Between June and November, humpback whales travel over 5,000 miles from both hemispheres to breed and calve in Panama’s warm Pacific waters. Departing from Flamenco Marina, this 8-hour private tour aboard a 38ft Todomar takes you to the Pearl Islands, a top whale watching location.
The tour includes opportunities for whale watching, fishing, snorkeling, and island hopping. Visit beaches and islands such as Contadora, Mogo Mogo, Saboga, and Chapera. You may also encounter dolphins, rays, and sea turtles during the trip.
The Todomar is ideal for groups up to 16, with ample shaded seating, a sound system, and open space to enjoy the journey. Fishing gear, snorkeling equipment, drinks, and optional BBQ or catering are included.
This tour is ideal for those seeking an immersive wildlife experience with the comfort of a private group outing. Watch whales from a stable deck, relax between activities, and enjoy a mix of marine life, island exploration, and onboard leisure.

This was the most amazing trip! Highly recommend the experience. We saw multiple humpback whales, one of which breeched about 30 yards from our boat! Adults loved the trip and kids alike. The crew made fresh ceviche on the boat which was delicious and had an amazing recommendation for lunch on one of the islands. If I could give more stars I would! Thanks, Miguel!!
