Worth agreeing on before you meet

Caribbean Culture

Bocas del Toro has deep Afro-Caribbean roots — the culture, music, language, and food are distinct from mainland Panama. Respect this heritage by engaging with the local community, eating at local restaurants, and listening to the stories of people who have lived here for generations.

Marine Conservation

The reefs and marine life of Bocas are fragile. Never touch coral, do not stand on reef, do not chase or touch marine animals, and do not remove anything from the water — including shells and starfish. Use reef-safe sunscreen exclusively.

Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Bocas del Toro travel guide.
