Bocas Weather
The weather in Bocas averages 27 degrees Centigrade or 82 degrees Fahrenheit year round. The beaches are long with soft, straw colored sand and the water is warm, clear and blue. Bocas Del Toro lies 9 degrees above the equator in the tropical zone. Isla Bastimentos is a living rainforest, and because of this it does rain throughout the year. Generally, rain comes in short storms which pass through quickly, clearing up to a sunny afternoon and leaving the ground and forest refreshed. Typically, the months of January to April have the least amount of precipitation.
Getting to Red Frog Beach From Bocas Town
The Red Frog Conexion water-taxi service by Jampan. This transportation service runs to and from Jampan's location right beside the Bocas Info center in town. This 10-minute beautiful boat ride runs daily with runs between 9am and 5:30pm. Red Frog recommends this Conexion service by Jampan to our guests because it offers the best rates ($4 one-way, $7 round-trip per person).
From the airport in Bocas, you can take a taxi to the Bocas Information Center along the waterfront ($1 per person).
Red Frog Villa Guests can also organize an airport pick-up service for $13 per person payable in cash on arrival. Please contact Katie McDonough at redfrogvillas@gmail.com to coordinate this service.
