Colombia To Panama Sailing Vacations

By Serena Price


Tourists have only two ways to get from Colombia to countries to the north - by air or by sea. If you fly, you miss the spectacular beauty of the Caribbean Sea that borders the country. If you go by boat, you have a choice of private yacht or commercial vessel. One of the best choices is to take a Colombia to Panama sailing trip, especially one that is approved by a reputable tour company.

It's a good idea to work with a specialized travel agency that can screen boats and captains who provide passenger service. There are complications to any international travel, and the personal service of experienced tour arrangers can minimize mistakes, expense, and other unpleasant surprises. Go online to find offers of help in arranging your adventure, and check out the agencies as you would any other commercial enterprise.

A five-day sailing trip is something that most people never experience. The Caribbean Ocean has some of the most beautiful waters and beaches in the world. These two countries were once part of the same Spanish colony but now have their own unique things to offer. However, sun, pristine white sandy beaches, and hundreds of islands inhabited by indigenous peoples are things that both share.

The trip by sailing boat takes about five days. Few experience the peace and serenity of ocean sailing, with the beautiful coastline on one side and the horizon on the other. Talk about getting away from it all. The cares that you need to escape on vacation will vanish like mist before the tropical sun in this ocean paradise.

Along the way, you can laze in the sun on deck or fish the deep sea waters for a trophy tuna. Swimming and snorkeling near one of the hundreds of islands, enjoying a secluded beach and the famous jewel-tone water, or visiting an Indian village for a glimpse of indigenous culture are some side trips that can be arranged.

If you like, you can charter the whole boat for your family, and friends. If you travel with strangers, you'll have ample time to really get to know them and perhaps make new, lasting friendships. Fresh seafood caught that day will be the basis for the Caribbean cuisine you'll feast on.

If you are almost persuaded that this sort of small group vacation is for you, go online and look at tour company sites and the official sites of the two countries. The pictures of the scenery and the descriptions of sights to see and adventures to experience are very enticing. You can visit ruins of lost civilizations and walk down streets dating from the colonial period, or enjoy the nightlife of modern downtown areas. You can ride a zip line over the jungle canopy, bird watch without ceasing, and visit four and five star resorts.

A Colombia to Panama sailing trip might not be a usual vacation, but it will certainly be a memorable one. The cost is moderate as exotic vacations go, and there are many reviews online from people who have made the trip and are eager to share the details.
