Private Surf Break
SURF IN PARADISE
Selva Terra has it’s own private surf beach break, just a 5 minute paddle away. Beat the crowds and famous surf spots and come surf with us in tropical paradise, without having to wait at the line up!
The best season for Panama surf (Pacific coast) 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.
Majestic Beasts
WHALE WATCHING
Here’s your chance to get up close to the majestic giants of the sea! Selva Terra offers 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.
Watch 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 AND SUNSET TOURS
The perfect way to relax and enjoy a half day could be exploring the surrounding islands. 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. These beaches are great for swimming, snorkeling or just relaxing.
Or as the sky streaks orange, head out on a private sunset cruise 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.
Meet the Island Residents
HIKING trails
You will find plenty of opportunities to explore the island on our nature trail and see the howler monkeys, sloths, porcupines, butterflies and the wide variety of wildlife that live in the vegetation. If you are in the mood for a relaxing walk there is a shorter and easier trail to follow.
JUNGLE HORSEBACK RIDING
Our 2 hour Trek includes a short boat ride to the horse stables on Isla Boca Brava.
