Although it's not whale season, we booked with Anne Gordon de Barrigon for a day trip for our group of 68 - we were interested in snorkeling in Las Pearles (also known as the Pearl Islands) What we didn't expect was to come up on a group of false killer whales (not sure of their proper name). They were incredible - everyone was so excited to see them. The snorkeling at Pearl Islands was beautiful - for the non-snorkelers the beach was pristine. Lunch and play time in Isla Contadora followed which is a cool small island (approximately 250 people) with beautiful beaches. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and would highly recommend it to anyone interested.

This tour is just an amazing experience that everyone should do at least once in their life. For me it was just f¿great, we were so lucky to have so much activity that day in the water with differents whales but specially with a baby that was so playful discovering his body.
Being guide by Anne is such a nice pleasure, she has so much knowledge for being is this area for so many years. She is happy to explain you so many interesting things from the whales and answering question. Is so cool having all that information while you are watching them.
The lunch that is include in the day tour is really nice and the island you go to take is so nice. Is definitely something that if you have the opportunity don't let it pass.

Realmente no engañan y si ves ballenas jorobadas, si tienes suerte mas de una, los guias correctos pero muy pendientes de las propinas de los Americanos,el barco es nuevo y tiene capacidad para muchas personas eso dificulta aveces por la emoción de los ocupantes y el amontonamiento para ver las ballenas realizar buenas fotografias.
Discutible el lugar para el almuerzo Isla Contadora, el restaurante es pésimo, pequeño y con una comida de dudosa calidad, encima faltan sillas y mesas para los ocupantes. Ah!!! olvidaos de beber cerveza es muy cara. Por otra parte la playa no es una maravilla y hacer snorkel no vale nada la pena. Yo vi las mismas ballenas por la mitad de precio en Isla Coiba y encima allí el Snorkel es impresionante.

We were about 40 people, taking off with a small ferry (catamaran) from Amador Causeway (Balboa Yacht Club) en route to Las Perlas (Pearl Islands). One-way trip takes something around 2 hours. We were lucky to spot whales for a few times, so we stopped and watched them and took several photos both on the way to Las Perlas and on the way back.
After the first 2 hours, we reached Isla Contadora for a lunch & swimming break - approximately 2 hours. Then we were on the way back.
Our ferry was not too big, not too small (check out pictures from "Taboga Express", these are the ferries being used). You can easily see the view & the whales without hassle. It's front is open if you want to have some tan, and it also has lots of shades for the ones who don't. It is safe and clean with 2 bathrooms on board. The crew was very good, an American lady and two local guys hosting us, all with very good English. They gave lots of information about whales, their habitat, migration routes and alike - both in English & in Spanish. Several times, they put microphones in the sea, so we could listen to the whales "singing".
The lunch at Contadora was good, with a number of options and food for everyone.
I had previously searched for private tours, organized with smaller boats for less number of people, which come around 10 times the cost / person versus this group tour. We paid 150$/person for this tour (versus potentially >1000$/person in private tours) and I tend to think this was a better value for money... but no offense to private tours as I don't have the experience and can't comment much on its advantages.
Net, I found this tour amazing and very satisfying for someone who loves nature, but does not know much about whales or their ways of living :) and I equally recommend the company for their positive and professional attitude and service.

Left PTY in drizzling rain but the clouds rolled back for a spectacular day. View of the city, boats lined up for the canal, and of course the whales. Saw mothers with their calves, whales breaching all amidst the spectacular Pearls. Very nice lunch and time for a brief walk around Contadora, before heading back with more whale sightings and dolphins. Great boat and knowledgeable guides, made for a per fect day.

El barco es completamente nuevo y en muy buenas condiciones. Los guías son biólogos y saben bien de lo que hablan y se esfuerzan en hacer el recorrido ameno.
Fuimos en un grupo de 60 personas y a pesar de la cantidad de gente todos pudimos ver bien las ballenas.
En uno de nuestros avistamientos vimos a una ballena jorobada con una red enganchada en la cola, y con gran valentía nuestra guía, Ann, no dudó en ponerse las gafas de buceo, coger un cuchillo y saltar al agua para intentar liberarla. La mala visibilidad del agua impidió que lo consiguiera a pesar de que la ballena se le acercó a pocos metros. Un momento inolvidable que demuestra el gran compromiso con la naturaleza que tienen los organizadores del tour.
Se nota su pasión por su trabajo.
Muy recomedable, nos sorprendió gratamente.

