Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Cocos Island?
Cocos Island is a protected national park and UNESCO World Heritage site, so the best and only way to "stay" on Cocos Island is aboard a liveaboard dive boat.

These specialised vessels serve as your floating hotel, providing accommodation, meals, and transportation to the island's dive sites. They typically depart from Puntarenas, Costa Rica, and the journey to Cocos Island takes around 36 hours. Once there, the boats anchor in designated bays, such as Chatham Bay or Wafer Bay, providing direct access to the island's pristine waters and dive locations.

These liveaboards are ideal for experienced divers and nature enthusiasts. You'll spend your days exploring the rich marine life, including hammerhead sharks, manta rays, and whale sharks, and your evenings relaxing on board. The boats offer comfortable cabins, often with private bathrooms, and amenities like dining areas, lounges, and sun decks. Some even feature high-end fitness equipment or photography stations.

Couples looking for an adventurous and unique dive holiday will find liveaboard trips to Cocos Island particularly appealing.
When is the best time to go to Cocos Island?
The best time to go to Cocos Island is typically during the dry season, from December to May, or the shoulder months just outside of that, like June and November.

The dry season offers the calmest seas and clearest waters, which are ideal for diving and snorkelling. You're more likely to have sunny days and excellent visibility, making it easier to spot the abundant marine life, including hammerhead sharks, manta rays, and whale sharks. This period is particularly good for those looking for an easy experience with predictable weather conditions, ensuring your dive excursions run smoothly.

The shoulder months of June and November can also be excellent, as the weather is transitioning. While there might be a bit more rain than in the peak dry season, the marine life is still very active, and you might find slightly fewer crowds.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival.
