The island of Coiba is none other than the largest of all the islands in the open sea off the Pacific coast. Belonging to the Panamanian province of Veraguas, this place, immersed in a paradisiacal setting, comprises some forty islets scattered over a vast area. The lush, green nature gives it so much charm that it would be difficult not to be tempted by a yacht charter on Coiba Island.
Coiba Island National Park
In the open sea off the west coast of the Gulf of Panama lies a priceless treasure that was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005. With its privileged geographical location, Coiba Park is home to a wide variety of mammals, birds and plants with a very high rate of endemism. During your stay on the island, a stroll through this protected reserve will also give you the opportunity to observe the evolution of new species.
While nature lovers will be enchanted by hours of walking through the rainforests of this former haunt of sea bandits, budding historians will be delighted by a visit to one of the island's historic buildings. From 1919 to 2004, Coiba Island served as a penal center and housed the most fearsome criminals.
Activities at sea
But the beauty and uniqueness of Coiba are not limited to its lush forests and historical remains. The most beautiful is yet to be seen! Considered one of the most incredible diving sites in the Panama Marine Park, the island of Coiba remains the unmissable meeting place for diving enthusiasts. A pleasant scuba diving session in the open sea will delight children, who will swim among the cetaceans, rays and sharks in their natural environment.
The sea is also the place to be for those who love water sports and trips out to sea. On the program: water skiing, surfing, kayaking and sea fishing. Let's not forget the little getaways that will take you to charming isolated islands such as Isla Granito De Oro overlooking the northeast of Coiba, a meeting place for snorkeling enthusiasts.
