This was a great day in Bocas! We booked a tour the night before by contacting the company using WhatsApp (during the busy season, its the best way to reach them since its a small company and they're out doing tours during the day). We got a response that evening with a list of all the tours they offered and booked one easily. We took the Tour to Zapatilla, and they said the would pick us up from the dock at our hotel at 9:30am the next morning. We were the last of the group to be picked up (about 8 guests and 3 people from the company including Sophie, the boat captain and another girl that was learning to give tours), and after a quick stop to let the Tourist office know who was on the tour, they took us across the water to an area known for having dolphins. We got to see quite a few, most from close up. Then we went to an island with mangroves were we got to see 2 sloths. Another boat ride and we stopped to place our lunch order at restaurant on an island and then we did some snorkeling while we waited for lunch to cook. After lunch, we took a longer boat ride across slightly choppier water to Zapatilla island which has gentle waves and beautiful sand to relax for a couple hours. On the boat ride back, we stopped to see some star fish in the shallow waters and a quick look that is the craziness of Filthy Fridays at one of the island bars. Thats what we did, but the way it felt was even more amazing. The islands are beautiful and green, the water is calm for the majority of the time you're on the boat, the cover of the boat and the breeze keeps you cool even when the boat comes to a stop, and Sophie provides a lot of information about the area and the wildlife and does her best to stay away from the crowds. The tour is 7+ hours, but the time went by so quickly since there was so much to see. They provide life jackets for everyone, and check up on everyone during the stops and when everyone is snorkeling. One thing to note, they don't do tours on Saturdays.

We initially did the bioluminescence tour with Emanuel and the whole experience was just incredible so we decided to book with the same company to visit Cayo Coral and Cayo Zapadilla. Emanuel is such a star! He knows so much stuff and he delivers the knowledge in a way that makes it interesting. Absolutely recommended.

I have nothing but good things to say about Sophie and her staff. Sophie was very helpful in giving me advice and organizing the tours accordingly to our schedule (I went there with two other friends). You can see that they focus on the customer's experience and not on their profits. They are very committed. I recommend it 100%.

We went for a night tour with Kawi. There was additional fees for collection from the hotel. The tour was expectational as the location speak for themselves and it was great to see mother nature at work. The bioluminescent plankton is a natural wonder and it was exceptional to experience it. We had a Spanish speaking group so the guide spoke mostly Spanish and English on request. No water or food is provided during the tour.

We started the tour with some rain and clouds, but it soon cleared up, partly thanks to the great tour guide Joanes and Julie!
So nice, polite and knew a lot about the customs in Bocas, Panama and the history of the islands.
He also knew a lot about the animals and coral, etc!
And he's also just a good captain!
If you go with kawi voyage, ask for Joanes! You won't regret it.
We went dolphin spotting and sailed to Zapatilla via the Coral Reef.

Sophie was amazing. Guided us to perfect tours to suit our requests. Seems to know all the best tours and places to go in Bocas Del Toro. Was always very quick to reply on Whattsap. Everything fairly priced. Our first time to Bocas and it was amazing due to Sophie.

We decided to book a day tour with KAWI VOYAGE TOURS
First of all Sophie was really helpful to provide us enough information in advance and the tour was really well organised, our guides were very friendly.
They provide so much interesting information, and showing the best and most they can around the place without disturbing the animals which we really liked.
We saw dolphins, slots, starfish and so on. The snorkelling was perfect length to explore the corals followed by a nice local meal in a bar with a beautiful view( meal is not included in the tour price). The day continued with an amazing relaxing beach time in Zapatilla island with a nice touch from Sophie offering us fresh coconut to try.
Really well organised and perfect day plan without rush but full of experience and lovely time! We would not hesitate to choose KAWI Voyage Tour again!

During my trip in Panama, Bocas del Toro, we had an excursion three days in a row with Kawi voyage. Fantastic! Excellent organisation, very interesting excursions, Sophie is a charming, friendly guide,French speaking also and the boatdriver is very competent and sees things and animals we never should see without him. If I go back to Bocas I will definitely go back to Kawi!

Buenos días, si son 5 días en el archipielago de Bocas del Toro entonces si es un tiempo suficiente para conocer y disfrutar. Se puede quedar más tiempo sin aburrirse de la cantidad de opciones que hay para ver y hacer pero ya con 5 días podrá disfrutar tranquilamente. Puede alojarse en un solo lugar y visitar las diferentes islas (facilmente desde isla colon o carenero) o dormir en diferentes islas (2 si son 5 días) si quieren unos días más apartados. No dude en contactarme por whatsapp si tiene otras consultas al +507 6555 9954. Hasta pronto!
