Disconnect from it all at the Outer Islands of the Bocas del Toro Archipelago

This area of Bocas del Toro has its own feel and vibe, and a visit to these off islands will instantly transport you to a different era and place, where time seems to slow down you can really begin to sense the daily rhythms of the natural world around you.

There are plenty of great fishing holes and reefs teeming with snapper and other fish. This area has a few rustic over-the-sea restaurants that offer local cuisine specials from the catch of the day.

Out just a little further is Cayo de Agua, where you can surf breaks that have no names, and you’ll be your own crowd as most days, these solitary waves go unridden with no one to play among them.

Information

History of Outer Islands

Once considered a place where pirates would hide their treasure, the outer islands of Bocas del Toro are inhabitated by the Ngöbe-Buglé indigenous groups. Since the creation of the Comarca Ngöbe-Buglé in 1997, these islands are home to a few small villages where locals practice artesanal fishing.
