This tour introduces visitors to some of the most beautiful views and scenery around Isla Colón. Sailing round the coast, we will make our first stop at Starfish Beach, whose white sands and turquoise waters are scattered with orange starfish. The beach backs onto a forest of coconut palms and extends out towards dense mangroves.

After a delicious lunch at Boca del Drago, with views across the bay, we will head out into the open ocean to the prehistoric-looking rocky outcrop of Isla Pájaros – or Bird Island, also known as Swan’s Cay. These wave-beaten rocks are the nesting ground for hundreds of seabirds, including the stunning red-billed tropicbird, which we admire from the boat so as not to disturb the young birds.

Highlights:

• Approaching the wild rocks of Bird Island, jutting out from the ocean
  
• Snorkeling at Starfish Beach – there´s more than just starfish here!
• Watching the sea birds swarm around Bird Island, catching fish to feed their young
• Spotting a spectacular red-billed tropicbird with its incredibly long tail flying over Bird Island – the only nesting ground for these birds in Panama.

• Bathing suit
• Towel
  
• Sun screen
  
• Protective plastic bags for cameras, etc
• Water
