Activities for Nayara Bocas del Toro, Panama.
Having the villa with a boat and Captain is the best way to have the chance of enjoying the archipelago of Bocas del Toro.
The boat and captain will be available from 8 am until late as needed and can navigate the entire archipelago with you.
The captain will not only drive the boat but make sure you always have some food, drinks, towels, and snorkeling gear in the boat. Captains are local and have great experience and expertise in the region and natural wonders.
Admire the dolphins while sipping a glass of champagne accompanied by the wonderful sunset of Bocas. You usually leave the resort at 5:30pm / 6pm for a 2hours boat tour.
First, we will look for dolphins following the ecotour rules.
We will continue to Cayo Coral for snorkeling in the colorful coral gardens.
After , we go to the beautiful Zapatilla Cay where you have lunch (sandwiches, fruits, snacks, drinks...) and can enjoy the beach and explore the island. On the way back we take you to Hollywood to watch the starfish in a quiet area.
Immerge in a Ngabe village to discover how cocoa is cultivated and how they process it to make chocolate in a traditional way. Discover about other plants of the farm as well. You can participate in the process and taste the seeds and chocolate while they are preparing.
Typical lunch included in the tour. If you are 3 persons or more, we add à workshop to learn how to make the chocolate bar (the tasty one !)
Schedule: 8.30 am-1.30pm o 11.15am-4.30pm.
Panama's Premier 100% Organic Chocolate Farm. Learn how chocolate is made and take a leisurely stroll along our beautiful tropical garden trail on our 2 hour eco-tour. Green Acres is a privately owned and operated working chocolate farm and botanical gardens. Nestled on the south shore of Dolphin Bay, their two hour eco- tour introduces you to lush tropical rainforest, beautifully maintained botanical gardens and a vast cacao (chocolate) plantation.
Their 30 acres of paradise provides the perfect environment to learn about the flora and fauna of Panama. Guests regularly see howler monkeys, toucan, sloth and poison dart frogs. For ornithologists they always see a wide variety of birds. Their botanical gardens are a haven for butterflies and other tropical insects.
Learn how cacao is grown in a sustainable manner.
See how it is dried and roasted and turned into 100% organic chocolate and nibs. Samples are provided!
They also produce their own range of chocolate products, all of which can be purchased at the farm.
This really is a day out in tropical paradise that shouldn't be missed!
Located on Isla Bastimentos, Red Frog Beach is a wonderfully mellow white-sand beach. Red Frog is backed by portions of thick rainforest which extend in some places all the way to the water, creating secluded alcoves that are perfect for couples or families who would like a bit of privacy.
The sea here tends to be rough, making for less than ideal swimming conditions. However, a far-reaching sandbar ten meters off-shore creates a calmer area with restaurants and bars.
Not surprisingly, Red Frog Beach is one of the best places in Panama to catch site of the amphibian for which the beach is named. These poison-dart frogs are both beautiful and rare, but with the right pair of eyes (or the help of your captain), you may be able to spot one hiding beneath the leaves or sitting on a tree.
You reach the beach by a well-maintained jungle path and on the way you can see a tons of wildlife (sloth, caimans, red frogs, monkeys...).
IMPORTANT: There is a $5 fee to pay at the entrance as it's located in the national park
Polo Beach on Isla Bastimentos is named after the old man Polo who has lived in a shack on the beach for over 50
years selling fish and lobster plates to the occasional passerby. This area is less popular with tourists as it is farther
away and harder to get to, which makes it all the more desirable for a day trip!
Polo Beach is protected from the open ocean by a barrier reef that stretches out over 50 meters from the shore. This makes the water directly in front of the beach perpetually calm and good for snorkeling.
Monkey Island is a rescue center where you can interact with monkeys that are used to humans.
These monkeys can't go back to the wild so live on this private island with Francine who will tell you everything about them!
Starfish Beach, located in Boca del Drago on Isla Colon, is a picturesque tropical beach with distinct Caribbean flavor. The water around Starfish Beach is bath-tub calm and mostly clear due to its location on the bayside of Isla Colon.
Bird Island off the Northeast corner of Isla Colon is one of the most spectacular sites to see in Bocas and is one of the most popular day tours. Bird Island is famous for its natural beauty and Jurassic Park feel as well as for the rare birds that nest there, including the Red-Billed Tropicbird and Brown Booby.
Directions Bastimentos Island where you can observe dolphins in Bahia Honda bay before plunge into mangroves.
A sensation of green Venice Panamanian jungle version. Open your eyes, you can see monkeys, sloths, caimans and red frogs.
You will then arrive at the entrance of Ngöbé- Buglé Commune of Bahia Honda where a local guide will receive you.
A short hike (20 minutes) in the forest with the guide will allow you to discover the wildlife and plant life before arriving in front of the famous bat cave.
It's time to work up your courage and follow your guide. Don't worry about getting lost as there is only one way out. The temperature of the water varies but it never gets too cold and sometimes it gets up to your chest. Inside the cave you'll see bats hanging from the ceiling and flying around. Besides animal life, you'll also encounter gorgeous stalagmites and stalactites.
You will need a good pair of closed shoes and be careful the path can be muddy.
One of the most magical things you can experience in Bocas del Toro is seeing the glow of Bioluminescence.
From the swirl of a paddle, to the motion of your body as you swim, every movement in the water produces light!
Bioluminescence is the creation of light through a biological process by living organisms. In the Caribbean waters of
Bocas del Toro, there are literally thousands of micro-organisms that have the ability to glow in the dark producing a
one-of-a-kind visual experience.
Your captain take you on a boat trip to the best secret spots to admire this amazing phenomenon.
Explore the island by electric bike!
It's the best way to discover beaches, wildlife and much more at your own pace!
