WHALE WATCHING TOUR

In Panama, you’ll discover the finest boat excursions, yachts, and catamarans for whale watching. We offer several options, including visits to Coiba Nature Marine Park, Contadora Island, Bolaños Island, Santa Catalina, and the Boca Chica region.

The second week of July marks the beginning of the whale-watching season, which extends until early October. However, August stands out as the prime month for spotting whales along the entire Panamanian Pacific coast.

Imagine witnessing these majestic creatures perform their courtship rituals—leaping out of the water and serenading each other with beautiful songs that can be heard up to 30 kilometers away. These colossal mammals take advantage of the abundant fish near Panama’s shores, hunting in coordinated maneuvers that involve corralling and devouring hundreds of preys.

The humpback whales travel up to 25,000 kilometers annually to reach Panama, seeking warm waters that range from 24°C to 32°C. 

Café Geisha: A Unique Panamanian Treasure

“Creativity and good taste in the gastronomic and tourism industry. Traveling Panama with Excelencia in Travel, you will learn about the history and cultivation of the famous Geisha Coffee in the highlands of the town of Boquete, and you will taste this outstanding Geisha Coffee during a tasting of different coffees from the region.

Geisha coffee is characterized by a delicate flavor with floral and tropical fruit notes. It is grown in the Highlands of the Panamanian province of Chiriquí at an altitude of approximately 1900 meters, in a location with a variety of microclimates and volcanic soils that give it unique characteristics, according to experts.

In the mid-1960s, Geisha Coffee seeds arrived at Panamanian farms, and today it is a phenomenon in the market for high-quality coffees.

In 2023, Panamanian Geisha coffee set a new world record by selling for $10,005 per kilogram ($4,538.19 per pound) in the electronic auction Best of Panama. This was a new world record for the price paid for a kilogram of coffee.”
