Forchiney Aqua Tours
Amir Forchiney, a proud local of Bastimentos Island, has turned his passion for the ocean into an unforgettable tour experience with Forchiney Aqua Tours. Operating from the Lil Spa Shop property on Isla Colón, Amir and his girlfriend launched their business to share the stunning beauty and rich wildlife of the Bocas del Toro region with visitors.
One of the unique offerings of Forchiney Aqua Tours is a visit to the Bat Cave in Bahia Honda—an experience rarely found among local tour guides. Guests also enjoy Amir’s keen expertise in spotting sloths, monkeys, and iguanas, creatures often hidden from view by travelers. During excursions to the Red Frog Beach area, Amir leads tours focused on wildlife spotting, ensuring visitors get an unforgettable glimpse of the local fauna.
For those interested in fishing, Forchiney Aqua Tours specializes in a range of fishing experiences, from spearfishing tours near Punta Vieja to family-friendly trolling excursions. Guests have the thrilling opportunity to catch their own fish, which can then be cooked over an open flame on a secluded beach or transformed into delicious ceviche, a true taste of the ocean.
With deep knowledge of the reefs and marine life, Amir provides a personalized and enriching experience for all. Whether embarking on an adventure to the Bat Cave or fishing with family, Forchiney Aqua Tours promises an engaging connection to the stunning landscape and wildlife of Bocas del Toro. Join Amir and embark on an incredible journey filled with nature, fun, and unforgettable memories!
