This environmental fee helps with the preservation and maintenance of the park and is paid directly to Coiba National Park on the day of the trip. This fee is not included in the price and must be paid IN CASH before you board the boat. You pay the fee for each day you are in Coiba National Park. If you are a non-Panamanian taking the 3 days, 2 nights expedition, you will need to pay $80 USD in cash before the boat leaves.

All guests of Discover Coiba must bring a valid passport on the boat. Once we are inside the park, the rangers will check the date of the stamp in your passport to make sure you are in the country legally. You will not be permitted to board the boat without a valid passport (or cedula for Panamanian citizens and residents).

Panama’s Coiba National Park is incredible and exotic and was identified as a UNESCO world heritage site in 2005. Set along the Pacific coast near the Gulf of Chiriquí, this massive park protects the country’s largest island and some of the most biologically rich waters in the world. The park is home to many marine species, including dolphins, humpback whales, sperm whales, orcas, whale sharks, manta rays, sea turtles, and white-tip reef sharks. 760 species of fish have been recorded here, including Barracudas, Snappers, Amberjack, and Marlin.

Coiba Island is covered in over two-thirds of virgin forests, most of which are moist tropical forests. 40 species of mammals have been spotted on the island, including howler and white-faced Capuchin monkeys, white-tailed deer, and Coiban agoutis. 147 species of birds have been identified, including the scarlet macaw, which is becoming increasingly rare in Panama. Amphibians and reptiles are also abundant, including large crocodiles, snakes, and iguanas.

Animal Sightings Are Not Guaranteed! We will be adventuring through nature, the home of wild animals. Remember, when planning the length of your trip, the more time you spend in nature, the more animal encounters you will likely have.

The Coiba Hotel Experience is a sociable experience shared with people from all over the world.

Overnight hotel expeditions are suitable for children 5 years old and above.

There is no upper age limit, all you need is an adventurous spirit!

Our crew members are happy and ready to help any explorers who are worried about their physical capabilities in the water. We also have life jackets that can be worn while swimming.

Warning – This expedition is not for everyone! We are exploring through nature and may experience bad weather, rough waves, jellyfish stings, mosquito bites, and/or sunburn. A sense of adventure and a positive attitude are highly recommended.

We will meet at our office on the main street of Santa Catalina next to the Yolo Pizza Restaurant on Principal Street across from Bodhi hostel at 8:00 am. We will return on the last day of the trip sometime in the late afternoon. Come in and see us in the office between 3-6:30 pm before the day of your scheduled trip to check in.
