Santa Catalina Tours
& Local Day Trips
Our Coastal Tours depart from the Town Beach where the Fluid shop is located. These day trips explore the diverse area of the Pacific close to the village of Santa Catalina. The Montijo Bay offers many adventure options in and around Isla Cebaco, Isla Gobernadero, the West coast of the Azuero Peninsula, El banco and Cativo. We’re excited to share this diverse region.
Exploring and paddling (SUP or kayak) to beautiful Santa Catalina Island and the beaches and mangroves this area offers does not disappoint. We love this white sand beach with funky attitude and there’s some fish to be seen for the snorkelers. Yes, we also rent our gear to those with experience who wish to self guide.

Coastal, Beach and Mangrove Explorer (Kayak)

Paddle West along the Pacific Panamanian Coast exploring coves and bays en route to this beautiful white sand beach destination, huddled within a bay.

Discover Isla Gobernadero
Pricing: $80 per person, 4 person minimum (Private tours available)
Isla Gobernadero has a pace all it’s own. Nestled between Santa Catalina and Cebaco in the Montijo Bay, the island has a unique feel a sleepy, easy-vibe village kinda feeling with a majestic Art lodge (link), fisherman and artisanal lifestyles. We’re happy to offer a day motorboat tour to visit the island, go for a stroll on the sidewalk road, grab some local fare (fried fish and yucca maybe?) and find a beach to chill and swim.
