An archipelago off the northwest coast of Panama, Bocas del Toro is an eco-tourism favorite with English-speaking and other tourists traveling to this Central American country. Seven islands (including Isla Colón, Isla Carenero and Isla Bastimentos) comprise the land area, with Bocas Town its regional capital and the “big city” for those looking to shop, dine well, and explore nightlife. Adventure lovers will find plenty to keep them occupied, as scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing, surfing and hiking are first-rate. And if you’re more of a tour-goer, never fear—Bocas del Toro offers a host of them, ranging from sailing to Nivida Bat Cave tours.

ATV/Quad Rental Flying Pirates - ride an ATV, with or without a guide, through a private, off-limits-to-everyone-else, 1,500 acre rainforest! Your day begins in the heart of Bocas town, where you will be picked up and shuttled to our secondary location just outside of town. We offer surf racks, for those of you wanting to hit the waves while you are out, and all of our bikes come with lock boxes attached for your cameras and cash. Wind your way out of town until you hit Bluff Road and just keep right on going until you reach our property. The Flying Pirates trails will take you through the jungle, then alongside pristine beaches, all perfect for a pit stop and some swimming. Rock Beach, La Piscina and, the newly accessible Blue Lagoon, are all gorgeous natural water formations perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Explore the caves at the tip of the island, and return through Monkey Trail. If you rev your engines a little bit, the monkeys might just yell back at you.
Sorry for how long this review is but... My husband is an ex pro motocross rider and he found this trial a lot of fun but quite challenging. We did the jungle excursion. We nervously laughed at the injury board listing some pretty nasty injuries; broken jaws, ribs, pelvis and several concussions to name a few. After riding the trail i totally get it. We took the beach trail and it is quite technical. Take your time and watch for low hanging branches (concussion time). We made it out to Blue Lagoon which is wild and beautiful. There are beautiful beach areas all along the way but the water is more for surfing with big crashing waves. There is one particular water crossing near Piscina Beach that is challenging; mostly because the water is deep and my husband was concerned about water getting into the air intake. He did a fair amount of measuring and in the end crossed his fingers and gunned it. I walked through the tree roots to the other side. Don't think the Quad would have made it with two of us. We ran into an issue where the trail was blocked completely and it took us a bit of time to work our way out. We found the main trail nearby and walked backwards. We found the trail was blocked about 500 meters back with a few cut trees which we were able to move. Turns out the ATV company had blocked that direction due to a steep hill further up on which people had been flipping backwards or had the potential to do so. When we came up on that hill i got off and my husband made it up. After that we took the main trail (Jungle Hwy) back instead of the Monkey Trail (which we found out after is easier than the beach trail). Stopped at a restaurant at Playa Bluff on the way back called Bow Wow i think. We were covered in mud so we washed off as best we could in the ocean and enjoyed a well earned beer and delicious pizza. We only did a half day (4hrs) which was plenty for us. You have to really pay attention to the trail at all times. My husband equated it to driving through a bad snowstorm. He was pretty spent ???? The Hostel where the Quads are located is really nice. The wonderful Italian girl at the desk took us on a tour of the rooms. There is lots to do there and we enjoyed a few beers and a game of bocce before they drove us back. Overall a great excursion but heed the warnings and take your time. There is potential here for serious injury and it will take time for them to find you.
