Bocas del Toro Beach Highlights

By Travel Expert: Linda Samuel
  • Pack a week's worth of fun into a day-long sailing excursion through the archipelago. Snorkel, scuba dive, picnic, and hike before returning to land thoroughly exhausted.
  • Wake early to watch locals steer pongas across the island's waterways on their way to work and school.
  • Journey into the jungle where howler monkeys, toucans, parrots, and polka-dot patterned dart frogs hop from tree to tree.
  • Cast a line at Bocas del Toro. Sailfish, blue marlin, red snapper, and snook are lucky catches.
