arrives at Sierpe (~1:30 PM) right next to the dock. The boat captain will be waiting. Pay the $20 USD directly to the captain (Cash only).
💎 Insider Logistics
The Wet Landing: The boat lands on the beach, not a dock. You will jump into knee-deep water. Wear shorts and sandals!
