Along one of the Zapatilla Cayes here in Bocas del Toro Panama you can go snorkeling along an ocean cliff. You can take a leisurely walk from the leeward side of the island over to the windward side and enter the water. You swim along the Panama Island until you reach the cliff. Once you reach the cliff you can dive down a bit and encounter a large variety of fish. We help you locate the spot to enter the water and then accompany you to the cliff itself.
We had a couple out there yesterday who visited several spots in Bocas del Toro during their vacation. They both said that this beach and this snorkeling experience were the best they have had in Panama so far.
The Zapatilla Cayes are on the outer edge of the archipelago and the Bastimentos National Marine Park. Many of the boat captains and tour guides from Isla Colon do not venture out to these beautiful islands. The guides which do go as far as the Zapatillas generally do not accompany their clients on to the island. They drop them off and anchor or circle the island for some period of time and then return to pick them up. Their clients will have a wonderful beach experience. Their snorkeling experience is dependent upon chance. As it is up to the clients to find the spots to snorkel on their own.
As a Bocas del Toro Hotel, we try not to leave anything to chance – if we can improve upon your vacation by advance planning and guiding, then we do so.
