My husband and I are planning our trip to the Island of San Cristobal - 20min boat ride from Bocas del Toro, the first week in May. We have a couple of questions:
We are a little concened about the weather. Can anyone give us an idea about how much rain we can expect? What has it been like in the past years?
Our flight gets into Panama City on May 5th at 12:45 PM; do you think it would be safe to book a 3:30 flight to Bocas Del Toro on the same day? We'll have to take a…
Can anyone provide insights or recommend this lodge? I am interested in birding and am looking for a less-expensive alternative to the Canopy Tower and Gamboa Rainforest Resort. I searched but can find only one poster who commented that he/she loved the place back in 2005 but it was the first and only post from this poster so I'm a little suspect.
can anyone recommend a birding guide based in Boquete?
can one stay at finca lerida outside boquete and walk around and see wildlife without the use of a guide?
thanks

Hi there,
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what the weather is like in San Blas this time of year? I've heard mixed things about rain, rough seas, no winds, etc.

I've got only four days to spend on the beach in Panama, and I would like to spend that time in one location. I know there are a number of beautiful options, and I'm looking for some guidance on which it should be. I'd prefer someplace where I won't have to compete for space with cruise passengers or bus loads of gringos (like me) and where there would be other things to do (cultural, exploration, whatever) in the locale. Good diving opportunities would definitely be a plus. Thank you in…
Can anyone in-country or recently in- pass along general availability of flights and whether or not to get reservations? I'm interested in David to Bocas and Bocas to PC. Can they be bought day of?

Many thanks.
