Panama Whale Watching

Whale Watching Coiba island Panama

Observe the mother Humpback whales with their calves in their natural environment. Coiba island Panama is one of the only places in the world where Humpback whales migrate from both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The migration route of the Humpbacks from the Northern hemisphere is the longest migration of any species on the planet as they migrate here to breed and give birth in our warm tropical waters. Panama whale watching is truly an amazing event. Humpbacks are most often seen around Coiba island from July through October, although their have been sightings as early as February.
