Pearl Islands Whale Watching

This whale-watching excursion around the Pearl Islands, commencing from Panama City, offers a chance to discover vibrant marine ecosystems and experience a distinctive aquatic landscape.

Tour Overview

At the arranged time, pickup will be available from your Panama City hotel to embark on an exciting whale-watching journey in the Pearl Islands.

After gathering everyone, we'll proceed to either Marina del Hotel Hyatt or Amador, where a boat awaits us.

Our adventure begins with a sailing experience of approximately two hours, during which we will be on the lookout for majestic humpback whales that migrate annually from July to October between the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Stay alert for the breathtaking acrobatic displays of these magnificent beings. Remarkably, they can live for up to 200 years.

Upon arriving at the Pearl Islands, we will transfer to a traditional vessel that will take us to the beach of one of the islands. Depending on the sea conditions, our stops may include Chapera or Chapeca islands.

Next, we will arrive at the shores of Mogo Mogo Island, where you'll have two hours of leisure to explore the island at your own pace, soak up the sun, or snorkel in the stunning waters of the Pacific Ocean.

When you feel it's time to eat, a traditional Panamanian lunch prepared with seasonal ingredients will be waiting for you. Bon appetit!

Once lunch is finished, we will return to our starting point before heading back to your hotel. Our journey together will conclude after approximately nine hours.
