We have lived in Palmilla since 2007 and have been organizing trips to Coiba for 12 years. We have established good relationships with the local fishermen and boat owners in Malena and Palo Seco and with the Parks rangers on Coiba. We can therefore provide the best guided trips. We now have several packages…
The Coiba Island camping tour standard package consists of one night and dinner at our B&B on the eve of departure and two nights at our Coiba camp. You return on the third day around midday.
The Coiba Bahia Honda tour consists of one night and dinner at our B&B on the eve of departure and one night at Bahia Honda which is an island just north of Coiba. From this trip we return around 4 pm, weather permitting.
You can use a shower at our B&B to refresh before you leave, if you leave. A boat with skipper & guide are at your disposal during your stay at Coiba. You always need a boat to get to the good reefs and trails. We normally stick to the program, but sometimes changes may be necessary because of tides, currents, the weather or other circumstances. We can upon request in advance, adapt the program to your specific needs or priorities.
