Schedule
Starting in the 1600s, when the Spaniards discovered that the islands were rich in pearls, many politically important and wealthy people, as well as celebrities, continued to keep these islands on the map as a destination for the rich and famous. Nowadays it is still a location for several films and TV shows; it is not uncommon to meet a crew shooting a movie on this semi-deserted island. We propose to take a break from the busy avenues of Panama City to dip your toes in the white sand of this paradise on the ocean.
The itinerary
6:45 AM: Check-in opens at Isla Flamenco, Amador, where the fast ferry will depart to Isla Bolaños, located in the Gulf of Panama about 55 km from the mainland. Boarding and departure are at 7:30 AM. During the trip, you may see large ships heading to the Canal, dolphins swimming gently in the moderate waves, and whales migrating from July to October. Las Perlas Archipelago is a group of over 180 islands of different sizes, with about 40 islands inhabited and the rest completely uninhabited.
Arrival at Isla Bolaños dock after approximately 2 hours. Disembark on the island to enjoy the calm turquoise waters and the palm-fringed white beach. At the visitors’ disposal are beach chairs and umbrellas, bathrooms and showers specially designed for the installation, and a covered dining area with tables and benches where we will enjoy lunch, including fish or chicken or meat, water, and cold tea open bar (juices and alcoholic beverages are available for purchase at the bar). The resort offers kayaking, paddleboarding, and snorkeling equipment for an extra charge to explore the open water area of Isla Bolaños.
Time available before boarding the ferry leaves at 3:15 PM. Return to Amador dock around 5:00 PM.
