Join a private whale watching tour aboard our 27ft Proline between June and November, when humpback whales migrate over 5,000 miles from both hemispheres to Panama’s Pacific coast to breed and give birth. Depart from Flamenco Marina and cruise 1.5 hours to the Pearl Islands, one of the best spots to see these giants in calm tropical waters.
This private charter offers the chance to watch whales and enjoy fishing, snorkeling, and island hopping. Visit beaches and islands like Contadora, Mogo Mogo, Chapera, and Saboga. You may also spot dolphins, rays, and sea turtles.
The Proline is agile and compact, ideal for closer whale encounters. It features a shaded area, cushioned bow, marine stereo, freshwater rinse, and private bathroom. Includes fishing gear, snorkeling gear, drinks, and optional BBQ setup. A fast, flexible tour for wildlife lovers seeking a close-up experience in Panama’s marine paradise.

Itinerary
- Our whale watching tour takes us to the Pearl Islands archipelago, the main nesting area for the humpback whales that visit the Panamanian Pacific. We will respectfully follow the whales we encounter, having care of not disturbing them. As the vessel is quite maneuverable, we can approach them a lot while still maintaining the correct distance. As this is a private charter, your group gets to decide how long would you like to see the wales. There's also the possibility of doing snorkeling, fishing (all equipment onboard) and of course some island hopping (the archipelago offers beautiful white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters).
