ISLA TABOGA, PANAMA: The PERFECT BEACH Getaway from Panama City!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- If you are looking for the best day trip from Panama City or a beach escape from Panama City, Taboga Island is the perfect spot! Isla Taboga is located just 20 km from the city. It takes 30 minutes via the Taboga Express Fast Ferry to reach Isla Taboga. Once on the island most people just head straight to the beaches but before we did that we had to explore the island. There aren’t many things to do on Taboga Island other than enjoy the tranquility and the beach but we did find out there are a couple hikes. We ended up hiking to the Cross on the Hill, Cerro del Cruz, and it was intense which you will see in the video. Afterwards we booked it to the nearest Pina Colada and then cooled off on Playa Restinga the main swimming beach in town. We hope you enjoy this Panama Vlog and that this Isla Taboga Travel Guide helps you plan your trip there! #panama #panamacity

My husband and I live part-time on Isla Taboga and really enjoyed your video. Loved seeing some of our favorite places on the island. Your enthusiasm and positiveness was appreciated. Since your visit, Isla Taboga now has improved signage and information on the island thus hiking to Cerro de la Cruz and the Old Bunker of Cerro El Vigia is easy to find. Recommend returning from that Bunker into the pueblo via the Tres Cruces (Three Crosses) trail. Looking forward to viewing your other videos!
Thank you Sue!
The beach looks amazing … just gorgeous
Cooling off in that water was everything!!
@@TheCountryCollectors I bet
A lot of West Indies people lost their lives trying to build the Panamá Canal. West Indies, French, English…gotta show love to everyone that help build that wonder!
❤️🙏😊
Didn't know that. A lot of people lost their lives throughout the Americas...won't forget the history, but love it nonetheless!
Taboga is awesome! I used to go every other weekend. For anyone going to Panama There is also a catamaran called red cat, is all inclusive with lunch, and they take you to the back of the island for a swim and then they let you get out in the town and you can get your pina colada and explore and then head back to the city.
That’s wonderful!
What a stunning country . It's come a long way from the Noriega days ...
Hi Don! Thanks for joining us.
I absolutely loved this video showcasing Taboga Island as a fantastic day trip from Panama City! The scenic beauty, combined with the tranquil beaches and hiking opportunities, makes it a perfect escape. Can't wait to visit and explore this hidden gem!
Wow thanks!!
Fish looks great and what a deal with the Pina colada wish my local watering hole did that!
😂 They are very generous!
That ferry ride was awesome I can't believe how many ships are out there!
I know! Just wait - there’s more in a bit!
How long did the hike to the cross take?? Beautiful scenery.
About an hour
Those empanadas do look perfect. Did she have a salsa for them?
They were so good! I’m not sure if she did but they didn’t even need it!
Great video! How long was the hike? I felt your pain when you said August but it was April 😂! Nice job!! Glad you made it safe & sound.
Yes! Thank you! It took a couple of hours walking round trip! Thank you for understanding 🤣😊
That Pina Colada must have tasted so good after that hike! A zip line is a great idea Adam.
Omg it was incredible!
Love it! Taboga is such a nice day trip. If you really want to escape the city and enjoy amazing islands, hit up the Pearl Islands! A little longer on the ferry but totally worth it and you feel like you are truly on an island! And no crazy road trip like San Blas….
Oh we were thinking about that too! Will have to go next time! Thanks!!
The hike to the bunker is not as difficult. My family is from Taboga🥰🏖️
🙏❤️
Hey guys as always great video. I have a confession Heidli? while you and Adam were sludging up that hill in that hot sun all French Foreign Legion style, I was sitting back shamelessly enjoying an antarctic ice-cold beer thinking of how Adam would have enjoyed a bevy? but I was there for you in spirit buddy, lol. Seriously guys plezzzze be careful of the heat down there it can really mess you up. Be safe okay, your friends Patricia and Thomas from Toronto, Canada
Haha 😂 you’re too funny! Oh man that sounds so good!!
I'll see you guys on the next time @The Country Collectors... PD. You should get a full body tan!...😅😂🤣🥰💝💖
lol 😂 we will try!!
Absolutely amazing and enjoyed watching your vlog, so cool and wonderful Panama, I'm just impressed how you made it ever more exciting for those watching and wanting to visit ❤😅
Thank you 🙏
I read somewhere that this island has the highest density of Coral Snakes on earth, but have not been able to confirm this through other sources. Can anyone confirm or disprove this?
Didn’t see any
Nice video but you should suggest to your followers to be becareful when they go up into that hill never go alone is dangerous too.
Thanks
playa restinga rrestuarant with the pina colado. what was it caled?
