Tours and Expeditions


Panama Bird Island tunnels

Isla de Los Pajaros (Bird Island)

Situated just off the northern coast of Isla Colon, this island serves as a very important nesting/resting site for several bird species that migrate between North and South America. The island itself is comprised of large rock faces and lush green landscape, with birds often clearly visible from the boat; at certain times of the year it is possible to see offspring. The island contains one large tunnel, which is often used for photographs depicting the island; one can snorkel through the tunnel.

Bastimentos Island (National Park)

The western tip of Bastimentos Island lies just east of the town of Bocas del Toro, clearly visible from the waterfront. The island of Bastimentos is approximately the same size as Isla Colón, however, very little of it is accessible. In fact, much of the island has been designated as a National Park.

Bahia Honda

This tour starts with a boat ride to a small indian village, at which point you'll get into a small Indian cayuco. You'll then proceed on a jungle excursion, up river, for approximately one hour, during which time you might see sloths, and a wide variety of other tropical animals. Upon reaching the drop-off point, you'll enjoy a short 30 minute jungle hike. Bastimentos

Zapatillo Keys

These two beautiful islands are located on a coral platform that is defined, toward the open sea, by the breakers that are formed as the waves crash on the reef. Zapatillas Keys are located inside the Bastimentos Island National Marine Park. They are famous for their beautiful beaches, crystal clear waters, coral reefs and small but shady forests. They are named after a fruit: the zapatila.

The western island, Zapatillas Minor, is the occasional base of scientists and conservationists, researchers of the marine turtle. The leatherback and the hawksbill turtles also come to lay their eggs, in season, on these beaches.

Coconut, banana, cocoa, mango, papaya and other assorted tropical fruit farms are close by and available to visit and sample a variety of delicious exotic fruits.
