PLANNING A PANAMA ADVENTURE VACATION




It's easy to find adventure in Panama, but not as easy to decide where to start. There are rainforests to explore, mountains to climb, waves to surf, and rivers to kayak.

take the plunge

You’ll find some of Panama’s best surfing in places on the shores of Santa Catalina, as well as impressive scuba diving sites. Head to Punta Chame for a windsurfing lesson near exotic mangroves. Go off the beaten path to Isla Bastimentos in the Bocas del Toro region, and find spectacular clear water for snorkeling.

explore the wilds of boquete

Boquete is a hotspot for adventure destinations. Hike to the summit of Barú Volcano — from the top you can see both the Pacific and the Caribbean. Then head to the coastal waters of the Gulf of Chiriquí and go on an unforgettable fishing trip. For more thrills, visit the highland forests for an exciting afternoon of zip lining.

boating adventures

You can find intense rapids in the Río Grande river. Kayak in the historic Panama Canal, or in the pristine waters of the Gulf of Chiriquí. Near the Pearl Islands you can go on a kayaking tour for the chance to see whales.