I’m not sure. If you watch the video I’m sure you can see it
Loved your video! I graduated high school there at Balboa High School and we made so many trips to Taboga Island. Brings back so many wonderful memories!
🙏❤️😊
Best video of Taboga Island!, Thank you for bringing a little piece of my country to the world 🌍❤️
Our pleasure!
Good morning country collectors 😊 happy Mother’s Day
Good morning Tammy!!
I can almost feel the heat through the screen!
So hot!!

Thank you 🙏
WOW! Beautiful Isla Taboga!
This must be a fun and enjoyable visit.
Amazing sceneries and delicious food.
Thank you for this amazing tour video!

It’s April but feels like august lol

@@TheCountryCollectors 🤣🤣🤣
I have not been in a few years. Time to get out of the city and do Taboga again
❤️🙏😊
You both have great videos ❤ love it
Thank you so much!!😊
Free refill pina colada … nooo way … now that is a deal
Seriously!!!
Great video as always ❤ do you all plan to travel El Savador, Nicaragua, or Belize?
Love from Tampa!
Hey! We have been there years ago - wonderful spots but you can’t bring a drone to Belize or Nica so we had to skip through those spots!
@The Country Collectors thanks! Good tip
Nice video you two! Nice tan Adam!😂
Thanks haha 😂
How hot? humid? on the walk to the cross.
Omg 😳 insane. Felt like 110 degrees.
It’s like the equivalent of Catalina island off the coast of Los Angeles.
Oh nice!
@@TheCountryCollectors have you guys been ?
Great video guys! We are planning to visit Taboga in April!
Have fun!
Keep up the great content guys 😊
Thanks Ed!
Look at your tans … I’m sooo jealous lol
Lol Adam’s tan lines!
Umbrellas help on a hike like that!
👍
It did not look like that in 1973 !
I’m sure!
It’s 5 o’clock somewhere lol
Lol you’re right!
You are great doing these videos, you are awesome 😊👍💙
Thank you so much 😁
as a kid i grew up in panama, thanks for th memoried
s
🙏❤️
Pups on a mission lol … cutie
🐶
What a beautiful spot with the cross … a zip line is a fantastic idea lol
Right into the water!
Thanks for taking that moment by the water that was very calming.
It’s our pleasure!
I was just there in February. I was lucky to see newly hatched turtles in Playa Restinga. I also enjoyed the Panamanian pineapples that don't hurt your tongue.
Oh wow no way! That’s so special!
They are nice and sweet!
What a cute and relaxing island … love it so far ❤️❤️
It really is!!
Great area 🏝🏝🏖🏖💕💕😎😎🙏🙏✝️
Thanks!!
I like you guys
😊
The town is stunning… and very colourful
It has such a nice vibe too!
Too hot for me!!
Yes it’s crazy!
That’s cool to know the history of the island and that those who were sick working on the canal were quarantined there. Malaria and yellow fever are terrible glad there is medication for that now. And phew I’m hot for you guys but I’m glad you made it and did it before cooling off at the beach.
Thanks for joining us!
It's a beautiful Island. That was a good hike. Hope you didn't get sun burns.
Thanks 🙏 no we didn’t!
I've been watching quite a few ex-patriots to Panama videos, and yours are probably the most interesting to follow along. Good editing, good banter between the two, and informative with wonderfully captured scenery. Good work, Steve.
Wow, thanks! 🙏 I appreciate you! We were a great team! It was a really wonderful time in our lives together.
Thanks!
Thank you so much. Sorry for the late reply. I appreciate you ❤️🙏😊
Wow that hot hike is way out of my league, but what a view. I’d still be sweating. You’re troupers! So glad you ended with a swim. What’s better?
Yeah we wouldn’t do it again haha 😂 Thanks for being here Alex!
Like #6... @The Country Collectors... Good morning! 🇲🇽❤🇺🇲🥰😋💝😜🤪🥴🤭😁😲😉😘🤗🥺🤠🧐😕🙁☹️😭😅😂😈🌎🌍🌏🌡️ Saluditos cordiales nuevamente desde Zumpango Estado de México 😊
Luis!! Buenos días mi amigo!
Great job guys!! That was a hard hike but you both did it! My wife liked the piña colada! How much was it? 🍍
Thanks! $7 with a refill!
I love all the flowers they are gorgeous.
Same!!
Awesome video guys the heat on Taboga is wow. You guys are awesome.
❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
Great video of such a beautiful island! I could feel the heat coming off that pathway all the way up here in Canada! Glad you guys survived! See you next Sunday! Cheers! Lisa from Winnipeg
Hi Lisa! Oh man that was a tuffy - as my grandpa would say!! Thanks for joining us!
