Bocas del Toro is an archipelago located in the Caribbean Sea. Its tropical weather transforms the region into a marvelous habitat for a wide variety of biodiversity.
On average, the temperature of the island stays around 26 degrees Celsius and the water remains warm year round. You can enjoy spectacular sunrises with clear skies and great colors during most of the year.
Rain in Bocas is something that happens more during months than others. In general, it’s characterized by either strength and a short duration or milder but longer lasting. After all, we’re in the Tropics! This weather characteristic makes Bocas have large, leafy forests, mainly tropical forests. Furthermore, since there is always an exception to the norm, Bocas may have stronger tropical storms for a few days in a row. This is great for surf lovers since these storms often bring world-class waves.
From January to May, something similar to a ‘dry season happens. This means that there will be little rainfall and when rain happens, it will be less intense and for a shorter duration. On the other hand, some agree that the best time to visit the island is in September and October because another bout of a small ‘dry season occurs. At this time there are also fewer tourists due to flat waters and non-traditional vacation time, so this tropical wonderland becomes the ideal destination for those who want tranquility above all else.
It is important to keep in mind that for the months when there may be more rain, you will actually find better rates to stay, beaches with fewer tourists, and better waves to surf. So really, when you come and enjoy the wonders of the archipelago is actually all up to you and your preferences.
