Whale Watching in Panama — the titans of the sea

Every year, the Panamanian Pacific waters become the stage for one of nature's great wonders: the migration of humpback whales along a route of over 8,000 km from Antarctica. Panama's Whale Watching Season runs from June to November. These majestic creatures migrate in search of warm waters to mate and give birth to their calves.

The arrival of humpback whales in Panama is a maritime spectacle to behold. They are very social creatures — you can hear their song from certain beaches. It is one of the longest migrations in the world and one of the only migrations that crosses the equatorial line! Live a unique experience on a private tour.

Activity details

No long overland transfers needed — the tour departs from Flamenco Marina on the Amador Causeway. The destination is the Pearl Islands Archipelago (35 nautical miles from Panama City). It takes approximately 1.5 to 2.5 hours to reach Las Perlas, depending on the vessel you choose.

The whale watching tour combines the thrill of encountering majestic marine giants with the joy of snorkeling and fishing on the same day. With the stunning backdrop of the warm waters around the 200+ islands of the Pearl Islands Archipelago. You can also visit famous islands like Contadora, Chapera, Mogo Mogo, and Saboga.

Fishing is also an option during the Whale Watching tour

Beyond whale watching, the tour navigates to privileged fishing spots in Panama. As a private yacht rental, you decide which activities to add. The Pearl Islands Archipelago is world-renowned as one of the best fishing locations where you can catch mahi-mahi, tuna, sailfish, and marlin.
