Day 1: Enjoy private transportation that will pick you up from the Panama International Airport and head to downtown
Panama City. Explore the scenery of Panama in an air conditioned microbus en route to the
Veneto Hotel & Casino, where you'll stay in a Deluxe Room.
Located in the heart of Panama's renowned banking and financial center, the Five Star hotel offers beautifully appointed accommodations, superb cuisine, a Las Vegas style casino and attentive service.
Day 2: Today a private shuttle will take you to the Flamenco Pier from which you will set sail on a private 26-foot yacht for your full day fishing tour to San Jose Island in the Las Perlas archipelago. Enjoy beautiful views of the 40 island chain as you motor by on the 26-foot Persuit. The white sand beaches fall off into waters abundant with fish.
Fishing in Panama is seasonal yet there is no bad season, just different types of fish. In our summer months (December-May) the seas are flooded with pargo (red snapper), mero (grouper) and amberjack. The ocean temperature drops during these months and the bottom dwelling fish will move to the surface and hit surface lures. The hottest part of the pargo season is February through March.
There are often swarms of feeding fish behind the island of Pacheca. The sea literally turns orange from the fish in a feeding frenzy on top of the water. There is also great bottom fishing throughout the islands at this time of year. The outer islands harbor large jack, tuna, wahoo and sailfish. All equipment is included along with snacks, dips, ceviche, sandwiches, lunch, water, sodas, rum and beers.
Day 3: Ready for a little adventure? You do the driving today with your Toyota Rav-4 rental vehicle. Take advantage of the quality suspension as you get to know the Panamanian country side.
Your destination:
Pedasi, a small fishing village on the Azuero Peninsula. Here you'll stay at the Casa Margarita Inn Bed & Breakfast in the charming downtown area, just 5 minutes from several beaches and a small marina. This is the ideal setting for surfers, fishing aficionados and those who just want to relax. The hotel is a recently remodeled country home that retains its rustic charm so that guests can enjoy the feeling of being in an authentic Panamanian home with modern conveniences.
Day 4-5: Spend the next two days on the open seas with your own fishing captain and boat.
Day 6:
You have all day to meander back to Panama City today where you'll return to the Veneto Hotel & Casino in the heart of the city for one last night of fun.
Day 7: Your Panama fishing tour has come to an end. A private shuttle will pick you up and take you to the airport for your international flight home.
