Reviews
Visit the floating bar in our Last day in bocas. Very nice Location, cool atmosphere and super great Hosts ☺️ Price value is also fine for this Location. Balboa was 3 $. Would recommend to spent an afternoon there.
Boya de Vida is an absolute must when visiting Bocas del Toro! We had so much fun here, as it’s such a unique experience being out on a floating bar surrounded by the most beautiful, crystal-clear Caribbean water. The location is unbeatable, with stunning views in every direction that make you never want to leave. The atmosphere is laid-back, fun, and perfect for spending a few hours (or the whole day!) soaking it all in. It’s owned by a lovely Italian family who make the experience even more special with their warm hospitality and welcoming vibe. Between the incredible setting, great energy, and amazing people, this was easily one of the highlights of our trip. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in t
What a great place. A beautiful wooden island with very friendly hosts who have excellent taste in music. Delicious drinks and small snacks at fair prices. A stunning view of the bay and the surrounding boats. Crystal-clear water that you can even jump into from the bar’s rooftop. When we were here at lunchtime, we were the only guests and had the entire bar to ourselves. We liked it so much that we stopped by again on our way back from our kayaking tour. In the evening at sunset, a few people come by and the vibe is super chill.
We visited Boya de Vida twice and loved it! First with four people, and the next day with the three of us. The owner is very friendly, the drinks are great and the lunch snacks are really good as well. The vibe is fantastic thanks to the owner, the music and the visitors (well… most of them 😉). It’s not a party boat; you come here to enjoy the water, beautiful views, a laid-back atmosphere and great service. Highly recommended!
Popped in here for some sunset drinks. As soon as you get off the water taxi they greet you with a shot of some kind of delicious drink. You can jump off the top level of the bar(which I did). The staff is very friendly and provided Prompt service. I’d highly recommend making some time to come here. It’s a must! We plan on coming back next year and we’ll definitely see you again. Can hardly wait!
