White Sand Beaches and Crystal Blue Waters

After an exciting day on the water, we encourage you to take a stroll on the many islands white sand beaches, or take our kayaks out in search of bottlenose dolphins and flying fish. The islands in this area boast on of the richest varieties of bird life in the world. Take a guided tour through the jungle on Coiba Island in search of leaf cutter ants, exotic insects, and the occasional sloth. You may even see howling monkeys or hear their call during the end of the day. Whatever activities you choose, your experience in Panama will be one you will not forget.

Cruising

Cruising in and out of the islands that separate the open ocean from inside waters on the west side of Panama is truly something spectacular. This is a place with white sand beaches and clear blue water, where fishermen still paddle out in hand carved canoes to their fishing grounds. This area is protected by the Coiba National Park and the Cerra Hoya National Park. Both parks are a refuge to birds, a variety of animals, reptiles, native flora and fauna, reef, and, of course, fish. Immerse yourself in the tropical experience and take a step back in time. This is the Lost Coast.

Surfing

During our voyage aboard The Lost Coast Explorer, we will be traveling through a series of islands that all offer exceptional surfing. We have 27 surf spots that we visit regularly, and there are still many locations that are being explored. You can combine surfing with other activities in one day. The opportunity to combine different activities is what Lost Coast Excursions is all about - the next activity is just a short boat ride away. For inexperienced surfers, we do offer surf lessons and can provide long boards at any time during your stay.

Diving

For those of you who wish to do some diving, you can schedule diving every day or you can combine diving with other activities. We do have a compressor on board, and tanks for up to 16 divers at a time. Our staff includes experienced open water divers. Experience the thrill of diving in water with 100' visibility. Grab some oysters. Maybe you will get a chance to dive with the whale sharks that frequent this area. (Two days of diving is permitted during your adventure travel trip.)

Snorkeling

Jump off the dock at any time while The Lost Coast Explorer is anchored up for some great snorkeling. If you enjoy free diving and wish to do a little spear fishing, we have that equipment available for you. Grab a couple lobsters before dinner!

Jungle Tours

In the Coiba National Park there is a spectacular jungle tour that is available to you at any time. You can do a half hour tour or do a full day hike through Coiba Island. Coiba Island has a multitude of indigenous species of plant life, animal life, reptiles, and bird life that you cannot find anywhere else in the world. The Smithsonian has a research center in the park that allows them to study these unique species.

Ocean Fishing

The waters of Coiba National Park offer some of the best fishing in the world. During your trip, we will target cubera snapper and roosterfish, and will have opportunities at blue marlin, black marlin, and yellowfin tuna.

Inshore Fishing

With the use of a jet sled we can travel up rivers and fish estuaries with ease, so that you can cast flies or lures for all types of inshore species. Snook, roosterfish, snapper, and bonito are all a blast on light tackle.

Whale Watching

While traveling aboard The Lost Coast Explorer, you will have the opportunity to see many whales of different types.

Beach Tours

Any of the white sand beaches you see can be yours! We will pass hundreds of beaches while traveling down the coast during a 6-day tour. Any of these beaches are accessible with the use of our 18' jet sled. Simply say the word, and we will drop you off to explore or just relax in the sun.

Local Village Tours

We will pass by several small fishing communities that have no road access. Entering these small settlements is like stepping back in time. Witness groups of men hand carve their fishing canoes from whole logs. See people fish from the bank of a river with bamboo poles or casting line. Life in these villages revolves around the catch of the day.

Bird Viewing

These areas have a unique variety of bird life that can be viewed from the ocean or on jungle tours. Panama has over 10 birds that are endemic to Panama. Take advantage of your opportunity to see the rare coiba spinetail, which is not found anywhere else in the world.
