Isla Taboga Travel Guide

 lalikes Says:  There are great beaches in Taboga to either side of the ferry dock. Went to the better one to the right. It is a beach with a sand bar. On one side there are a lot of waves. On the other, it's more calm. You decide. 

 bilgeez Says:  The beaches on Taboga are not large or dramatic, in any sense, and nearly non-existant at high tide! But the locals come to get away from the dank, dreary, drab life in Panama City and have a little fun in the sun.You can rent a beach umbrella for $5 for the day or a picnic... 

 bilgeez Says:  The Impressionist artist, Paul Gaugin, lived on Taboga for three months in the summer of 1887. Had he been able to scrape together the money to buy a place on the Island, he may never have gone to Tahiti, because he liked it here. He worked on the Panama Canal for a few... 

 tnvans Says:  Go with a local called Taboga Fishing Charters. Nice boat and he (Thijs) knows the waters around Taboga, Tabogilla and Uraba. Great rods and reels. Dorado, red snapper, corvina and others. He also gives island tours where you might see migrating whales, dolphins or turtles... 

 samfishing Says:  Great for our family vacation. Our two sons loved that we were so close to the beach for swimming every day. The house is nicely set up with a full kitchen and a very comfortable bed (important as I have back problems now and then). We brought the big futon into our bedroom...

 bilgeez Says:  I haven´t stayed here, but I hear it is one of the few decent places that is on Taboga now. They have a restraurant there as well. Outstanding view, heard the rooms are spare, but habitable. Expensive for what you get. But there ain´t much there to choose from. 

 sireesha Says:  Some of the best food we had while in Panama. The restaurant / hotel is very peaceful & romantic. Beautiful views of Panama City from the balcony. Spaghetti; shrimp. 

 bilgeez Says:  Going to Taboga is easy, the Charter company has several boats going round-trip to Taboga every day. It costs $11, return, round trip, if you please. Seniors pay only $7. It may be a good idea to get tickets in advance, they sell them at several locations in Panama City.The... 

 a005116 Says:  Isla Taboga is a small island just 20km offshore. A ferry will take you from Bolboa to the island in about 1-1,5 hour. The island is an oase of peace if you compare it to the very buzzy life in Panama city! It's the island to rest out a bit, to swim and relax!
