The warm and rich waters washing the Panamanian coastline, and in the Pacific Ocean slope, offer whales the ideal environment to give birth and develop its brood.  Along the pacific coast of Panama, you may observe how the waters surrounding the great Coiba Island become true sanctuaries of life for these aquatic and large mammals, which may be seen from boats or from the islands or islets abounding in the surroundings.  There are guided tours to this marvelous island and other ones as Isla Iguana, Las Perlas Archipelago or the Chiriqui Gulf.
