Panama Beach Vibes and Coastal Luxury Escapade

Welcome to Panama! Upon arrival at Tocumen International Airport (PTY), you’ll be greeted and transferred by private vehicle to your hotel in the heart of Panama City. Sit back and relax as the city skyline comes into view — a blend of modern towers and historic charm. Check in, refresh, and take the evening at your own pace. Whether you opt for a leisurely stroll through Casco Viejo or a sunset drink with skyline views, your Panamanian adventure has officially begun.

Dive into the heart of Panama City with a guided full-day tour showcasing its vibrant history and modern energy. Begin in Casco Viejo, the city's charming colonial quarter, where cobbled streets, colorful facades, and hidden plazas tell stories of the past. Explore key landmarks before heading to the iconic Miraflores Locks for a front-row seat to the engineering marvel that is the Panama Canal. Watch massive ships navigate the locks and explore the interactive visitor center. Wrap up your day with scenic views along the Amador Causeway or a local lunch with canal-side vibes.

Rise early for a full-day adventure to the picture-perfect San Blas Islands, home to crystal-clear waters, white-sand beaches, and the vibrant Guna Yala culture. After a scenic drive and boat ride, spend your day island-hopping across palm-fringed shores, snorkeling vibrant reefs (including a sunken shipwreck!), and relaxing in natural swimming pools dotted with starfish. A freshly prepared island-style lunch is included, giving you a true taste of the tropics. This unforgettable escape is the perfect contrast to the city buzz — pure bliss, just hours from Panama City.

Today, trade city streets for island vibes as you’re transferred to Flamenco Pier for a scenic ferry ride to Contadora Island, the crown jewel of Panama’s Pearl Islands. Watch the city skyline fade into ocean blues during the 90-minute journey across the Pacific. Upon arrival, check into your island accommodation and spend the afternoon unwinding on pristine white-sand beaches, swimming in turquoise waters, or strolling the peaceful coastline. With its barefoot luxury and laid-back charm, Contadora invites you to slow down, sip something cool, and soak in the serenity of your island escape.

Wake up to the sound of gentle waves and island breeze — today is all about doing as much or as little as you like. Explore Contadora’s hidden coves, snorkel vibrant coral reefs, rent a golf cart to cruise the island’s quiet lanes, or simply lounge under a palm tree with a book in hand. Optional boat tours to nearby uninhabited islands are also available. Whether you crave soft adventure or uninterrupted relaxation, Contadora offers the perfect setting to recharge in barefoot luxury.

After a final slow morning on Contadora Island, it’s time to return to the mainland. Board the mid-morning ferry back to Flamenco Pier, soaking in panoramic views of the Pearl Islands one last time. Upon arrival, a private transfer will be waiting to take you back to your hotel in Panama City. After returning to Panama City, immerse yourself in the vibrant nightlife of Casco Viejo with an evening at Pedro Mandinga Rum Bar. Located near Plaza Herrera, this establishment is celebrated for its artisanal rums crafted from raspadura—unrefined pure cane sugar—sourced from family farms in Chiriquí. The bar offers an inviting atmosphere where you can enjoy a rum tasting session, sampling a variety of their signature rums while learning about the distillation process and the stories behind these spirits. Complement your tasting with Latin-inspired dishes and perhaps stay for live music, making for a memorable Panamanian evening.

This morning, depart Panama City as you’re transferred to Albrook Domestic Airport for your short flight to David, the gateway to Panama’s Chiriquí Province. Upon landing, a private transfer awaits to whisk you to Boca Chica, a serene coastal village nestled between rainforest and sea. Check into your hotel overlooking the Gulf of Chiriquí and take the rest of the day to unwind. Whether you're lounging poolside, exploring lush surroundings, or sipping something cold with an ocean view, the pace slows here — nature leads the way.

Wake to the sounds of nature in Boca Chica and set off on an unforgettable island-hopping tour through the stunning Gulf of Chiriquí Marine National Park. Explore uninhabited islands like Isla Bolaños and Isla Gámez, where crystal-clear waters and white-sand beaches invite you to swim, snorkel, and soak up the sun. Enjoy a beachside picnic lunch and keep an eye out for dolphins, tropical birds, and — in season — even humpback whales. With a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, today is your chance to fully unplug and embrace Panama’s wild coastal beauty.
