The Pearl Islands (Spanish: Archipielago de las Perlas) are a region in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Panama. Made famous as the site for three seasons of the reality television show Survivor, the archipelago is a combination of beautiful islands with pristine virgin forest and sandy white beaches. Contadora Island is the most developed one, with a paved airstrip and 2 high-end Resorts and many private houses.
By boat
A ferry service started in April of 2010 between the causeway near Panama City and Contadora Island. Fares start at $35 each way with a mysterious $3 embark and disembarking fee.
Private yacht charters are offered from Panama City to the Pearl Islands. Once you coordinate one of these charters, you will be able to cruise around the entire archipelago.
