Monkey and Sloth Jungle Habitat Panama Tour

Catherine_H, Apr 2026

Best excursion!!! Don’t skip this!!

Enrique (guide) and Carlos(driver) make a great team for this adventure. The boat ride was exhilarating and we saw so many monkeys! We also saw a sloth way up in a tree and Enrique helped us take a photo though his monocle. The walk through the jungle was a nice relaxing way to end the experience. Wear closed toe shoes, but no need to Deet up or wear long sleeves and pants, because you don’t go deep into the jungle. The empanadas and fresh pineapple were a delicious snack in the middle of the tour. Don’t miss out on this experience! All ages will enjoy this tour.

Half-Day City and Panama Canal Tour

Jan_J, Apr 2026

Beyond my highest expectations

The Old City Ruins and Panama Canal tour was amazingly well organized, fun, and educational. I had visited the Old City Riins on my own the day before. I learned so much more from Jimmy, our tour guide, and enjoyed it way more than being on my own. I had visited the Canal 20 years ago but didn't realize the massive upgrade it had experienced. It was amazing and the movie is a must see. I would highly recommend Viator.

Legends of Casco Viejo Tour: Uncover Hidden Gems

Erin_L, Apr 2026

Excellent walking tour!

Our tour guide, Alex, was great! We learned so much about the history of Casco Viejo and Panama. We got to see all the spots we were hoping too and many more we didn’t know about. We loved the Mola museum! It was great to learn about the culture as well. Such a well rounded tour with a little bit of everything. Would highly recommend!!

Panama City Visit an Indian town Embera and waterfall with lunch

Safiya_J, Mar 2026

The company contacts you...

The company contacts you the morning of with pick up times. For me it was about 15 mins before so keep WhatsApp handy. Fabulous tour. Kareem and Javier were the guides and Aldo was the local guide in the community. 100% do the waterfall. The food was fantastic - I had the chicken. I don’t eat fish but ppl seemed to love it. Aldo went out of his way to get a fruit for me that I hadn’t had since a kid. All the other guides are great and they all work together to make sure the community and tourists get what they need.

All Inclusive Taboga Island Catamaran Tour from Panama City

Alicja_Z, Mar 2026

A great escape from the bustle of the city

Great boat trip, highly recommend! The meetup point is at the Marina, a facility with a cafe/bathrooms, which is nice, since most boat tours I've done in the past involved standing outside on a sidewalk to line up. Everyone from the Red Cat crew was super friendly, helpful, and paid attention to safety guidelines and even taught people how to dance. We had 2 stops, one to swim off the shore/by the boat, and another stop at the dock to enjoy Taboga for 2 hours, before having lunch on the boat. There were families, bachelorette parties, couples, and other groups. The cool thing about Panama City is all the huge boats you pass by, as they are all waiting to cross the canal! Highly recommend for all types of people!

Ocean to Ocean Combo: Canal Boat Ride, Locks, Fort San Lorenzo

Noah_B, Mar 2026

Amazing!

We had a great time on this tour. Our guide Daniel was amazing and informative, providing insights about Panama and the history of everything we were seeing. On the jungle tour we were able to see 3 types of monkeys and other wildlife. The kids were all smiling ear-to-ear! Visiting the canal locks was great and seeing a ship go through a marvel of engineering was great. The tour finished at the San Lorenzo fort, which was really cool to explore.

Panama Canal Partial Tour - Southbound Direction

Paul_R, Mar 2026

Great Tour of an Engineering Wonder

I was skeptical about this but really enjoyed it! The experience in the locks - being close to a huge ship, seeing the mechanics of the doors, the tugs, railroad engines. Unless you’ve spent time around container ships you have no idea of the scale. Our guide was great but the audio system could use some maintenance. Lots of birds throughout the transit and several white tailed deer on the right after Miraflores locks. The Pacific Queen is a great old ship and the A/C kept the main level comfortable. The food was better than I thought it would be. Rice, veggies, salad and chicken was filling but a bland. Overall I think it’s a good value and if you’re a fan of ‘How it’s Made’ or engineering oriented its a great experience.

Gatun Lake: Monkeys & Exotic Wildlife by the Canal

Ishk_V, Mar 2026

Really fun experience

Jenny, our tour guide was awesome! Very knowledgeable and articulate. Pickup was smooth and the tour description was accurate. We saw 3 different types of monkeys, with 2 species coming onto the boat! Such an experience to interact with them in the wild. Saw an iguana and bats also. We also saw several huge ships passing by which was quite neat. Overall experience exceeded expectations!

All Inclusive Sunset Panama Bay Catamaran Tour From Panama City

Dana_G, Mar 2026

Beautiful Night on the Water

We had a great time on the cruise. The staff was nice and engaging. They ensured everyone left with a smile on their faces, even the passengers that arrived late and had to catch us from another boat! We danced, we relaxed, we drank, and we enjoyed the views! The only helpful tip I would offer is to bring socks/beach shoes. We had to take off our shoes upon boarding, which the team shared, however, we all thought we could put them back on once we had boarded. The floors of the boat are not the most comfortable. I hope you have a great time like we did!

All-inclusive 8-hour catamaran tour to Isla Taboga from Panama City

Dianne, Feb 2026

A very fun experience!...

A very fun experience! There was a large group but the boat is huge so not crowded. Lunch was delicious...much better than expected. The bar was open all day and stocked with beer, rum and vodka, plus water and juice. The crew members were terrific...very upbeat and made a good experience great!

The OG Crawl by The Panama Barcrawl - (Panama City, Panama)

Samuel_B, Jan 2026

Great Night Out!

Fantastic experience, the tour guides were fantastic. This tour is more exclusive as the first 3 places did not have anyone from the public in it. The number of people that signed up for this was perfect, made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend this tour. Great job ladies! P.S- The Pony Up Bar was my favorite! We went back after the Bar Crawl, the Bartender Eddie was fantastic!
