Pedasí: Full-Day Fishing Trip with Boat and Captain｜Panama

Species such as corvina, mackerel, roosterfish, cubera snapper, amberjack, grouper, many types of snapper, and jacks can be caught. It's even possible to find schools of tarpon. Some species are easier to catch in specific months, such as yellowfin tuna and cubera snapper from March to June. From July to October you can find dorado, sailfish, marlin, and wahoo, which come closer to shore. Yellowfin tuna can also be found during these months.

You can combine your fishing excursion with a visit to Isla Iguana, a beautiful nature reserve located off the coast of Pedasí. Iguana Island is more reminiscent of the Caribbean than the Panamanian Pacific. This island boasts white sand and crystal-clear waters, ideal for snorkeling. The island has over 40 hectares of coral reef teeming with a wide variety of fish and colorful turtles. Visitors between June and October may spot humpback whales.
