Kayaking & Paddleboarding
Paddle along Panama's coastlines by kayak or stand-up paddleboard. Explore mangroves, hidden coves, and observe marine life from above in calm, transparent waters.
Highlights
- Explore mangroves sheltering birds, caimans, and monkeys
- Calm water ideal for families with children
- Can be combined with snorkeling at the same stops
- Available on both coasts: Caribbean and Pacific
Best Time to Visit
Year-round. Dry season (December-April) offers calmer waters. Early morning is always best.
Practical Tips
Go early morning (before 9:00 AM) for calmer waters and more wildlife
Bring a waterproof bag for your phone and keys
Paddleboarding requires some balance — choose kayak if it's your first time
