LAUNCH SCHEDULE 
Fast launches depart from Pier 19 in Balboa each morning and 
evening. Return from Taboga twice daily also. Over week ends 
there is additional launch service. For the exact schedules consult 
the local newspapers. (Balboa is 10 minutes by taxi from Panama 
City. ) Tickets may be purchased at the Pier. 
The launch trip to and from Taboga is in itself an excellent 
sight-seeing tour. Leaving the busy commercial harbor of Balboa, 
the launch slips out through the Pacific entrance of the Panama 
Canal, passes the Fortified Islands and continues through the 
sparkling blue-green waters of island studded Panama Bay. Trip 
each way takes approximately an hour and one-half. 
Island of Flowers 
PANAMA BAY 
REPUBLIC OF PANAMA 
Taboga Village, La Restinga and Morro Island 
TABOGA , ideally situated in beautiful 
Panama Bay, is a resort for those who “like to go 
down to the sea in ships. ” It is noted for its marine 
beauty and for its lush tropical foliage and flowers. 
The native village, a few minutes walk from the 
Hotel “Paraiso La Restinga,” is historically interest' 
mg for the many legends which are told of it and 
because it has been a resort since the early 1600s when 
the few survivors of the sack of Old Panama fled there 
from the pirates. It is a colorful place of narrow wind' 
ing paths, gayly painted fishing shanties and pineapple 
plantations clinging to the steep mountain slopes. 
Life on Taboga is lazy. Nobody hurries. If it 
doesn’t get done today—well, there’s always tomor¬ 
row. The silky white sand beaches, translucent 
water and the shade of centuries old Tamarind trees 
invite the visitor to forget the world and its problems.
