Whale Watching Gulf of Chiriqui:

Whale watching in Panama is a relatively new fad, but whale watching tours in the Gulf of Chirqui are growing every year. The warm waters of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Central America are some of the best whale & cetacean spotting zones in the world. The Gulf of Chiriqui National Marine Park is a protected space and one of the few places in the world you can find humpback whales migrating 1000´s of miles from both poles.

Whale watching in the Gulf of Chiriqui is not just about encountering whales. Our guides will help you spot other marine life including dolphins, manta rays and sea turtles on this whale watching journey. The Gulf of Chiriqui Marine Park is also home to many uninhabited islands which are known breeding zones for rare regional land-based wildlife. Your quest for whales will take you past many of these scenic islands.

Isla Bolaños Beach Break:

Speaking of scenic islands, this Panama whale watching trip includes a beach break on one of the most scenic islands in the Gulf of Chiriqui, Isla Bolaños. Isla Bolaños is an uninhabited island of mangroves, tropical beaches and nature trails for you to explore. Bolaños Island is not only stunning, but teaming with wildlife too!

Once we arrive to Isla Bolaños, you can enjoy beach-side activities, explore the nature trails or simply relax in a hammock while our crew prepares lunch. You may even get lucky and spot whales from the comfort of your hammock!
