Islands of Paridas, Bolaños and Gamez

Head to the port of Boca Chica to embark on an adventure through the Gulf of Chiriqui Marine National Park. Get on the boat and get ready to visit white sand beaches in one of the best kept secrets of the Panamanian Pacific. You will stop at Paridas, Bolaños and Gamez Islands, seeing volcanic formations, coral reefs and mangroves, and spotting dolphins, seabirds and whales. Depending on the tour you choose, you can go diving or snorkeling to see corals, sea turtles, nurse sharks or rays.

Fishing on Montuosa Island

Experience the thrill of sport fishing in one of the best destinations in Panamá and the world. Located about 77 kilometers away, Montuosa Island is the furthest island from the Panamanian coast and is a wildlife refuge due to its unique flora and fauna. Entry to the island is prohibited, but its surroundings, on the high seas, are a dream for sport fishing enthusiasts. Here you can catch and release black marlin, sailfish, and giant snappers up to 50 pounds.
