This option offers you the opportunity to make your trip super comfortable with special attention.
Hiring a private aircraft you can get to Contadora Island in just 20 minutes.
The aerial view of the entire trip is a spectacular experience, despite the short time it takes you can see the archipelago of pearls made up of the different islands.

Many tourists use this means of transport because it is cheaper despite not having access to the same amenities as on a charter flight.
The ferry takes you directly to Playa Larga from Panama City. You just have to keep in mind that the departure time is at 6:30am and its return at 2:15pm.
Approximately in an hour and a half you will reach Playa Larga Contadora. You have the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful marine spectacle that will impress you from the first moment.
