If you are a private pilot, this is the easiest way to get to the islands… either fly your own, or rent a plane for a few days to explore the archipelago. If you don’t have your pilot’s license yet… charters are easy and hassle free!

About 20 minutes from Panama City in a helicopter, this is a thrilling way to see the islands, as well as the whales, dolphins, scout properties, or land on a deserted beach for an amazing picnic! 

A leasurely 2 hour ferry ride from Panama City, the ferry has daily trips to several of the Pearl Islands. Its also an affordable way to see whales and dolphins and some of the outlying islands.

Chartering a boat and captain is a thrilling way to get to the islands… and by the time you arrive you will likely have already caught your dinner. Ask the chef at any of the local restaurants to cook up your catch… just remember to share!

Just kidding!  Although the waters are comfortably warm and quite safe, the 40 mile trip from the Pearl Islands to Panama City is likely too far to swim!  

Whales and dolphins are frequent visitor to the Pearl Islands. The whales visit the Pearl Islands from July through October and our dolphin friends are year round residents.