O discurso inicial do passeio é "balenas garantizadas" e posso dizer que é 100% verdade. Tivemos vários avistamentos de baleias e golfinhos, alguns bem próximos do barco. A equipe do barco e super preparada com guias que conhecem dos animais e dão explicações o tempo todo. O barco e super novo, muito confortável! Só não dei 5 estrelas pois a parceiria que fizeram na ilha para o almoço foi péssima, o restaurante serviu um buffet com comida não muito bem feita e infelizmente foi o ponto baixo do passeio.
Algumas dicas:
- leve remédio de enjoo, pegamos um mar batido e várias pessoas passaram mal no caminho para a ilha
- o barco vende bebidas e salgadinhos em um preço bem razoável se não quiser levar os próprios
- leve equipamento de snorkel pois a praia tem vários pontos com peixes

I can't speak to the specifics of the day trips as I was part of a week-long retreat with Anne (the owner), but I can assure you that she has extensive experience working with all types of animals and knows pretty much all there is to know about cetaceans, in Panama and everywhere else, and is learning more all the time. Whale Watching Panama recently became affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution, which maintains a significant presence in Panama. Anne has lived in Panama for more than a decade, speaks fluent Spanish, and will not let you down. You will not find a more knowledgeable guide. And you probably will not find more enthusiastic and wonderful whales anywhere else!

Fantastic trip! Diego and Joshua were wonderful, very informative and fun. We saw so many whales, it was absolutely incredible. Highly recommend this company to anyone visiting or living in Panama. Anne and her team are very nice and truly care about the ocean and the whales.

This is our third trip with Anne and first on the Taboga Express. We were on a private tour and returned to Panama City on the Taboga Express, enjoying a very different experience. We were very impressed at how much families were enjoying both their time together as well as seeing the whales and learning more about them. Photography aboard the Catamaran is easy while it is moving slowly, or stopped to watch the whales. We were also surprised at how many Panama folks did not know of the whales on their doorstep. Great to see them enjoying this rich experience. Anne's informative narrative and the helpful crew make this a one of a kind day. Lunch and transfer to and from the boat via local pangas, along with time on the beach tops it off, But, the greatest thing is to see the surprise and delight on a youngster's face when an enthusiastic young whale starts its acrobatics!

I will be in Panama from the 16th December - 1st January. Is it possible to see humpback whales at this time of year? I have been told from another source that the whale season is now over.

Hi Jamie,
Thank you for your interest in whale watching here in Panama. Your information is correct, our peak whale watching season is July 1 - Oct. 15 each year.
We do receive a few Humpback whales from the Northern hemisphere from December-March, however there are very few and the chances of seeing them are only about 10% as opposed to 99% during our peak season.
From December - May each year we also have feeding Bryde's whales in the area, however they are quite shy, display very little surface activity, so they are hard to find and not as satisfying to watch as the acrobatic and curious humpbacks.
We do offer Dolphin and Snorkel tours to see and possibly swim with our resident dolphin pods and we also offer Embera Village Tours to visit a local tribe of indigenous people who still live out in the rainforest as they have for centuries.
You can contact us directly through our website which can be found by googling Whale Watching Panama or Embera Village Tours.
Whale Wishes,

Tengo una escala en Panama el 31 de julio de 10 horas. Voy con un niño de seis años y me gustaría saber exactamente qué tiempo toma esto, si es seguro que se ven ballenas y si tendríamos tiempo para hacer un tour del canal también. Somos dos adultos y un niño y no puedo tomar riesgos ni de perder el vuelo ni de perder el día. Saldríamos del aeropuerto y regresaríamos a el. Gracias por su respuesta.

Hello, thank you for your interest in whale watching. I apologize, but I do not speak the language you are writing. Our whale watching tours are on the Pacific side from Panama city and the Pearl Islands. The whales are not on the Caribbean side where the San Blas tours are. We do not handle tours to the San Blas. Humpback whale watching season is between the months of July and middle of October. You can find all of our tours on our Whale Watching Panama website. We do offer tours to the Embera Indigenous village and we are happy to help you out at Embera Village Tours.

My family is interested in visiting in February - March. How does this time rate for probability of good viewing conditions?
WhaleWisdom
Сан-Клементе, Калифорния2 публикации
Hello, Thank you for your interest in our whale watching tours. Our peak humpback whale watching season is July-October with a 99% chance of seeing the whales. At that time we have over 2,000 humpback whales from the Southern hemisphere (Antarctica) in Panama waters who have come to give birth and breed. During the months of December-March we do have a smaller number of humpback whales (around 300) from the Northern Hemisphere (Alaska-California) who also come to give birth and breed. In November, we may have a few late and early whales around too. In the months of March-May we typically have a few (we don’t know how many) Bryde’s whales in the area. So for the months from November-June we have about 25% or less chance of seeing whales on our trips.
During the months of November-June, we focus our trips on seeing the resident pods of dolphins. We also have the possibility of even swimming with the dolphins on these tours. Our chances of swimming with the dolphins depends on their behavior and interest level in us, as well as water safety conditions. We also do some snorkeling on one of the Pearl islands at a beautiful coral reef teeming with colorful tropical fish. If we see a whale on these trips, then it is a big bonus to our day.
If you would like to go out on a Dolphin & Snorkel tour with us while you are here in Panama, contact us through our Whale Watching Panama website.
Whale wishes,
