Top Panama Day Trips - page 10

My husband and I booked this Tour to a waterfall and Embera village with lunch included in late July 2026 expecting a fun day exploring a national park in Panama. By the time we returned that evening, we realized we had experienced something truly unforgettable. The canoe rides through the river were peaceful and beautiful, and the hike through the rainforest felt like stepping into another world. We saw gorgeous blue butterflies, colorful birds, tiny frogs, and even a giant tarantula that reminded us just how alive the rainforest is. Then we reached the waterfall. It was absolutely breathtaking and worth every step of the hike. Swimming in the rocky lagoon beneath the falls and taking what felt like a hundred photos made this a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The visit to the Embera village was equally amazing. Everyone welcomed us with genuine warmth, and we had fun using our poquito de español! Lunch was delicious. The freshly fried fish and plantains, cooked over an open fire in a traditional hut on stilts, were some of the best we had in Panama. We also enjoyed tasting unique local fruits we had never tried before. We learned about their history and traditions, watched their dances, and even joined in the stepper set. We couldn't help noticing that some of the rhythms reminded us of stepping, which made it even more fun! Before leaving, we picked up beautiful handmade carvings, a woven purse, and a colorful skirt as keepsakes. We even got traditional painted tattoos and all of the ladies received a flower headband that made the experience even more memorable. A special thank you to our outstanding tour guide and the Embera guides, whose kindness and openness made us feel like honored guests instead of tourists. We also had a great time getting to know the two other couples on our tour, and we left feeling like new friends. This wasn't just another excursion. It became one of the highlights of our trip and one of the most memorable travel experiences we've ever had. If you're visiting Panama, don't even think twice. Book this tour!

We saw sloths, dolphins and a parrot oh my! This was an excellent tour that I highly recommend in order to see multiple islands near Bocas del Toro. Our tour guide Randall was extremely informative and friendly. Captain Amir is an experienced and skilled pilot. The lunch stop was delicious. Zapatillas Island Beach was gorgeous and our surprise at the end was Great! Thanks Randall and Amir for a fantastic tour day out!

Great tour for first time visitors to experience a bit of Panama City, especially the Casco Viejo area. Route is mostly flat and easy for riders of all abilities. Our guide, Stefan, was friendly and knowledgeable. Bikes are basic but in good condition.
