Modern Panama City skyline is constantly evolving, and it is the city with the tallest buildings in Latinoamerica (with some reaching hights above 58 stores, or 250 mts).
For the sunset kayaking we will start paddling at Punta Paitilla, and Punta Pacifica. Then paddle in front of the modern skyscrapers placed along the city ocean front by Cinta Costera or the Balboa Avenue in our right, and overlooking at the distance Taboga Island, Amador Islands, and vessels waiting their turn to enter the canal in our left hand with the Amador Coastway and Casco Antiguo in front.
We will finish in Santo Domingo Beach, going around Las Bovedas Monument in Casco Viejo.
For the sunrise we will paddle the other way around.
ITINERARY
​
For sunrise it starts from a public ramp at Punta Paitilla Park, next to the "Club Union" (see location HERE), and it ends by "Santo Domingo" (see location HERE) . Begins with a briefing on safety, and paddling techniques. Be aware for which trip you book since there are both sunsets, and sunrise paddling trips. We always choose high tide to paddle. The tide can reach up to 18 fts, and by choosing to paddle in high tide we avoid walking on rocks. For sunset we will do same circuit but switching directions.
SUNSET PADDLING You should meet us at Punta Paitilla Park not later than 4:00pm for paddling briefing and gear assignment. It might take 45 to 60 minutes to paddle across the bay. And an additional 30 minutes getting familiar with gear once we start, and sightseeing when approaching our destination in Casco Viejo. We should finish paddling around 6pm. Great time to choose a Casco Viejo rooftop bar, and return on your own at your on timing.
SUNRISE PADDLING You should meet us at "Santo Domingo" beach not later than 5:30am for paddling briefing and gear assignment. It might take 45 to 60 minutes to paddle across the bay. And an additional 30 minutes getting familiar with gear once we start, and sightseeing when approaching our destination in Punta Paitilla. We should finish paddling and our trip around 7:30am.