It does look like battleships lol
They are just waiting!! Crazy!
@@TheCountryCollectors why a beautiful spot to wait around
Looks like alot of fun! (except for the trek up the hill). Next time, just send your drone up there 😉
Good idea haha 😂
Another great one you two! Lots of laughs in this one thanks for brightening my morning! See you next week.
Thanks for being here!
Ohhh wow the heat is crazy … thank you for the sacrifice.. you are amazing
It was insane … so hard 🥵
You guys are troopers for sticking it out in that heat ..
Thanks Tammy! I don’t know how we did it!
@@TheCountryCollectors you guys are an inspiration
Thanks for hiking that mountain for us! It was a beautiful view! Those piña coladas are calling to me!
They were so tasty!! Thanks for joining us!
I love the sound of Adams descriptions of beauty and cuisine! 🎉
😊 Thank you!!
❤
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for the great video. This is giving me ideas on what to do whenever I get to visit. Thanks for the hike to the cross as I am not sure I would hang in there. The view is incredible.
Thanks Brenda! We hope you have fun!
That hike was over the top
Crazy!! So beautiful though!
Good Morning Heidi and Adam! I am ready for an escape this morning to a nice tropical island.
Yay!
Thanks for doing that hike because I would be on that beach lol
Totally get it!
Can tell you are a natural athlete just from those little hoop moves you showed!
Haha 😂 oh the glory days!!
I need to catch up on your previous Panama videos because it looks nice!
It is!!
Nice little island. Thanks for showing us this spot you two.
It’s our pleasure!
You guys are troopers I would have turned back too! 😆
Lol 😆 never again!
What a fun video … thank you so much for showing off this amazing little island
It’s our pleasure! Thanks for being here!
Lol the white muscle shirt makes another appearance 😅😅.
Haha 😂 it’s back!!
Buenos dias and Happy Mother's Day everyone!
Buenos días ☀️
Happy Monday! April and it's that hot. Wow. Was it equally humid too? Adam -- I saw a t-shirt: "Bad puns are how eye roll" I thought of you immediately
Haha 😂 that’s hilarious! Yes it’s insane and super humid! Not comfortable at all!
You guys do such a great job of bringing these places to our screens thank you!
😊
Jajajaj 😂 you were to taboga in the hottest season. The best period to go is from december to february. I also recommend going to pearl islands
Yea absolutely terrible time to be here lol just because of the heat!! It could kill you no doubt!
Golf cart garage that’s awesome 😎
We have never seen that before! 😃
@@TheCountryCollectors ❤️❤️
THanks for the info....(dont wear black in hot sun!)
😊
The island looks amazing. The beaches, the hills and colors of the town are phenomenal. I like how chill the place is. It doesn't seem overly touristy. That was my only issue with places like Isla Mujeres. Way too many people. Is it always that hot in Panama? Year round? Well done making it the top. What a trek and what a view. I want to do a jump off the Pirate ship. Now that's a pina colada!!! Oh that fish looks Delicious. It's like Sand Bar Island off Bar Harbor.
Hey!! Oh man I hope it’s not always this hot I don’t know how people survive!!
Haha it is not always this hot. This year “El niño” natural phenomenon has delayed the rains, but the humidity is there which makes it feel hotter than normal.
Ahh I see!
The views up there we worth the pain good job guys!
It was tough but we did it!
How long did the hike take? We will be visiting Taboga in a couple months and staying a few days.
🙏❤️
Cover up, skin cancer is no joke, ball caps don't cover your ears, because we love you.
👍 Thanks for worrying about us.
I love your attitude.. you both make me smile.
Aww thanks 🙏 for sharing!
Most likely most black in that cemetery
🤷
I love how you always push local spots and make sure you give them recognition.
The locals are what make a place so special!
Yes I found it. Thanks
I’m so glad! Have amazing adventures!
Heidi: b7 Adam: You sank my battleship!
Lol 😂
Didn’t it look like that?!
nice trip, we are there too.... un saludo
Cool 👍
DIY saves tons of money! Buen trabajo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
100%
I have been there on a tour, It was beautiful
Oh that’s awesome!
Ohhh beach day … how fun
Yes a nice little escape!
@@TheCountryCollectors 🌊🌊❤️❤️
We were in Panama City and want to go somewhere that was easy to visit. I remembered your video and we easily got on the ferry and enjoyed Taboga Island. Now we miss Panama after getting home 2 weeks ago. So I watch your video again and appreciate the effort that went into making it. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
What the cost by taxi to get from Panama city to the ferry dock?
@alanareason6101 I took an Uber from Playa Bonita, which is about 15-20 minutes outside of the city. I cost around $10.00 with Uber.
