During your trip through Panama with the Morpho Van you will pass many beautiful coasts and lagoons which invite active tourists to hop on a paddle board for stand-up paddle boarding. Now it’s time to get active!
After all the sitting in your campervan your body is calling for movement. In Panama there are not only first class surf spots but also great opportunities for stand-up paddle boarding. Here in Panama you are offered a breathtaking scenery. In the shallow bays, for example at Playa Hermosa in Boca Chica, you will find the ideal conditions for a very special experience on your paddle board. Stand-Up Paddle boarding is very trendy and trains your whole body! SUP, as it is called in short, is the ideal sport for the summer on the sea, where you move each of your muscles and your entire circulation gets going.
Of course, having fun on the board off the coast of Panama comes first. No matter how old or fit you are, SUP will keep your joints protected and your deep muscles moving in a healthy way. After the long sitting in the plane and in the Morpho Van, this sport offers you the ideal balance. On the Pacific and Caribbean coast it is a real adventure. Here you are not just paddling around on a lake, but are in the middle of the sea and discover a unique world.
Animal Watching while Stand-Up Paddle boarding in Panama
As your paddle board past mangroves, you can encounter just about every type of animal from dolphins, sloths, pelicans and toucans. The Pacific coast off Panama is home to an incredible biodiversity and even spider monkeys and howler monkeys hang out lazily on the beach in the sun.
The beautiful coral reefs and shallow waters off Boca Chica attract various marine life such as humpback whales, manta rays and around Bocas del Toro it is nearly a 100% chance to see dolphins. The water is clear, so you can relax on your paddle board and enjoy nature and the fresh breeze.
Morpho Van provides a Paddle board
A vacation in Panama includes exploring the underwater world and the beautiful coastline with its miles of beaches. And this works perfectly with a paddle board and a snorkel mask. Not on the sea surface, but also underwater Panama fascinates with its incredible beauty.
In January, orcas and whale sharks cruise the waters and in August, humpback whales mate in the bays and give birth to their calves. The three most famous species of sea turtles, such as the olive ridley, green giant and leatherback, and many others are native to Panama. Manta rays and other rays, tunas, parrotfish, reef sharks and hammerheads are just a few candidates you may encounter in Caribbean and Pacific waters.
That’s why when stand-up paddle boarding in Panama, always keep your eyes open! Always remember sunscreen and appropriate protective clothing, as there is an acute risk of sunburn on the water. Sufficient drinking water and a life jacket will make your trip on the sea safe.
Our Snorkeling and Paddle Boarding Service Package at Morpho Van includes an inflatable paddle board + fin, air pump, paddle, a bag and 2 full face snorkeling masks which will bring the ultimate fun and unforgettable moments in and on the sea in Panama.
