Taboga Island & Pearl Island Boat Tours
The Pearl Islands in Panama are absolutely stunning and well worth the trip. We offer a few options to get you there.

This means you get to spend the full day at the beach resort! And between the months of July and September, you can combine your visit to Sonny Island with whale watching too!
Of course if the Pearl Islands are a bit too far out for you, we have 2 options going to Taboga Island which is only a short boat trip from Panama City. If crusing is your goal, then our Panama Catamaran Tour to Taboga Island is perfect. But if you want to spend more time exploring Taboga Island, the Taboga Island One Day Tour is the best choice.
