Tip

Book a morning boat tour from Playas del Coco or Playa Panamá and ask the operator to time the stop with low tide.

Be careful

Enter the caves only at low tide and with care: waves surge in and the rock is slippery. The old cliff-top trail was closed by resort construction in 2023.

Getting there

By boat only: tours leave from Playas del Coco and Playa Panamá, typically around 7 am and back by noon.
