Coiba Island was once home to a notorious prison that operated from 1919 to 2004. Used to isolate dangerous criminals and political prisoners, it gained a dark reputation during Panama’s military dictatorship. Today, the abandoned prison stands in stark contrast to the island’s natural beauty, offering a glimpse into Coiba’s complex history.
Our experienced staff will coordinate transportation to Coiba Island and guide you through an unforgettable day of exploration. In addition to snorkeling in pristine waters and visiting nearby islands, the tour includes a stop at the former Coiba Prison. You’ll walk through the remnants of the facility, learning about its history and the role it played during Panama’s past, all while surrounded by the island’s stunning natural beauty.
