About this experience

The island of Taboga is located about twenty kilometers from the coast of Panama City in the Pacific Ocean. The activity starts at 8:45am (check-in 30 minutes before). We sail to the back of the island of Taboga and on the way you will be able to see the Bridge of the Americas, the Amador Causeway and the Bay of Panama. We anchor in a virgin bay around 10:45am. Clients take advantage of the sea and the sun to bathe and relax until lunchtime. Musical atmosphere and open bar all day. At 11:45am we start sailing towards the main beach and the town of Taboga. We anchor in front of the main beach and the town of Taboga around 12:15pm. We serve lunch on the catamaran with table service on crockery (no plastic). After lunch around 1pm, clients have the option of going down to the island to visit the town and take advantage of the beach or to continue enjoying themselves on the catamaran. At 3:15pm we pick up the clients who went down to the island and we start sailing back to Panama City. Musical atmosphere and open bar all day. Disembark at 5pm.

"This tour was so much fun! The guides were hilarious and kept the drinks flowing all day. You don’t need to bring your passport or even a copy of it, you just have to know the number when you sign in. The water is filled with sea anemone and my legs are itchy and red. 8 hours was a bit long, energy was low at end…"
