Spend a Day on the Bay – nature trails, kayak adventures, and 'environmentally' themed birthday parties for kids of all ages.
Bahia Honda has so much to offer, and if you can only spend half a day with us, we will design your visit to ensure we go at your pace, but we are excited to share all that's special about nature and ocean waters that surround us. If there are kids in your party, let us know, as we have lots of activities for them, although we find most kids love using our powerful little microscopes on tree bark, bugs, or plankton, or they are enthralled being up in the canopy with a set of binoculars – that said, kids of all ages seem to enjoy these.
OTHER TRIPS AND ACTIVITIES
After spending three years exploring paths and mangroves less travelled, we love to share the tracks and places that have made the greatest impact on us and our local communities, but we are mindful of minimising environmental damage. That said, there are so many things to do and so many ecosystems to experience – here is a small snapshot: - Ask about the cost, as the price varies depending on the season. We only work with qualified and trusted local suppliers and will aim to secure the best price but maintain the highest quality and most knowledge. There is usually a minimum number of 2 people, but if you are a solo traveller, let us see if we can connect you with other like-minded individuals.
Kayak, mangrove tunnel and cave
Kayaking over Bahia Honda to the mangrove tunnel and visiting the ancient fossil cave that heralded Panama's formation from the seabed requires a guide. It takes around 4-5 hours to do the trip justice and ensure you have an immersive experience and observe as much wildlife as possible. An option to take this trip by cayuco is also an option.
Snorkel over coral and through mangrove lagoons
Snorkel our favourite coral reefs and kayak through our favourite mangroves and snorkel across lagoons of upside-down jellyfish. 4 hours to ensure you are not rushed and can soak in this very special and unique experience.
Tropical island adventure
Visit the Zapatilla Islands or Salt Creek Nyobe village – 1 day
Ngäbe Indigenous Village, Salt Creek
Herbal medicine and cosmetics feel good
Natural plant-based herbal medicine with a focus on those growing in our garden that you pick, smell and use. We bring in the experts for your run at Seahorse Point. 2 hours
Hike across Bastimentous to Salt Creek
Hike across Bastimentos from Bahia Honda to Salt Creek; this is only possible when the trail has been cleared. The hike is about 3 hours, and we will have lunch in Salt Creek, with a sundowner on a panga, before making the trip through the National Marine Park back to Seahorse Point.
