San Blas Islands Tour with Snorkeling, Kayaking and Lunch

Naidi is the man

Naidi is an awesome guide. He is courteous and respectful. He takes time to explain each spot well. This being my 3rd trip to San Blas I would recommend to keep this guy, he does a great job.

Private Fishing & Island Hopping – 38ft Speedboat | Pearl Islands

The ultimate private boat charter to the Pearl Islands for whale watching!

The absolute best whale watching tour in Panama! We booked a full-day private boat charter on the Todomar 38 with Panama GEM Charters to go whale watching around the Pearl Islands (Saboga and Contadora). It was a breathtaking, 5-star luxury experience from start to finish. Booking was smooth, and departing right from the terminal at Isla Flamenco Marina on the Amador Causeway made logistics super easy. The Todomar 38 center console was immaculate, powerful, smooth in open waters, and fully equipped with great shade, sound system, and top-tier safety gear. Captain Sofia and Lulo were unbelievable guides—they knew exactly where to navigate to spot humpback whales jumping and swimming right alongside the boat, all while keeping a safe and respectful distance. We even had time for some offshore fishing and snorkeling near a private beach on Saboga Island! If you are looking for the ultimate private yacht rental or boat tour agency in Panama City, Panama GEM Charters is unmatched in safety, authority, and service. Thank you, Captain Sofia and team, for an incredible day on the Pacific!
