About this trip

Join us for a magical, nature-filled, 7-night retreat in Panama on the beautiful island archipelago of Bocas del Toro, Panama.


We will spend our first night at the Crowne Plaza Airport Hotel in Panama City, and visit the Miraflores Locks of the Panama Canal. Next, we will then fly over to Isla Colon — one of the spectacular islands that make up the Bocas del Toro archipelago — for five nights at the beautiful off-grid Bird Island Bungalows eco-resort. We will end the trip by flying back to Panama City and spend one last night there before heading home feeling refreshed and reinvigorated.


You will wake up to the sounds of the jungle and the ocean each morning and enjoy some delicious local Panamenian coffee. You can join in the optional, twice-daily group yoga classes from your instructor, Jessica Johnson, complemented by a few sessions from an instructor on the island.  


In your free time, the options abound to either hang at the lodge or venture further out on one or multiple of the islands: lounging by the pool, frolicking in the ocean (swimming, sea kayaking, or SUPing), visiting local beaches (including the famed Starfish Beach), hiking around the island, enjoying some pampering spa services, or going island hopping.  


You are sure to leave this retreat feeling refreshed after having taken time to unplug & unwind, enjoy nature, breathe the fresh air, and spend some quality time with great people.

Tara, Jess, and Noelle provided a phenomenal experience for my body and soul! Tara took care of all of the details flawlessly and the yoga classes with Jess and Noelle were amazing - especially the morning classes on the rooftop shala with the most incredible views ever. The accommodations were perfect and the food was delicious, too.

This trip was INCREDIBLE! Everything was extremely organized, from leading up to the trip to the activities while there. I was so impressed with Tara and her organization with accommodations, activities, etc. I wish I could do an adventure every month! I'll never forget this experience and I'm very grateful to now know Tara.
