Pelicano Island overnight stay.

Group cabins accommodate 6–8 guests and private cabins accommodate 2–4. Both use shared bathrooms, with basic showers that use treated water.

Yes. Solo travellers can book the group cabin, but private cabins can’t be booked by one person.

Neither, exactly. The showers on the islands are very basic and rustic. The water is taken from the ocean and goes through an underground treatment process, then it’s pumped up to the showers, so it isn’t salt water, but it isn’t fully fresh water like you’d find in a hotel or city either.

Yes. Children can stay only in private cabins, where they count towards occupancy. Ages 5–9 cost USD 130.00 for one night or USD 85.00 per night for 2+ nights, and toddlers aged 0–4 cost USD 50.00. There is no minimum age.

Yes. Excursions are included in the price, with visits to 2–3 islands depending on the length of your stay. They generally include the famous natural pool or snorkelling. Exact routes and schedules are confirmed on arrival, based on weather and island logistics.

All extras and add-ons must be selected and paid for when you book. Once the day of your trip arrives, you can’t add or request any extras or add-ons.

Yes. Island meals and one juice, soda or water with each meal are included, with seafood or chicken available. The menu depends on the day’s availability. On the standard checkout day, only breakfast is included. The arrival-day restaurant breakfast is separate.

Each included meal comes with 1 drink: water, juice or soda. If you’d like more, you can buy extra drinks on the island.

Pickup is available at any hotel, Airbnb or private address within the designated coverage areas in Panama City. It is generally 5:00 – 5:20 AM, and departure is around 5:30 AM.

We pick you up and drop you off at hotels, hostels and Airbnb in and around Panama City. When you book, search for your pickup location and the booking system will tell you whether it’s inside our pickup area. Pickups from the Westin Playa Bonita or Dreams Playa Bonita cost an extra USD 10.00 per person. You can change your pickup location up to 24 hours before your trip; changes on the morning of the trip aren’t possible. After your trip, we can also drop you off at Tocumen International Airport, Albrook Airport or Albrook Bus Terminal at no extra cost. Just let us know when you leave the islands so we can arrange it.

Standard departure returns around 12:00 – 1:00 PM; late checkout returns around 7:00 – 7:30 PM.

It costs USD 35.00 per person, includes lunch and extends your island time until the 3:00 PM departure. Select and pay for it while booking, as it can’t be added on the day of your trip. You vacate the cabin at 9:00 AM.

Yes. You’re welcome to bring your own alcohol, drinks and snacks for your stay.

Wi-Fi is generally available on the island while the generators are on, but once they’re turned off at night there’s no signal until the next day. Mobile signal varies a lot by island, location, time of day and weather, and phone reception in and around the islands is generally very weak.

Yes. Island staff can prepare eggs with other foods such as rice, beans, potatoes, fries, salads and fruit, among other options. What’s available varies from island to island, so tell the staff your requests when you arrive. There are no vegetarian protein options such as tofu or soy products. Vegans can have a double portion of the sides, such as rice, beans and salad, in place of the chicken, meat or fish. We recommend that vegetarians and vegans bring their own snacks, food and drinks to have during and between meals.

Starfish are usually around the natural pool, but they won’t always be there, so sightings aren’t guaranteed.
