🌄 Taboga Island Panama 🌴 So close to the City but feels like a different country 😎 An easy day trip or extended stay 🚢

in #panama-blog7 years ago

🌊 Taboga Island is a very popular getaway for Panamanians, Served by 2 different ferry company's departing from the Amador Causeway. Many other large Catamarans and Yachts offer daily excursions to the Island but stay anchored offshore near the beaches.

I was on the Calypso ferry when the Taboga Express passed us heading back to Amador

🚢 The Taboga Express https://tabogaexpress.com/ is the faster of the 2 services but leaves from the East or Panama City side of Amador, thus has farther to travel but more sites to see along the way. $20 for a return trip. 👁 Shedule below.

🚢 I asked the bus to let me off at the taboga ferry and was sent to the Calypso Ferry. Just across the causway from the Taboga Express. The Price is a little cheaper and the boat is a little slower but leaves from the canal side so has less distance to travel.

🚢 So for the budget minded, The Calypso is $5.00 cheaper when booking a return trip. If money is no object You can book a party boat to and from Taboga for concideraly more. 1 Example is the Red Cat All Inclusive Day Tour
$69.00 - $89.00 http://panamasailingtours.com/cat_ing/

There are too many others to mention, and I didn't know how many till I spent a few days on the Island looking for a sailboat to purchase. Many local Yachts also pay the island a visit.

😎 I started out to do a blog about my time on Taboga....But now its turned into a how to get there blog. LOL

So I will shut this 1 down and get started on another dedicated to Taboga Island only. Thanks for bearing with me. 😁
