Mobile ticket

Set sail with us to explore hidden Caribbean gems only accessible by sea! With 20 years of experience navigating these waters, we’ll guide you to vibrant marine spots far from the crowds.

This tour explores two stunning and contrasting locations: Playa Drake, known for its incredible snorkeling, and Venas Azules, a turquoise lagoon surrounded by mangroves. Both are part of the unspoiled Portobelo National Park, rich in biodiversity and natural beauty.

If you choose the pickup option, we’ll collect you directly from your hotel and take you to the historic town of Portobelo—founded in 1597 by the Spanish to defend against pirate invasions. From there, we’ll cruise toward these breathtaking destinations on a catamaran, raising the sails whenever the wind allows.

During the trip, you’ll have the chance to swim, kayak, paddleboard, or simply unwind on the catamaran or beach. Perfect for adventurous travelers looking for off-the-beaten-path experiences and a deep connection with nature!

  • Catamaran Playa Blanca

    The area that we went to on the catamaran is beautiful. The time spent on the catamaran is too short versus the drive to get to and from the area. Jenny- thanks for the on time communication over the entire trip.

  • Great peaceful trip. Beautiful scenery

    Although I didn’t mind people should know that you need to move between boats on this trip. The toilet on the boat was not working but we were notified and given lots of opportunities for a bathroom. Jenny made an amazing lunch. The boat crew was great too!

  • Fun on the water

    A great day, trip was as described. I enjoyed being on the water. Be aware this is about an hour drive one way from Panama City, while fun, it’s a long day.

  • What a great crew and boat

    Fantastic experience the captain and the crew were very attentive. The food was great. I’m vegan and they made me a special dish. They took us to some very nice spots to go snorkeling. The boat was much larger than I thought and in good condition and everyone seemed passionate about the work they were doing.

    Not what we expected! Not worth $200/person. Catamaran was very small and very run down. Spent more time in the car then on the sea. Food was ok. No drinks. Other excursions offer more bang for your buck.

  • Really fun experience.. wish the boat was bigger to accommodate more people on the roof

    Wosrt experience ever. Totally not worth it. The food was 2-3 / 10. The catamaran is very small and old. In addition, they charge us a fee that doesn’t make any sense

    This was a well organized tour with a lot of stuff to do. Unfortunately, the day was rainy, but it did not take away from the experience for me. I would recommend this!

    It was a good experience, the captain is friendly, only the captain speaks English, the road is long are about 2 hours journey to reach portobelo but the transport is comfortable. The catamaran is quite small and is an old model but still enjoyable are however take it into account. It is a trip to relax and enjoy the view, you can also swim a bit and snorkel, even hopefully you get to see monkeys and sloths. The food is good but if I recommend that you bring your own snacks as you could go hungry

    The day was a success. The captain and his 1st mate were very obliging. They worked very hard to ensure we had a great time and that our needs were met. The weather was great and the sloths in the trees at Playa Blanca were an added bonus. Snorkeling at Playa Blanca was the best.
