Panama’s western Pacific islands lie off the coast of Chiriquí, with jungle-covered shores, secluded beaches and open ocean, making for rich marine environments. World-class diving sits alongside snorkeling, fishing and private boating, with the chance to see whales in season.
Coiba National Park is the wild heart of the region, its protected waters and surrounding islands best explored with experienced local specialists. Elsewhere, retreats such as Islas Secas and Isla Palenque combine privacy and considered luxury with direct access to the ocean.
The region suits couples and families, divers and marine-life enthusiasts, as well as travelers seeking both adventure and time completely removed from the mainland.
