Panama: Taboga Island Catamaran Cruise with Lunch & Open Bar
About this experience

Explore the serene waters of Panama on an all-inclusive day tour on a Mega catamaran. Dive into the water for a refreshing swim before moving to the Island of Taboga for a beach and town visit. Enjoy morning snacks, lunch, and open bar. After reaching Taboga, sail to the backside of the island to a secret spot, where a bay with beautiful natural views is waiting for you. Jump off the Catamaran and enjoy your first swim (there are also stairs to access the water if you do not want to dive in). After some fun in the water, climb back onto the Catamaran to drink a cold beer. Rest in the boat's nets or dance with the crew while you sail towards the town side of the island. With an easy disembark at the Island´s dock, you can head to the beach or visit the small and historical village of Taboga. Spend time on the beach relaxing or learn about the historical landmarks the Island has to offer. After your beach and town visit, hop back aboard for lunch with Chicken in Tomato Sauce, Rice, Vegetable Salad, Potato salad, and Pomodoro Pasta. Sip on drinks from the open bar like rum, vodka, Seco Herrerano, local beer, mixers, and cocktails. If the wind conditions are right, open the sails and continue the party as you cruise along the open water.
