Bocas del Toro Island Hopping Day Tour in Zapatilla Beach

Join our Zapatilla Island Tour and experience the best of Bocas del Toro in one unforgettable day. Glide across turquoise waters as playful dolphins guide you toward Bahia Honda, where sloths rest lazily in the mangroves. Stop at Hollywood Cove to spot colorful starfish, then snorkel among vibrant coral gardens at Cayo Coral, surrounded by hundreds of tropical fish. Continue to the pristine Zapatilla Cays—two uninhabited islands of powdery white sand and crystal-clear waters. Wander the lush walking trail through tropical forest, relax beneath palm trees, or swim in the calm lagoon. From March to September, you may even spot sea turtles nesting on the beach. Enjoy a freshly prepared Caribbean lunch at a waterfront restaurant before returning via the famous Starfish “Hollywood” Pool. This Zapatilla Island Tour is the perfect combination of relaxation, adventure, and natural beauty—an essential Bocas del Toro experience.

Summary: This was a terrific tour. We did everything as described. Our guide, Randall, was outstanding. He answered all of our questions and provided a wealth of information. He and Amir went above and beyond by providing a snack of freshly cut fruits. It was terrific because our lunch stop was late - around 2pm. Another great thing was they provided beer on the boat. :) One last bonus, they dropped us off where we were staying and saved us from the hassle and expense of a water taxi. Thank you for a great day in Bocas.
