It is located in the Pacific Ocean, in the Gulf of Chiquiri, and forms the Coiba National Park, famous for its great marine and jungle biodiversity. In fact, its coral reefs attract hundreds of divers every year in search of a unique experience. At the best-known reef, Las Damas Reef, you can swim among manta rays, hammerhead sharks, whales and many other species of fish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this post, we tell you everything you need to know to organise your trip to this paradisiacal destination. Although diving is the favourite activity for tourists visiting the island, the truth is that there is much more to do such as kayaking, hiking through the jungle, sunbathing on the white sandy beaches and enjoying nature in its purest form. Here&#8217;s how to get to the islands and other tips on how to stay, eat well and get around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Post content<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69f295903e75f\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #000000;color:#000000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #000000;color:#000000\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69f295903e75f\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/panama\/things-to-do-coiba-island\/#What-are-the-best-places-to-see-on-Coiba-Island-Panama\" >What are the best places to see on\u00a0Coiba Island Panama?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/panama\/things-to-do-coiba-island\/#1-Diving-at-Las-Damas-Reef\" >1.

Its coral reefs lapped by crystal-clear waters are home to exotic marine life such as hammerhead sharks, whales, manta rays, sea turtles and colourful fish. It&#8217;s a real wonder that you can enjoy even if you&#8217;re not an expert diver, as snorkelling excursions are also organised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These excursions are booked from Santa Catalina, where in addition to transport and equipment, they will arrange the permits to access the island. There are many companies that organise daily departures, but bear in mind that some of them don&#8217;t leave until the group is full. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery

Sun and beach in Coiba<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The postcard-perfect beaches of Coiba are the perfect place to relax, unwind and forget all your worries. Long white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters are surrounded by thick vegetation where turtles lay their eggs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most famous beaches are Playa Damas and Playa Blanca, but there are other beaches a little further afield that are also worth seeing, such as Granito de Oro or Rancheria on the nearby islands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Coiba-Island-jungle-tours\"><\/span>3. Coiba Island jungle tours<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Coiba National Park is considered a World Heritage Site because of the interesting array of wildlife and vegetation species that inhabit it and make its ecosystem unique in the world. In the island&#8217;s jungle, probably the densest you&#8217;ve ever seen in your life, you can see a lot of interesting birds and plants, very different from what we are used to seeing in Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two viewpoints you can walk to: Cerro Gambute and Cerro de La Torre. Both are reached by beautiful, well-marked trails that are less than 2km long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiking through the jungle is a must-do on the island of Coiba Panama. On your walk you&#8217;ll encounter monkeys, iguanas and even crocodiles. It&#8217;s an experience not to be missed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex

