Snow-white sand and solitary palm trees—the perfect picture of the Caribbean.
Coco Blanco lives up to its name: a tiny island of dazzling white sand with a handful of palms — the desert island of the brochures, small enough to walk around in a couple of minutes. With it come Isla Limón, which gives the Cayos Limones their name, and Maoki, a quiet cay that is perfect for swimming.
This route is built to slow you down. There is little sailing between islands and a long stop at each one, without the feeling of working through an itinerary. First stop around 8:30, island lunch at midday and the last swim in the Natural Pool at 15:30 before the return.
We pick you up at your hotel from 5:00 am by 4x4 and cross the mountains, about two and a half hours of curves. Includes boat with life jackets, a typical lunch and a local guide. The comarca entrance fee is paid separately on the day, in cash or by card to the driver.
Great if you want the desert-island-with-palm-trees photograph and a day with no rush in it.
Maybe not your tour if you came for activity: the plan here is swim, lie down, repeat.

You leave before dawn and there is nowhere to buy anything all day. The full packing list, and what happens if you forget each thing →
With 72 hours or more of notice you get 100 % of the deposit back, or you change the date at no cost. Inside those 72 hours the deposit is no longer refundable, because by then your seat in the 4x4 and the boat is held and nobody else can use it; even so, if you tell us, we try to reschedule. And if we are the ones who cancel, which only happens for real sea safety, you choose between another date at no cost or 100 % of what you paid.
$135 per person, with the door-to-door 4x4, the boat, lunch and the guide included. The comarca entrance fee is paid separately, once: $22 for foreigners and $7 for residents, in cash.
3: Isla Coco Blanco, Isla Limón, Maoki. The order is set by the tide and the sea that day, not by a fixed schedule.
Pickup at your Panama City hotel is around 5:00 am, and you are back in the city late in the afternoon. The early start is set by the mountain crossing and the tide, not by preference.
No. There is little sailing between the three islands and a long stop at each one, without the feeling of ticking boxes. It is built to slow the day down.
It gives its name to the Cayos Limones, the busiest group in the archipelago, and still gets fewer visitors than the islands carrying its surname. Maoki, where you can stand up, completes the day.
What does not depend on this tour — your ID, the comarca fee, route changes forced by the sea — is answered in one place instead of on every tour page. See all the frequently asked questions →
