Detailed Description
Transfer to Playa El Arenal in Pedasí, to board your boat. After a short briefing about responsible whale watching you will start the tour on the Pacific Ocean.
Off Pedasi’s coastline, dolphins are frequently seen and between June and October humpback whales. These whales migrate from cold waters to Panama’s Pacific coast with warmer water temperatures to give birth.
Your captain and guide are trained for responsible whale watching and will enlighten you with many interesting details about the whales, while, with a bit of luck, you are able to observe these giants of the seas.
After the whale watching you will head towards Iguana Island, a wildlife refuge 8 kilometers off the coast. The island is famous for its white sand beach, crystal waters and coral riffs including 17 different types of corals that shelter more than 350 species of fish. You will enjoy the white sand beach for a while before returning to the mainland for a traditional lunch of fish and fried plantains.
The Panama Whale Watching tour is operated only during whale watching season from July to October. Please be aware that even though probabilities of seeing whales on the tour are very high, we are not visiting an aquarium and cannot guarantee whale watching on each tour. We strictly practice responsible whale watching and follow international standards, please follow your guide’s instructions at all time.
