The Panama Day Tour You Will Love

How fun does taking a boat ride to Tranquilo Bay Eco Adventure Lodge on Isla Bastimentos, exploring the trails onsite, climbing up the canopy observation tower, and spending the afternoon in the Caribbean Sea sound? Your guide will tell you about each animal species and share anecdotes about the local celebrities.

You will be on Tranquilo Bay’s grounds on this island adventure, including over 200 acres with several kilometers of forested trails. Many of the islands’ favorite birds, monkeys, sloths, iguanas, lizards, insects, and frogs live here.

Possible bird sightings may include multiple raptors, Montezuma Oropendolas, Red-lored Parrots, hummingbirds, five species of kingfishers, Green Ibis, woodpeckers, honeycreepers, tanagers, pigeons, antbirds, manakins, seedeaters, herons, and in-season, Three-wattled Bellbirds.

Wildlife sightings may include White-faced Capuchins, three and two-toed sloths, green iguanas, basilisk lizards, butterflies, and poison dart frogs.

The wildlife and views from the Bocas Canopy Tower are incredible. Still, the natural history lesson alone is worth the climb. All life zones known to the tropics, from the mountains to the coral reefs below the ocean’s surface, are visible from the Canopy Tower. This vantage point above the forest’s canopy gives you a bird’s-eye view of the entire archipelago.

Go paddling and snorkeling in an environmentally friendly kayak through a Bastimentos Marine National Park. You have the chance to see Dwarf Round Herring, Schoolmaster, Striped Parrotfish, French Grunt, Three-spot Damselfish, Neon Gobies, and other marine life at close range. The endemic bottlenose dolphins love to play in this immediate area.

If you prefer to spend an entire day focused on either the reef or the rainforest, that’s okay. Confirm availability with us and timing so that we can assign a guide to your group. Bocas Adventure at Tranquilo Bay offers rare, curated, and unforgettable experiences you will cherish.
