Google Reviews
The trip was amazing, saw the most beautiful sea life.. turtles, sharks, rays, eels, and tons of fish. Lunch was hearty. Boat captain knowledgeable and safe. I would highly recommend Snorkel Coiba.
Our guide was very funny, very informative and supportive. He tried to show you alle the cool stuff and we would have missed a lot without him!
Highly recommended!
A brief information for jellyfish season would be great 😉
We had a great time!
By listening talk I got the feeling that he cares about the environment and conservation which to me is very important. I would highly recommend going on a tour with him since having someone that knows this much about the area is what makes the experience better.

You're in expert hands
We are not a booking platform. We are the people who will actually be with you on the water — and we hire local guides because nobody knows Coiba like they do.
We are not from Santa Catalina, but we hire local guides because they carry knowledge no outsider can replicate. They know every reef, every current, and every wildlife spot in Coiba National Park. Having a local guide gives you authenticity and stories you simply won't hear with volunteers. All our guides hold a marine license issued by Panama's Maritime Authority (AMP), and one of our guides holds the official tourist guide card issued by Panama's Ministry of Tourism (ATP). We rotate guides regularly so they are never overworked — a rested guide is a better guide for you.
We protect what we share with you
Coiba is one of the most pristine marine environments on Earth. We take that responsibility seriously.
