Tour Details

We'll meet at the 3R dock on Avenida H Norte. There, a boat will be waiting to take us to Cayo Zapatilla and Cayo Coral, two true paradises on the north coast of Panama.

We'll sail for just over half an hour through emerald-coloured waters to Dolphin Bay. Keep your eyes wide open! If conditions are favourable, we'll be lucky enough to spot the dolphins that inhabit this area of Panama.

We'll continue sailing for another half hour until we reach Cayo Coral, an islet surrounded by a coral reef and waters that shimmer between green and turquoise. There, you will have 2 hours of free time to enjoy the beach and have lunch. You will also be able to use the snorkeling equipment we provide to explore the local marine life.

Next, we'll continue sailing to Cayo Zapatilla. After a 20-minute journey, we'll arrive at a beautiful white-sand beach. You'll have 2 hours of free time to swim in the crystal-clear waters and explore the island's lush tropical vegetation. 

Finally, we'll sail back to the dock, where we'll arrive 6 hours after setting sail.
