SIX18 TRAVEL

Whether it's the area's famed island vibes, dreamy Caribbean adventures, or simply a tropical, "go-slow" escape from the hurdles of recent years, Bocas del Toro has something for every traveler. Known for its vibrant Afro-Caribbean culture and world-class surf, this archipelago is situated off Panama's northern coast.

The destination stretches from the lively docks of Bocas Town to the pristine mangroves of Bastimentos National Marine Park and hidden bioluminescent bays. American travelers can fly into Panama City and take a 45-minute domestic flight directly to the islands. Window seats are a must to catch the teal reefs meeting the dark deep of the ocean!
