Bocas del Toro consists of idyllic islands surrounded by the clear, fish-rich waters of the Caribbean. There are cosy bars, restaurants and souvenir shops on the main island of Colón. The relaxed, Caribbean atmosphere and the beautiful beaches invite you to relax and snorkel. On arrival, transfer to the hotel in Bocas Town, the rest of the day is at leisure.

Day 2: Bocas del Toro - boat trip to Red Frog Beach (B)

Today you will discover the marvellous island world of Bocas del Toro! You will be picked up from your hotel in the morning and set off on a boat tour. Keep an eye out for water birds! Continue to Coral Cay, a snorkelling paradise for all ages. Local restaurants built on stilts over the water offer fresh seafood (not included). Afterwards, head to Isla Bastimentos, which is surrounded by mangroves and mostly covered by unspoilt jungle. The island can only be reached by boat. Here lies the famous ‘Red Frog Beach’, named after the red poison dart frogs. Explore the hiking trails or simply relax on the beach and enjoy nature. Return to the main island in the afternoon.

Your destination is the mountain village of Boquete, around 60 kilometres from the border with Costa Rica. Nestled in the green mountain landscapes of Panama, the climate here is cooler than in the plains. The often fine drizzle, called ‘bajareque’ by the locals, gives Boquete its nickname ‘Valley of Eternal Spring’.
