Idyllic
Wednesday, December 12, 2007
It is a perfect description of the archipelago of Bocas
del Toro Panama. Each of the beaches should be on a
post card. Once you get away from the main island of
Isla Colon, they are basically uninhabited. You
generally do not see any other people on the beaches
unless it is a big holiday weekend.
Mirriam Webster’s definition of idyllic is pleasing or picturesque in natural simplicity. Because most of the islands and peninsulas which are home to the beaches of Bocas del Toro cannot be accessed by automobiles, they have not been exploited in such a manner as to take away their natural simplicity. They are absolutely charming. When you add a picnic lunch and a few beach toys, a day spent on one of our beaches is perfect.
Each of these beaches and the islands which house them suggest a mood of peace and contentment. It is impossible to worry when you are visiting one of these locations. You forget about your responsibilities and day to day life whilst you are on one of these beaches.
You deserve a few days of simple and carefee life.
Choose Bocas del Toro Panama for your family beach vacation. You and your family can relax and enjoy the serenity that engulfs the entire archipelago.

You are invited

What if you received an invitation to inner peace?
Would it be the ultimate indulgence for you? Would it
be nice to have a consoling sense that you were no
longer part of the outside world (at least
temporarily)?
Here in Bocas del Toro Panama you can go to any number of beautiful white sand beaches and lose yourself in the beauty of the moment. The clear blue water set against the deep blue sky is an amazing sight. One could spend hours lost in such a spot.
Each day you can escape from the every day of the outside world. The biggest decision you need to make each day is what time you want to start your day. After breakfast you can head over to any of the different Panama Islands and begin your day of relaxation. You arrive at the beach armed with everything you need for a perfect day on a secluded beach. Picnic lunch, cold beverages, beach chairs, beach toys, sea kayaks, snorkeling equipment, etc. are all carried over to the island for you and placed in a perfect spot where you have access to both the sun and the shade. The time in the water will soothe your body, calm your spirit and feed your soul.

Panama Beach

Zapatilla Cayes. These islands are the most famous of
all our islands here in Bocas del Toro. They are
beautiful little islands which are included in the
Bastimentos National Marine Park. As such they will
never be inhabited but for a park ranger or a select
group of people who stay on the islands for a brief
period of time to help the turtles during nesting
season.
Today we had a group of 13 people we took over to the first Zapatilla Cay. Besides us, I think there were maybe 15 other people there. Of those 15 other people, 6 of them were with a tour operator who parked near where we were and the other 9 people we saw as they took a walk around the entire island.
There are days when we take our guests out to these beaches and we do not see any other people. We have had several groups of guests ask to be dropped off at these beaches in order for them to play “Survivor” for a few hours at a time. Of course, we do send an igloo full of food and drinks, chairs, and a variety of other gear with them. So while it isn’t much of a trial at Survivor; it is a great day.

Eco Adventure Excursion
Sunday, September 16, 2007
Here is a sample itinerary for a Four Night / Five Day
Eco Adventure Extension from either Panama City or
Costa Rica.
Day One:
Arrive Bocas del Toro Panama. Afternoon trip to beach
Unspoiled islands protected by the National Park and home only to a park ranger and a couple of seasonal research scientists studying sea turtles
Day Two:
Snorkeling trip throughout the archipelago to different reef formations
Reef encircles many of the islands with oceanic formations consisting of walls, freshwater caves, tunnels, pinnacles, coral spires and towers, groove and spur, ocean impact reef, sandy ledges and shallow protected patch reef.
Day Three:
Sea kayak trip around various islands
Rock cliffs jut abruptly out of the sea, each having its own unique array of geological formations. Some are undercut by ocean waves on one side with a miniature 30-foot beach and shallow water on the other. Others rise piercingly from the sea and have deeper water on all sides.
Day Four:
All day excursion to indigenous village and isolated beach
A dramatic peninsula covered in dense tropical forest and high peaks descends to the ocean from over 700 feet. A 15-minute walk through the jungle leads you to the longest stretch of white sand beaches in Panama.
Day Five:
Mid day departure from Bocas del Toro Panama.
