Private Catamaran Escape: Caribbean Beaches, Snorkeling & Lunch
Experience a day of adventure along Panama’s untouched Caribbean coast, accessible only by sea. With over 15 years of expertise, we’re excited to share our passion for the ocean with you. Your journey begins in historic Portobelo or from your accommodation in Panama City. A quick speedboat ride brings you to our spacious catamaran, where a brief safety orientation sets the tone for the day. Our first stop is Blue Veins. Hop into a dinghy and glide through a peaceful mangrove lagoon before stopping for a refreshing swim or a moment to relax in shallow waters. We then sail to Playa Blanca, famous for its white sand, turquoise waters, and vibrant coral reefs—perfect for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, or paddleboarding. At 1 pm, enjoy a delicious local lunch onboard—special dietary options available. As the tours winds down, we return to Portobelo. Depending on your selected option, continue your journey on your own or enjoy a convenient drop-off at your accommodation in Panama City.
