About this trip

EnjoY time in nature connected to the water and jungle on a cool and calm island getaway.

Enjoy staying in accommodations that are run by small businesses and families. Support local initiatives for environmental protection. A local host or two will meet you and help to coordinate your trip and assist you with what you may need. This is a flex option and allows you to choose additional activities during your stay. 


Taisha Banner and I along with a collective of others have been in Bocas since 2013 and are excited to invite you to Bocas del Toro for a transformative experience.


Old Bank or Bastimentos is a very special and unique Afro-Panamanian community in the caribbean.  It is also the home of Panama's first protected marine park.  The park protects forests, mangroves, monkeys, sloths, caiman, crocodile, and 28 species of amphibians and reptiles. Playa Larga (Long Beach), on Isla Bastimentos, that is important nesting site for sea turtles. Four species of endangered sea turtles use it as a nesting site from April through September.
