Leisly's Review: A Journey Into the Heart of the Jungle: The Emberá Experience

If you are looking for an escape that feels less like a "tour" and more like a profound cultural connection, a visit to the Emberá community is an absolute must. My recent trip was, quite frankly, the highlight of my visit to Panamá—a perfect blend of raw nature and soulful tradition. Our Guide: Kareem First off, we have to talk about our guide, Kareem. A trip like this lives or dies by the person leading the way, and Kareem was phenomenal. He wasn't just a font of knowledge; he was a bridge between two worlds and he was very sweet, helpful, funny and real. • Insightful: He shared deep historical context that you just won't find in a guidebook. • Attentive: He made sure every person in the group felt comfortable and engaged. • Genuine: His passion for the land and respect for the Emberá people were evident in every story he told. If you can request him, do it! The Waterfall Trek The journey began with a stunning canoe ride, followed by a 5 minute hike to a hidden waterfall. • The Scenery: The lush canopy and the sounds of the tropical birds make you feel like you've stepped back in time. • The Dip: Reaching the falls and diving into the cool, crystal-clear water was the ultimate refreshment. It’s the kind of "natural spa" experience that recharges your battery instantly. Visiting the Emberá Community The true heart of the day was meeting the Emberá people. It is incredibly rare to find a cultural exchange that feels this authentic and welcoming. • The Welcome: From the moment we stepped off the boat, we were greeted with traditional music and genuine smiles. • The Culture: We learned about their intricate basket weaving, stunning beadwork, and the meaning behind their traditional body painting and their amazing dances. • The Meal: We were served a delicious, fresh lunch (the fried tilapia and plantains were perfection!) served in a traditional banana leaf. Why You Should Go Visiting this indigenous community isn’t just about seeing something new; it’s about perspective. The Emberá live with a beautiful simplicity and a deep reverence for the earth that is truly inspiring. Pro Tip: Bring some small bills if you want to purchase their handcrafted art. It’s breathtakingly beautiful and directly supports the village families. This was an unforgettable, eye-opening day. Huge thanks to Kareem for making it so special!

Monkey and Sloth Jungle Habitat Panama Tour

Philip_S, Apr 2026

Back to nature

This is a must do and great value. 45 minute drive out of Panama City. Beginning with the Monkey Island tour on Gatun Lake 🐒🌿 Just a 45 min drive from Panama City to the Gamboa docks where we jumped a boat to take you on the Panama Canal and the islands on Lake Gatun and getting close up to capuchins, howler monkeys, tamarins, iguanas, amazing birds (I loved the Snail Kite) as well as getting up close to huge ships transiting the Canal. The highlight was getting out on foot in the stunning biodiversity of the Panamanian rainforest - first to see two amazing yellow-throated toucans fly past like a blaze of colour but then to spend time observing an endangered brown throated three-toed sloth 🦥 dangling in the tree above our heads was amazing. Well organised, safe and a good way to spend 5 hours.

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.

Panama City walking tour

We had a very knowledgeable guide. He was so friendly and concerned that we were all kept hydrated and in the shade when we stopped at places of interest. It wasn't a fast pace but not slow either. We were picked up at the ship, our guide couldn't see us at first but kept looking for us, it was very busy. The car we were picked up in was very clean and he was a very considerate driver.

We were picked up from...

We were picked up from our air bnb which was great! We traveled by bus to the boat to do our tour of the monkey Islands along the canal. John was very knowledgeable, fun & informative. We saw a few varieties of monkeys, a crocodile, various birds & iguanas:) Unfortunately, we didn't get to see a sloth, perhaps another time.... We finished up with a Panamanian dinner in the square in Casco Viejo, which was fun! It was a great & we enjoyed it:) Janet & Dan NS, Canada

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!

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.

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!

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!
