From Albrook airport to Bocas Del Toro/Isla Colon.
Then, from Bocas Del Toro/Isla Colon to ElCaribeo by taxi-boat.
By Bus
If you want to save some money, taking an overnight bus from Panama City to Almirante (10 - 11 hours), and then a boat from Almirante to Bocas del Toro (30 minutes) is the way to go.
The final destination of this bus is Changuinola (30 minutes further ahead). There's also a bus that leaves at 8 am in the morning, but it's too late to get to the last boat that leaves from Almirante to Bocas del Toro (6 p.m.).
To make this happen you first have to take a taxi from Tocumen Airport or from your hotel in Panama City to Albrook Bus Terminal (Gran Terminal de Transporte, www.grantnt.com). And from there you can get your bus to Almirante.
Once you arrive to Almirante, you can pay any taxi to take you from the bus stop to the docks from where the boats depart to Bocas del Toro.
