There are 2 routes that stop at Isla Coco Blanco, all leaving Panama City on the same day. They cost the same, $135 per person, so price does not decide here: what decides is which other islands you want with it.
Sorted cheapest first. All include the 4x4 from your hotel, the boat, lunch and the guide.
On top of any of these prices comes the comarca entrance fee: $22 per foreigner and $7 per resident, in cash and once only.
Two routes reach Coco Blanco, both at $135, and both move around the west of the archipelago. The difference is whether the day stays there or crosses over.
The Coco Blanco Escape does not leave the area: it adds Isla Limon and Maoki, its direct neighbours. The Romantic Escape does leave: it pairs it with Chichime, also in the west, and with Pelicano, which already belongs to Cayos Limones and sits on the other side.
Since they cost the same, the choice is between concentrating on the west or splitting the day between two areas. Neither gives you less time on Coco Blanco.
Between $135 and $135 per person depending on the route, with the 4x4 from your hotel, the boat, lunch and the guide included. The comarca fee is separate: $22 foreigners and $7 residents, in cash.
The day splits roughly four hours of water time between the islands on the itinerary, so no stop lasts the whole day. The fewer islands the route has, the longer at each: which is why the cheapest is not always the one that gives you least.
With a deposit, and the rest is paid on the day of the tour. Cancellation is free up to 72 hours before: you get 100 % of the deposit back or change the date at no cost.
How far the day reaches. The Coco Blanco Escape stays in the west with Isla Limon and Maoki; the Romantic Escape crosses to Cayos Limones to add Pelicano, on top of Chichime. Both cost $135.
No. Coco Blanco is an island in the west of the archipelago and Cayos Coco Bandero is a group of cays in another area, with tours of its own. The names look alike; the days do not.
