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.

It was so much fun to explore the island with an ebike from bocasebikes. You can explore the whole island easily and the owner of the rental shop is really really nice and helpful. We really enjoyed our day and would definitely recommend bocasebikes!

Tour Bocas Del Toro in style. 2 and 4 person gas powered Club Car golf carts available for rent. "Rain or shine we've got you covered"
Thank goodness for Trip Advisor or I would have never known about this place. The owners and this business was just a gem. To add to the mix of things they had many delicious prepared frozen meals to go. Some vegetarian. Some great fun junk food like good old fashion rice crispy bars and peanut butter cookies. Mmmmmm. Oh yes then there are the carts. Some may think the price is a little steep but you can not get the experience any other way. (There are quads somewhere to rent but checking prices for 4 hours/2 quads and 4 adults $240.00.) So $75.00 seems reasonable. That price is for all day. We only needed it for about 4 hours. However, to a business owner I have basically tied that golf cart up for not being available for a full day to another paying customer. We drove it as far as we could heading to Star Fish Beach. When the road ends at the water turn left. Many places to stop along the way. The pros:Outside~comfortable~easy to stop. The cons:uncomfortable at times due to the very bumpy road at sections. Must be able to hold on and be jerked around. Highly recommend excellent service. They allow you to pay ahead of time to reserve the cart as they don’t have many. If it fits in your plans I recommend doing this if you have a day to kill.
If you want to enjoy Isla Colon Bocas del Toro with friends and family, we offer rental tut for traveling on every island comfortably.
