Overnight Adventure with SwayStays in Bocas del Toro

Bocas del Toro, located in the lush Provincia de Bocas del Toro, Panama, is a gateway to tropical island adventures framed by turquoise waters and untouched natural beauty. Here, SwayStays offers an immersive multi-day journey through some of the archipelago’s standout spots—Zapatilla Island, Playa Estrella (Starfish Beach), Bird Island, and Hospital Point—crafted for those who want to push beyond the usual day trip.

The spotlight shines first on an overnight at Starfish Beach, a rare opportunity to experience the region when the crowds have left and the ocean’s quiet hum takes over. After arriving by boat, guests enjoy pristine beaches dotted with colorful starfish and the exclusive calm of early morning light. The night unfolds with stargazing under some of the clearest skies you’ll find in the Caribbean, a celestial display enhanced by the remoteness of this protected area.

By day, the adventure expands with snorkeling and intro spearfishing lessons at Hospital Point, where vibrant coral reefs and schools of tropical fish make every underwater moment vivid. Those interested in hands-on learning can try their hand at spearfishing or sailing, guided by Brandon, whose deep knowledge of the area enhances the authenticity of the experience. Bird Island rounds out the trip, a haven for local bird species and marine life, perfect for nature enthusiasts.

SwayStays’s approach balances thrill and tranquility, creating a memorable connection to Bocas del Toro’s natural wonders. Whether it’s the possibility of spotting dolphins en route, the comfort of well-equipped boats with clean cabins, or the warm, welcoming hosts praised by previous visitors, this offering is a standout in Panama’s outdoor recreation scene. For adventurers looking to blend adventure and learning in a spectacular setting, SwayStays is a compelling choice.
