Calypso King Ferry to the Taboga Island Beach for Vacationers in Panama
Day trippers heading to the beach, or vacationers heading to Taboga Island on the Pacific side of Panama for a few days to de stress, hike, lay on the island beach, go fishing, take a boat tour, eat fresh fish, sleep in the hammock… Now can enjoy the convenience of the Calypso King ferry, a reconditioned larger ferry now sailing from Panama to Taboga Island. The trip was 1 hour in the Queen, but in the King we were back in the city in 30 minutes yesterday. The lower deck is air conditioned, while on the upper deck travelers can watch the ships waiting to pass into or out of the Panama Canal while they travel to Taboga.
The ferry leaves from Amador Causeway. Check the FERRY schedule on our Bed and Breakfast website B&B Inn Cerrito Tropical: http://www.cerritotropicalpanama.com Telephone for Calypso Ferries: 314-1730, 390-2403
We do not yet have the permanent schedule for the King which holds over 200 passengers. It will probably run on weekends and National Holidays-they will not likely send it when there are not enough people to fill it.
On a personal note: I still love the other open air ferries, they are slower and lull me into a relaxed state of mind coming from the crazy city to the much slower paced Taboga Island.
That is a very cool looking ferry – wish we could come up with something like that over here in Scotland.
