Grab some snacks, a bottle of water, and maybe a couple of beers and jump on our boat, because you're about to venture off into the first national marine park in all of Panama!

Cayos Zapatillas are two islands plucked straight from a postcard and dropped off of the coast of Isla Bastimentos, Bocas del Toro. They are part of the Isla Bastimentos National Marine Park, which was established in 1988 as the first national marine park in Panama.

Join our local guides for a full day of adventure. Snorkel and relax on the beach at the Zapatillas, snorkel and have lunch at Coral Cay, and enjoy a scenic boat ride through the islands. Look out for dolphins and rays jumping out of the water!

We depart at approximately 10 AM and make our way over to Zapatilla one or two (we choose which one based on conditions and the number of visitors), where you can jump in the water and enjoy the reef, relax on the beach, and explore the interior of the island. Once the crowds start coming in, we take off.

We jump back into the boat and head to Coral Cay for snorkeling and lunch (available for purchase) in one of the most picturesque spots in the whole of the archipelago of Bocas del Toro.

We end the day with a scenic boat ride and maybe a stop to spot sloths or have a cocktail!

(We adjust our schedule based on our clients’ wishes and might deviate from the above depending on conditions, but your guide will keep you apprised of any itinerary changes.)
