Bocas always makes me happy. The ambiance of the island is really laid back. Honestly, Bocas is whatever you make of it. It can be a place where you go get drunk and enjoy amazing parties or it can be very chill with amazing locations and lots of places to visit and things to do. I would recommend to pack yourself with cash before you go and, if you go to a restaurant that accept cards, take advantage of that and just use cash. Getting around is pretty easy, there's a bunch of guys ready to help you go anywhere you want to go and prices are the same with almost everyone except for some that might bring it down $5. Not that big of a deal. If it's your first time, do the Cayo Zapatilla tour and then the Bastimentos tour. For other visits, just go to near by beaches like Carenero or Bluff beach. I personally don't enjoy Playa Estrella (Star Fish Beach) or Red Frog, but you could try that I guess. Just go to Bocas. It's amazing. Expensive, but amazing.

Love the atmosphere and the island lifestyle of Bocas del Toreo. Foto Solarte and Bastimientios, not to forget Zapatillas! I very much enjoyed my stay and missed out on nothing. That said, I subjectively believe that during this epidemic, Panamenians put too much stress on taking the tourists money rather than sharing their culture and love for nature. Hardcore Capitalists.

The town is a party town for college kids and that sort of nonsense but if you use Boacas town as a launchpad to see other places it's fine. Taking time on the other islands is wonderful and serene. So know that is you stay in some places in Bocas town ---especially guest houses, you are in a neighborhood where locals live and for me..this was the best part. It may not be for everyone but I met wonderful people and they gave me FREE tours showing me the place, invited me for food. That was the best part. Bocas town is for party kids but use it as a launchpad and see the other -more quiet islands and you will be fine. Could have stayed about 4 to 5 more days just to get to see things a bit more ..VERY SAFE Place police EVERYWHERE too. locals and tourism sector workers are so friendly and very helpful. it was wonderful.

I have been to many places around the world and Bocas del Toro is the most magical place I have ever been! It is filled with beautiful beaches, jungle, and other rich natural beauty. You can take day trips to other islands, go snorkeling, kayaking, enjoy the many restaurants and bars, etc. It is also rich with a wonderful sense of community, and a wide array of people from all over the world. You do not need to speak Spanish in order to get by, although it is definitely helpful. Currently, the economy is hurting due to a major decrease in tourism. However this is a benefit to the tourists that do come during this time, as it is more peaceful and you will be able to get lower prices than usual. You can fly in to Panama City and take the Air Panama flight into Bocas, where the airport is very centrally located to Bocas Town. Highly recommended!

This area really caters to adventure and ......can appeal to the higher end traveler. It has its rough edges and its party fever times. Match your travels with the seasonal celebrations to fit your desire. Some small places can be closed when the town is not in full swing. This is better summed up as a local laid back place to just enjoy.

Bocas Town is the perfect place to enjoy blue beaches with gold sand and see wild dolphins. My wife and I spent 6 nights in the town and enjoyed eating fresh sushi and exploring the nearby beaches on our bikes. We also took a night bioluminescence boat tour that surpassed all of our expectations, it was the highlight of our stay in Bocas.
