Explore history as we tour part of the route Christopher Columbus discovered 500 years ago
in Panama’s Bocas del Toro region via a thrilling jet boat. Crossing shallow coral reefs we
travel up shallow rivers to visit indigenous people little changed since “The Admiral’s” visit.
Making Boquete, Chiriqui our home since 1994, we have been exploring the western sides of both Panama’s Pacific
and Atlantic Ocean coasts including the various estuaries, rivers and the numerous islands. Our 1997 jet boat was
the first pleasure boat of its type to be imported into Panama, and has proven the most suitable eco tour craft for
exploring the shallow rivers and coral reefs not readily accessible to conventional craft. Drawing only 20 cm or 8 in
of water on plane allows us to travel where propeller-driven craft fear to tread. Able to travel well in excess of 30
kts, we cover greater distances in less time to allow more visiting time at more remote locales. Passing amongst many
of history's long forgotten past exploration routes, you can almost sense the excitement of what the first European
explorers must have felt during their unique age of discovery adventures in Bocas del Toro that have brought us all to
this point in time..

A new extreme eco-venture nature tour
for those seeking the unusual and
off-the-beaten track awaits, as we wind
our way through sparsely populated
islets or cayos, crossing Almirante Bay
and Chiriqui Lagoon where we travel
up shallow rivers to experience the
indigenous inhabitants whose little
changed life style is reminiscent of
what Christopher Columbus' last
voyage of discovery encountered. Our
water turbine or jet boat provides an
exhilarating yet, safe ecotour of 8 or
more hours, covering over 150 Km on
the complete route.

Featuring indigenous or Indian village experiences to which we travel via jet boat on our eco tours within the Panama province of Bocas del Toro
passing along some of the same route Christopher Columbus passed on his final voyage of discovery along the eastern most portions of the
Caribbean. That these extremes of culture continue to exist is part of the nature eco tour experience; which can include various other facets
including snorkeling among some of the most pristine coral reefs in existence; passing via shallow rivers to reach remote indigenous villages; travel
via a long abandoned banana canal viewing other Indian locales, or bird watching some of more than 1,000 species found in this tiny nation, or
enter into a jungle river environ, lunching under an Oropendula nest group which might also allow catching a glimpse of a manatee; or enjoy the
dolphin displays in the various waters of Bocas del Toro that often come up when least expected; or contemplate the possible pirate lairs within
these many cayos, bahias and islands as we explore in our jet craft where the likes of Sir Francis Drake (said to have been terminally ill on Isla
Escudo de Veraguas) or Henry Morgan (said to have passed these waters after his most successful routing of the Spaniards and sacking of Old
Panama City) ; or viewing the sights along our ways, which can include the Cayos Zapatillos, Islas Bastimentos, Agua, Popa, Solarte, Cristobal
and Swan, as well as literally 100s of others too small to be named. Our venture is conducted with your safety in mind first and, a very close
second, an experience you shall never forget. We have been in these waters exploring, scuba diving and some fishing too, for the past 7 years.
Every trip has something new or not experienced before even by us, as the waters can change in an instant, or the rivers can be too dry or have a
new obstacle that makes it a continually changing event. We have made Boquete in Chiriqui our home since 1994 also exploring the waters of
Coiba, Isla Paridas and many other islands and even finding uncharted rocks and sunken wrecks has made our life in Panama exciting to the
extreme at times. That Cristobal Colon made his voyages is what makes it possible for all of us to be here today. We look forward to sharing
with you some of the exciting history that surrounds our travel routes and the magnificent displays of nature at its finest. A new venture is coming
featuring Tarpon fishing. Recent river trips we thought had some shy dolphins playing; but, it turns out we have several possible (seasonal) locales
for these magnificent fighters.
