Isla Coiba is Panama's largest island (503 km²) and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2005. Once a penal colony, the island is now a pristine national park with virtually untouched tropical forest and some of the most biodiverse waters in the Eastern Pacific.

The day-long trips depart from Santa Catalina by boat (45-60 minutes) and typically include: • Snorkeling at two or three reef sites with crystal-clear visibility • Beach time on pristine white-sand beaches • Jungle hiking through primary forest where you may spot howler monkeys, scarlet macaws, and the endemic Coiba agouti • Lunch prepared on the beach by your guide

We also arrange trips to nearby Isla Cebaco (great for kayaking), Isla Leones, and Isla Gobernadora. Full-day trips cost approximately $60-80 per person including park fees, gear, and lunch. The park entrance fee ($20) is included in most tour packages.
