Panama is the only place in the world where humpback whales migrate from both the Southern and Northern hemispheres. Every year these welcome visitors put on quite a show for our guests, who thrill to get up close with these majestic creatures.

FISHING

There is no better place to experience the best of Panama fishing than at Islas Secas which puts you closer to the legendary Hannibal Bank and Islas Montuosa and their abundance of marlin and tuna than any other fishing operation.
