Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pearl Islands Archipelago?
It's a group of more than 200 islands and islets, most of them uninhabited, located in the Gulf of Panama. It's famous for its natural beauty, white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters — ideal for fishing and diving.
What's the best time to visit the Pearl Islands?
The best time is during the dry season, from December to April. However, July through October is whale-watching season, which makes it a special time to visit as well.
Is there a minimum number of people required for the tour?
Our tours are private — the price is for the full charter of the vessel, not per person. Capacity depends on the yacht you choose.
Is snorkeling gear included?
Yes. Most of our yachts include basic snorkeling gear so you can enjoy the waters around the islands.
What should I bring?
We recommend sunscreen, towels, a swimsuit and a camera to capture the best moments.
