What to Expect

In addition to dolphin watching, the cruise includes exhilarating tours around the Gulf of Montijo and its Islands.  These coastal waters are also among the best in Panama for sightings marine and migratory birds from North and South America, occasionally we can see crocodiles, raccoons among others are the wildlife wonderland declared as RAMSAR site.

As an additional option to the original tour, we offer you the memorable experience of a full day at sea around Isla Cébaco or Coiba National Park, part of the day we dedicate to the search for whales, the season begins from June to October every year. In addition to humpback or humpback whales and spotted dolphins, we also have a good opportunity to sea turtles and other marine animals in this area. A wonderful opportunity to get closer to their natural habitat.

These islands have some of the Top Beaches of Panama, with great & wild white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and palm tree-laden where crocodiles roam and you can listen to monkeys over the trees, and epics snorkel spots, Coiba is a hotspot for whale sharks, humpback whales, sea turtles, stingrays and hundreds of other marine species, It is a magical place, that also was declared as a UNESCO world heritage site since 2005, is like a time capsule that stopped 100 ago.

The beauty and natural value of this place are incalculable, making it a must-visit destination in Panama. The most impressive part of the region is not what can be seen at first glance, it is what is hidden in its thick jungle and the great underwater biodiversity, which still keeps many secrets.

Over 30 species of whales and dolphins have been documented in Panama’s waters, offering whale watchers the opportunity to observe many different species.  Panama is one of the few countries in the world that hosts humpback whales from both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

Among the 12 species of dolphins found in the tropical waters of Panama, the most common are the Pantropical spotted dolphin and the large Pacific bottlenose dolphin. Additional species include the spinner dolphin, short-beaked common dolphin, long-snouted spinner dolphin, rough-toothed dolphin, and the striped dolphin.

Although species sightings depend on the weather conditions and time of year and can’t be guaranteed, nothing beats the anticipation of spotting one of these impressive wild animals.

In our tours there is always time for good food, we invite you to make a stop on Leones Island, to taste Don Pedro’s famous seafood platter.

Group Size

Our boats have a maximum capacity of 7 adults comfortably seated. With enough space to move around and walk during the entire trip. However when it comes to fishing, things change, for safety and to have enough space to fight with the fish, the groups are not more than 4 fishermen.
