Bocas del Tora | AllCheapFares

 

The Panamanian province of Bocas del Toro is located on the western Caribbean coast and is surrounded completely by water. Overall, the province consists of 9 major islands plus a couple of hundred islets and cays; the latter being uninhabited and made of primarily coral and/or sand. If you're planning on visiting this exquisite land, use the Bocas del Toro Travel Guide provided to help plan your vacation and activities.

Go to one of the luxurious beaches of white sands and turquoise blue waters for a day of snorkeling, surfing, scuba diving, body boarding or just swimming. Spend time swimming with dolphins and viewing other wildlife at Dolphin Bay or hike to a bat cave and walk through water while you admire tons of bats hanging from the cave ceilings. You could also rent a bike and make your way to the other side of the island for a day trip. Or go island hopping and explore some of the outlying smaller islands off the coast as these are part of the Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Sites. 

 

The province and islands are made up of various cultures including Jamaican, Hispanic plus the native Ngöbe and Buglé people. English is a primary language spoken, but it wouldn't hurt to know some Spanish as well. You can virtually visit this area any time of year due to the warm humid weather, but the less rainy months include August to October and February to April. To travel on the islands you can rent a car, ride the bus, or use taxis, and for between island travel, there are water taxi's available too.
