Bocas del Toro Panama Travel Guide - Captivating & Unforgettable | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids
Welcome to Bocas Del Toro, a beautiful province in Panama!
Did you know that Bocas Del Toro, translated from Spanish means “Bull’s river mouths?” Such name might sound scary to you, but don’t worry, both place and its locals are warm and friendly. However, the capital of this province bears the same name – the city of Bocas del Toro or Bocas Town for short, and it is located on Isla Colón.
Bocas Del Toro might not have a vast territory, but it is proud to have two national parks on it - La Amistad International Park and Isla Bastimentos National Marine Park. Another interesting fact is that the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute has a research station located close to Bocas Town, so you can be sure you’ll be surrounded by fantastic nature that’s worth exploring.
If you are looking for accommodation for your holiday here, we would recommend you to check out the wonderful Cosmic Crab Resort. It is located on Isla Carenero, and it is where we stayed at. For a reasonable price, you will have a chance to enjoy refreshing Caribbean breezes and sunbathe near coconut trees while eating delicious food. What more could you ask for?

Filthy Friday Bocas 2017 - Like a Dream
FILTHY FRIDAY BOCAS 2017: LIKE A DREAM
Dear Filthy Family,
37 crazy weeks have passed since the first boat full of wild-eyed partiers motored off towards Isla Solarte and the Blue Coconut, for the very first Filthy Friday party in Bocas del Toro, Panama.
Back then we had the vision, belief, and the execution to do something new in our Caribbean home. To throw a world-class party right here in Bocas.
Now we have seen just a glimpse of what's to come in our party's future. We've had over 5,000 guests from 100+ countries dancing and swimming and loving life under our banners, with our DJ's playing loud.
We couldn’t have had such a successful 2017 without the support of the businesses and locals in Bocas del Toro, who believed in us from the beginning when we were knocking on doors looking for support.
This idea started over breakfast and ended with New Years Eve fireworks and our first sold out event of ~400 guests, sealing off 2017 as the first of many years of Filthy Friday to come.
Thank you to all of our supporters, staff, DJ's, MC's, social media and A/V department - and most of all our guests, followers, sponsors and fans - because without you, this legend couldn't continue to spread like a virus across the planet - and inspire the next year's worth of Filthy Guests to head to our islands and get LIT with us!
Long live Filthy Friday!

Bocas Del Toro – The Island Life
Bocas del Toro – they told me it was going to be full of tourists and parties…and they were right, haha. But hey, I guess you have to do a little bit of that too – be a classic tourist – right? :P
Long day – 5 hour taxi ride from Boquette to Bocas del Toro, including a water taxi, but the first day wasn’t too bad! Mountains to beaches and 60-degree weather to 90-degree weather.
Come to these islands – if you’re here early enough on a Friday, you can go on a island pub crawl, Filthy Friday, which basically lasts from noon to midnight…I did not get here in time for that…but maybe next time ;)
But I did get to enjoy a bit of the island vibes and a small after party.
Three more days here – let’s see what Bocas has to offer! :)
P.S. those are not bananas, they’re actually green plantains :P
