Private Surf Break

Selva Terra has it’s own private surf beach break, just a 5 minute paddle away.  

The best season for surfing on the Pacific coast of Panama, is between the months of April to August due to consistent swells from the southwest. Our beach break is perfect for beginners to intermediate surfers and offers all-year round good surfing for beginners.

We also operate surf trips to the famous Isla Silva and La Barqueta which are 1hr away by boat from our resort.

Whale
Watching

Majestic Beasts

Here’s your chance to get up close to the majestic giants of the sea! There is a 95% success rate to see a whale between July 15 -October 1. 

As one of the few locations in the world where both northern and southern hemisphere Humpback Whales migrate, the amount of whale activity in the region is astounding.

Embark on a whalewatching nature tour in Panama to witness these almighty hulks breach from the water as they teach their calves to swim before continuing with their migration. Whales aren’t the only thing we spot—pods of friendly and inquisitive dolphins will occasionally come frolic and play near the boat.

Island Hopping
& Sunset Tours

Embark on a 20 minute journey of discovery across the waters of the Gulf of Chiriquí towards the unspoiled Isla Gamez or Bolaños, where the cool shade of swaying palms fan over white sandy beaches. 

Or as the sky streaks orange, head out on a private sunset tour and soak up the spectacular sight of the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean over a glass of wine. A relaxing, romantic and memorable way to welcome the evening.

Rainforest Hikes

Located at the end of our beach, is the start of our guided jungle tour. You will find plenty of opportunities to explore the island and see the howler monkeys, porcupines, butterflies and the wide variety of wildlife that live in the vegetation.
