Panama's Islas Secas Launches Marine Safari with Thrilling Experiences and Soul-Stirring Wildlife

Islas Secas, the spectacular archipelago off the Pacific coast of Panama, launches a Marine Safari designed to wholly immerse guests in the exceptional biodiversity of the tropical island paradise. Islas Secas is comprised of 14 volcanic islands, 13 of which remain untouched. Considered an environmentally protected area and surrounded by one of the greatest protected marine zones in the world, the exclusive all-inclusive reserve takes pride in prioritizing conservation and sustainability in every thread of the property’s fabric and in each thrilling experience. As one of the most biodiverse areas of the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean, Islas Secas is dedicated to protecting its strong natural heritage and wildlife and to inspiring guests towards a conservation mindset.

Available from May through September, the Marine Safari supports Islas Secas’ passion to be a blue print for sustainable, nature-driven tourism. Each itinerary is tailored to guests’ interests, with the opportunity to discover breathtaking nature, including 750 fish species, 114 bird species and 128 species of plants. The property is also a boat-ride away from Coiba National park, a UNESCO-designated Protected Marine area that is home to the second largest coral reef in the eastern tropical Pacific. Custom Marine Safari itineraries could include but are not limited to:

  • A morning hike to a whale watching outlook followed by snorkeling to spot sea turtles and puffer fish

  • Scuba diving at El Faro island to look for Triggerfish and Octopus

Every element of the Marine Safari is designed to delight, educate and inspire.
