Bocas del Toro has the perfect balance between development and raw and natural beauty. To enjoy the best vacations, you can choose from luxury resorts, ecolodges on private islands to surf-style hostels in front of the beach. You can navigate the different islands, fly in the foliage of the jungle in the ziplines, dive among the most diverse reefs of the region, learn to surf in the warm Caribbean Sea or embark on other adventures.
You can explore deserted beaches, corals full of marine life, swim with manatees or meet one of the last monarchies of the American continent. It is impossible to know Bocas del Toro in a single trip, and after your first trip you will meet because so many of our visitors return or never leave.
There is a wide variety of accommodations in Bocas del Toro for your Caribbean vacation. Most of the hotels are located on Isla Colon, Isla Carenero and Isla Bastimentos. There are hotels above the sea, hostels, deluxe ‘glamping’ tents, charming bed and breakfast houses and beach front rentals.
The other islands are more withdrawn and self-sustaining. There are less options for restaurants and there is a night life less what nature has to offer. These accommodations will give you a unique and rich experience with many activities in nature and quiet evenings.
No other destination in Panama offers more adventure than Bocas del Toro. You can fly through the jungle in the Red Frog Beach zipline, walk in the Old Bank forest or from Quebrada de Sal, or ride horses on Isla Colon beaches or through the jungles of San Cristobal. You can discover indigenous communities and learn how they make organic chocolate, traditional handicrafts and typical foods. You can also fish, surf and dive all you want. All this without mentioning the simple act of relaxing in one of the most beautiful beaches of the Caribbean.
