Let’s Plan Your Arrival
to Isla Palenque Resort

We know you might like to see your best travel options laid out in detail. Select an option, and we’ll explain the rest:

  • Best option if you want to get to Isla Palenque right away. 90% of the time, we find this is the best way for most travelers.
  • Fly into Panama City’s Tocumen International Airport (PTY)
  • Take a brief, connecting flight to Enrique Malek Airport (DAV) in David, Panama (60 mins). There’s an additional fee for airport transfer.
  • From David Airport, we’ll meet you and bring you to the port in Boca Chica (60 mins.)
  • Set sail from Boca Chica on a short, 15-min. boat ride to Isla Palenque
  • Best option if you’re traveling within Panama beforehand.
  • From David Airport, we’ll meet you and bring you to the port in Boca Chica (60 mins.)
  • Set sail from Boca Chica on a short, 15-min. boat ride to Isla Palenque
  • Best option if you’re coming from Costa Rica.
  • Take a brief, connecting flight from San Jose International Airport (SJO) to Golfito Airport (GLF), Costa Rica (50 mins.)
  • We’ll meet you at Golfito Airport and bring you to the border in Paso Canoas, Costa Rica (60 mins.). The crossing will require you to switch vehicles, but not to worry — our team will assist you every step of the way to ensure a safe and seamless border crossing into Panama. Please note that border crossing assistance and transportation incur an additional cost.
  • From the border, we’ll bring you to the port in Boca Chica, Panama (1 hr. 45 mins.).
  • Set sail from Boca Chica on a short, 15-min. boat ride to Isla Palenque
  • We can also arrange Private Drivers for you. We can drive you directly from your hotel in San Jose, Costa Rica to the border in Paso Canoas, and then onward to Isla Palenque in Panama. You’ll be assisted throughout the journey for a smooth and stress-free border crossing. Ask us for details and pricing.
  • You can leave your car at the port’s private parking, see the Google Maps pin here.

Which option is best for you?  We can help you decide. We can also arrange all your travel within Panama for you — just ask us.

Getting Here is Easy

“We organized transport through the hotel and, without a hitch, the Palenque-drivers got us in and out of Panama City, then to our flight to David, and finally by van/boat to Isla Palenque – ready for our welcome drink in this unique, beautiful jungle setting.”