Both share their white-sand landscapes, turquoise-blue waters and coconut groves, but Isla Granito is even less built-up and only accessible for a few hours a day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The island is also a great place for scuba diving, and its underwater scenery is considered one of the most beautiful in the top 10 in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"28851\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/panama\/things-to-do-coiba-island\/attachment\/what-to-see-around-coiba-island\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-to-see-around-Coiba-Island.jpeg?fit=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"768,1024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"What to see around Coiba Island\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-to-see-around-Coiba-Island.jpeg?fit=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-to-see-around-Coiba-Island.jpeg?fit=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"28851\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-to-see-around-Coiba-Island.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"What to see around Coiba Island\" class=\"wp-image-28851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-to-see-around-Coiba-Island.jpeg?w=768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-to-see-around-Coiba-Island.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">@passporter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"28852\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/panama\/things-to-do-coiba-island\/attachment\/what-to-do-around-coiba-island\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-to-do-around-Coiba-Island.jpeg?fit=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"768,1024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"What to do around Coiba Island\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-to-do-around-Coiba-Island.jpeg?fit=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-to-do-around-Coiba-Island.jpeg?fit=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"28852\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-to-do-around-Coiba-Island.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"What to do around Coiba Island\" class=\"wp-image-28852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-to-do-around-Coiba-Island.jpeg?w=768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-to-do-around-Coiba-Island.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">@albamaronas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Rancheria-Island\"><\/span>2. Rancheria Island<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rancheria Island is considered the little sister of Coiba Island, so many people call it &#8220;Coibita&#8221; despite being the third largest of the archipelago. It shares characteristics with the rest of the islands in the National Park, but the most curious thing is that it is used as a living laboratory because it is home to the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. Every year, new plants and animal species and how to cure their diseases are researched. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have the time, this is an essential stop that you&#8217;re sure to love. There you can hike, kayak, snorkel and sunbathe on its paradisiacal beaches. The beach is practically virgin, and only tourists and artisanal and sport fishermen come to it in search of tuna, grouper and snapper among others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Santa-Catalina\"><\/span>3. Santa Catalina<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Santa Catalina is the most common access point to reach the island of Coiba Panama, however, the municipality itself is also a very famous tourist destination among surfers in the world for its optimal conditions to practice this sport. So much so, in fact, that it is one of the preferred locations where the world championships are held. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most particular of Santa Catalina are its beaches, among which the Santa Catalina and Estero beaches stand out. There is also a small path called La Cresta that leads to a viewpoint from where you can see the islands. It is a short trail, but not particularly easy, as it has a lot of stones and is often wet and slippery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Santa Catalina is also a good place to stay at a good price if you want to visit Coiba. From there, they organise all sorts of excursions and itineraries that cover several islands in the same day. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"aligncentre size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"28853\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/panama\/things-to-do-coiba-island\/attachment\/island-in-the-archipelago-of-the-coiba-national-park\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Island-in-the-archipelago-of-the-Coiba-National-Park.jpeg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,768\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Island in the archipelago of the Coiba National Park\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Island-in-the-archipelago-of-the-Coiba-National-Park.jpeg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Island-in-the-archipelago-of-the-Coiba-National-Park.jpeg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Island-in-the-archipelago-of-the-Coiba-National-Park.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Island in the archipelago of the Coiba National Park\" class=\"wp-image-28853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Island-in-the-archipelago-of-the-Coiba-National-Park.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Island-in-the-archipelago-of-the-Coiba-National-Park.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Island-in-the-archipelago-of-the-Coiba-National-Park.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Island in the archipelago of the Coiba National Park @pixabat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-see-in-1-day-on-coiba-island-panama\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-see-in-1-day-on-Coiba-Island-Panama\"><\/span>What to see in 1 day on\u00a0Coiba Island Panama?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On Coiba, time stands still, so you can spend anywhere from a day to an eternity. In fact, the island itself can be seen in a day. It has only a couple of short jungle trails, two beaches and the reefs. However, the island invites you to spend more time. It is usually recommended to spend at least a couple of days either on the island or on Santa Catalina so that you can also visit the other islands in the national park, such as Granito de Oro or Rancheria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a diving enthusiast, then you might want to stay and live here. Throughout the park there are more than 31 authorised dive sites on the different islands. It&#8217;ll take several trips to tackle them all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-and-what-to-eat-on-coiba-island\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-and-what-to-eat-on-Coiba-Island\"><\/span>Where and what to eat on Coiba Island?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no restaurants on Coiba Island as it is a very protected area. However, in Santa Catalina you can eat fish and seafood of the highest quality, as well as other local dishes in its restaurants. Here we leave you a selection of some of the best:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Restaurante Pescao:<\/strong> specialises in Caribbean and Central American-style seafood. The food is delicious, but the best thing is the atmosphere as it overlooks the sea. The price per person ranges from \u20ac10 to \u20ac20. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>El Pac\u00edfico: <\/strong>This is the typical restaurant where you&#8217;ll see locals eating. Its speciality is seafood, which, although simply presented, is of the highest quality. You can eat very well for around \u20ac15. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>El Chillinguito: <\/strong>is a restaurant with a varied menu that includes Spanish dishes and where the pastas stand out. It is quite moderately priced. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"28854\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/panama\/things-to-do-coiba-island\/attachment\/trip-to-coiba-island-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/trip-to-Coiba-Island.jpeg?fit=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"768,1024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"trip to Coiba Island\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/trip-to-Coiba-Island.jpeg?fit=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/trip-to-Coiba-Island.jpeg?fit=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"28854\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/trip-to-Coiba-Island.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"trip to Coiba Island\" class=\"wp-image-28854\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/trip-to-Coiba-Island.jpeg?w=768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/trip-to-Coiba-Island.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">@pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-attachment-id=\"28855\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/panama\/things-to-do-coiba-island\/attachment\/trip-to-coiba-panama\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/trip-to-coiba-panama.jpeg?fit=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,682\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"trip to coiba panama\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/trip-to-coiba-panama.jpeg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/trip-to-coiba-panama.jpeg?fit=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"28855\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/trip-to-coiba-panama.jpeg?resize=1024%2C682&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"trip to coiba panama\" class=\"wp-image-28855\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/trip-to-coiba-panama.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/trip-to-coiba-panama.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/trip-to-coiba-panama.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">@pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-to-stay-on-coiba-island\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-to-stay-on-Coiba-Island\"><\/span>Where to stay on Coiba Island?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying on Coiba Island is not as easy as it sounds, as space is very limited and you have to book well in advance because demand is high. This may seem like a big inconvenience, but it makes perfect sense as the main objective on the island is to preserve the park. If you get a place, you&#8217;ll be able to stay in beautiful, fully-equipped cabins that are integrated into nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outdoor camping is also possible, but a permit is required from the Ministry of Environment in the Gambute beach area, as well as for access to the park.

If you&#8217;re travelling from Spain, the first step is the plane, which will drop you off at Panama City airport. Once there, there are two possible ways to get to Santa Catalina: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bus: <\/strong>Take a bus to Son\u00e1 and from there another bus to Santa Catalina. The two tickets together cost no more than $15. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Private Car:<\/strong> is the most comfortable option. This type of transport can be hired from the accommodation itself and costs $35.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>From Santa Catalina the only way to reach the island is by boat. The journey takes 1 hour and 15 minutes. You can also take the boat from other ports such as Puerto Mutis, Pixvae and Puerto Vidal. The cost of boat transport is US$55. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-should-i-consider-before-travelling-to-coiba-island\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-should-I-consider-before-travelling-to-Coiba-Island\"><\/span>What should I consider before travelling to Coiba Island?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>No visa is required to enter Panama, but a passport valid for at least 6 months is required. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The country is not the safest, so avoid going out at night and keep an eye on your belongings. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To access Coiba Island you&#8217;ll need a permit, which can be obtained from tour operators or the Ministry of Environment.
