Planning a trip to Panama
Pulled from the route below — so it says what it does, not what a brochure would.
When to go
Dec–Apr — the months this route recommends.
How long you need
Every route here runs 9 days.
What it costs
≈ AED 800 per person per day. Beds, food, getting around and things to do — costed line by line in each guide, not estimated from a daily rate.
Entry on an Indian passport
Embassy or consulate in advance. Certain multi-entry US, UK, Canadian or EU visas can stand in. Checked 2026-11 against Wikipedia’s compilation of IATA Timatic entries. Entry rules depend on your passport and where you live, and they change with little notice — confirm with the embassy or your airline before you book. Check another country.

Best for: Two oceans + islands
Panama in 9 days: the Canal, Bocas del Toro and San Blas
Panama City → San Blas → Bocas del Toro
A country narrow enough to see both oceans in a day, and two island groups that could not be less alike: ships climbing through locks between the Atlantic and Pacific, an archipelago of 365 islands run by the Guna themselves, and a Caribbean backpacker chain with reefs — with the boat realities and the US dollar that is already in your wallet.
