Isla Iguana Snorkeling

We will be taken to Playa El Arenal in Pedasí, where our boat is waiting in order to take us to Iguana Island – a wildlife refuge 8 kilometers off the coast. The island is famous for its white sand beach, crystal waters and coral reefs including 17 different types of corals that shelter more than 350 species of fish. Dolphins are frequently seen, as well as (harmless) sharks, turtles and – between June and October – humpback whales that migrate from cold waters to Panama’s Pacific coast with warmer water temperatures. Iguana Island is also home to a large breeding colony of frigate birds and – as the island’s name indicates – iguanas. On the island, we will explore the different coral reefs and the colorful submarine world snorkeling together with our guide. Then we relax at the stunning white sand beach for a while, before exploring a hiking trail that crosses the island from west to east together to observe the numerous iguanas.
