Top Colon On the Water

The Caribbean side of Panama was frequented by pirates and Spanish conquistadors alike. Now, the history and natural beauty of this part of the country make it a compelling destination for curious travelers. On this full-day tour from Panama City, visit the port town of Portobelo (part of a region protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site) which was built by the Spanish in 1597 and played an important role in their extraction of silver and gold from the Americas. From the dock, take a speedboat to a waiting catamaran to tour the Caribbean coast including Blue Veins Island and Drake Beach. Experience the calm clear water while snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding to appreciate mangroves, coral reefs, and reef fish.
