We are going this 16 november to Bocas for few days. We are taking a rent car to sixaola and meabe a taxi to almirante. Bastimentos or Isla Colon for good hotels. Hola, if you arrive at the boarder asked for Papito he is a honest taxi driver. The easiest way is to go to Changuinola Finca 60 frome there are water taxis leaving to Bocas. The one hour ride is very beautiful.
Papito is the man, he's taken me to Changuinola several times. Changuinola is definitely the better option, however I think the prices are a little different than what amanap describes.
And he'll prety much always be full on the return from the finca, but not always to the finca. Also, if you're approached by people in Sixaola to "help" you cross the border, tell them to stick it. Anyone can figure out how to get a passport stamp and walk across the bridge into Panama. These guys will "take" you to a cab diver, who will charge you more in order to cover what he has to pay these pegas for "bringing" him clients.
If any of you remember what kind of Car he normally dives it will help. How it will take from Sixaola to the farm. I know how does people try always to get your money. I am a tour guide here and I have some experience with people like that. If you want papito to waite for you you can contact him via the water taxi send a mail to info bocasmarinetours. Out of my experience Tom he has the Hostal Tio Tom in bastimento is the best nature guide he offers a cave tour, natur walks to looks for different frogs, reptiles and plants.
If you will look for property i recommend to stay in Isla Colon and then you have a range of Ac hotel prices cheepest are Las Olas ca. We will look more is Isla Colon.
