Access to some reefs and trails depend on the tides (the difference can be as much as 5 m/17 ft), so some days are better for visiting Coiba than others.
We have to contemplate the Covid-19 Pandemic and although Coiba was open briefly for daytrips only, it closed again and there is no date foreseen for the opening. We are open and welcome visitors (we soon should have the biosecurity certificate), but we will only provide trips within Mariato District including Cerro Hoya, Mangroves, Pelagics and Observation and Drawing courses.

Since we partner with locals, we used to avoid separating staff from their families on important holidays, so we don’t normally go to Coiba on Panama’s Mother’s Day (8 Dec); Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year; We avoid Carnival and Easter weekend. However for 2021 we make an exception.
If you wish to plan ahead for your vacation and Coiba trip: Tides are good the weeks of new and full moons (low tide mid morning) and also just before and up to the first and last quarter moons (low tides in the afternoon). But please contact us!
