Begin your transformative Panamanian adventure with a journey to Cañas Island, a sanctuary dedicated to sea turtle conservation. After a seamless pickup from your hotel in Playa Venao and a short scenic water transfer, you’ll arrive at this lush paradise.

Your exploration continues with a rejuvenating kayaking tour through the verdant mangroves of Isla Cañas Wildlife Refuge. Enjoy a traditional horse-drawn cart tour of the island, followed by a delicious meal prepared by the community. Return to your boutique hotel in Playa Venao for relaxation and comfort.

Wrap up your journey with a serene beachside yoga session at Playa Venao, guided by a local instructor. Dive into the local surfing scene with a lesson tailored to all skill levels.
