Panama
Tours main page |
Panama is the only
place
in the world where Humpback whales from both the
Northern & Southern hemispheres
go to
breed and give birth.
That means
there are two whale
seasons! July to October and December to February.
Following are whale & dolphin
watching
tours.
You may
select from day
excursions from Panama City and 2-5 day
outings either to
the Pearl islands or the Isla Coiba National Marine
Park.
Both
regions
are extremely
favored by the whales and dolphins
for their warm, crystal clear tropical
waters. Especially in July-October
there are hundreds of humpback whales from
Antarctica. On
some days there are whales to be seen all around you.
The whales here are very
lively,
with playful babies
having fun and they are very
inquisitive about us
human beings.
In addition there are many sea turtles, manta rays
and whale sharks. Panama is home to over 30 species of
cetaceans (whales & dolphins), including humpbacks, spotted
& bottlenose dolphins, pilot, sperm & occasionally even orca
whales.
