Have an extra day or two? Stay in Boquete or add an option below and extend your time in paradise! Maybe add both. You deserve it!
Add on 1 – Before joining the rest of the group, arrive a day early and check out San Blass. This is an area of the Caribbean Coast which boasts 365-400 islands (depending on who you ask). It is home to the Kuna Indians, this trip is unlike any other. It gives you the chance to mingle with the Kuna on their coconut-covered islands, enjoy the beaches, learn about Kuna culture, and more.
Add on 2 – Want more beach time? Head to Bocas Del Toro where you’ll experience a Caribbean vibe and pristine beaches. Maybe you’re up for a sailing trip throughout the islands, snorkeling among coral reefs, surfing, or a pick of many other daytrip destinations. Party the night away at the best nightlife spot outside Panama City (featured on Discovery Channel's Wild on Panama).
