What should we know about accessibility to Osa Tucan, and are there any specific safety considerations for the area?

Accessing Osa Tucan often involves a domestic flight and a boat transfer, which we find to be part of the adventure, but always arrange transfers directly with the lodge. Regarding safety, we've always felt secure, but recommend being mindful of your surroundings, especially when exploring trails, and always follow local guides' advice regarding wildlife.

What is the typical price point for a stay at Osa Tucan, and do you believe it offers good value for a Costa Rican wildlife experience?
