After leaving the cool mountain town of Boquete, we headed across the country toward the Caribbean side of Panama… and honestly, we weren’t prepared for how different Bocas del Toro would feel. What started as a mountain road trip quickly turned into docks, water taxis, reggae bars, surfers, backpackers, island culture, and Caribbean energy that felt nothing like the Panama we had experienced so far. In this episode of Beyond The Badge Traveler, we travel from Boquete to Bocas del Toro for the first time — sharing the journey, first impressions, the vibe of Isla Colón, and what travelers should know before arriving. For our transfer from Boquete to the docks in Almirante, we traveled with Hello Travel Panama — a transportation company offering shared shuttles, private transfers, and travel services throughout Panama. 📍 Website: https://hellotravelpanama.com 📸 Instagram: @hellotravelpanama 📘 Facebook: Hello Travel Panama 📧 Email: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) 📱 WhatsApp: +507 6378-1097 After arriving at the docks, we crossed into the Bocas del Toro archipelago by boat… and the moment we saw the Floating Bar sitting out over the Caribbean water, we knew this part of Panama was going to be completely different. We also compare Bocas del Toro to the San Blas Islands, explain the archipelago, and show why this region has become one of the Caribbean’s most unique destinations for island travel, scuba diving, surfing, and adventure. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎬 NEXT EPISODE: Oasis Bluff Beach Eco Lodge 🇵🇦 The Quiet Side of Bocas del Toro After experiencing the energy of Bocas Town, we head to a completely different side of Isla Colón — where jungle sounds replace traffic, waves crash below the bluff, and the pace of life slows down dramatically.
