By Jaclyn Hurley


If you need to experience a different level of thrill probably you are in for a boat adventure. If your hungry spirit craves for the sun, the beach, and the shore you must take it to the tropical regions. You will find treasure and pleasure as you take the route that challenged many excursionist to their limits.

Talking about boating, you may want to take the passage from Panama to Colombia by boat. Some say it is quite impossible to ride a plane from point to point so a Catamaran is all you can ride. This boat is native to the tropical region of Cartagena and Panama. If you have packed already, here are few of the wonders you can encounter during the trip.

You can witness the beautiful San Blas islands before leaving Panama with all its crystal clear beaches. These tropical islands are home to the native Yula Indians where you can taste their lobster dishes. Aside from several coconuts, you can rest under the noni tree while recovering energy on the way to Colombia.

Consequently, you might exhaust your energy because of snorkeling, swimming, and possibly throwing up. There might be a problem with sea sick riders along the shaky trail to Colombia. This could usually happen to a smaller ship which can get easily pushed by the waves. There could also be an issue with the vessel space as well. For you to avoid these issues, here are the things you can do.

The first tip should be about choosing a bigger and stronger vessel. It is not time to get lazy when booking for a good ship because it can cause you trouble in the future. Except if you want to experience something risky, you can choose any vessel available. For those who wanted a traditional trip to Colombia, there are two ways to get a good vessel.

Number one, find an advance accommodation then ask them about any recommendations. It is possible that the hostel keeper knows a reliable ship with a good captain. Backpackers who have gone to the route suggest that you ride a good ship which will be leaving rather in few days rather than riding in some random ship.

Number two, choose the bigger Catamaran because it can glide through the water swiftly and most likely not that shakable. They may also offer hot showers, refrigerators, and good food. Travelers say that small ships can shake throughout the travel and some captains be too adventurous for first time backpackers.

Furthermore, in a big vessel you can bring a surfboard or any sports equipment. The capacity of the vessel could even cater to a wider sleeping quarter compared to smaller ones. If you wish to be comfy and wanted to feel safe, these tips could be applicable to you.

Lastly, you should also care to look for reviews about the vessel. You may ask your friends who have been there or read a book about traveling to Colombia. Moreover, checking the age of the ship and the experience of the captain can also give you peace of mind. Experienced captains are calmer and wiser when it comes to vessel management.
