Must Do Tour While in Panama

What a thrill to travel through the Panama Canal on the Pacific Queen. The whole tour was excellent. Good communication on logistics, great boarding process, nice tour boat, generous meals offered. The best part of the tour was Iann our guide. He was professional, friendly and exceedingly knowledgeable about the canal operations, the ships that use it and the complex history of building and maintaining the canal. This is a must-do tour. Don’t just see the canal from land, sail through the locks!

Day Trip to El Valle Anton from Panama City

Amazing trip to el valle de anton

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing day trip to El Valle de Antón, Panama with Misseal and our incredible tour guide, Abel. This tour was the perfect mix of adventure, sightseeing, wildlife, and relaxation. Part of our group — my son, his girlfriend, and my wife — hiked the Sleeping Indian Girl trail and absolutely loved it. Meanwhile, my daughter, her boyfriend, and I visited the zoo and butterfly garden, which were both fantastic. Afterward, we all met back up to visit the beautiful waterfall and then relaxed in the hot springs, with a great lunch in between. One of the highlights of the day was seeing sloths and toucans in the wild — such an unforgettable experience! Abel made the entire trip special. He was knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and made sure everyone had a great experience no matter which activities they chose. You can tell he truly cares about his guests having the best possible day. If you book this tour, definitely ask for Abel. Highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Panama!

Lake Gatun

This was the best tour we have taken so far in Panama. Our guide Gonzales was incredible. His knowledge and enthusiasm were perfect. On Lake Gatun he showed us monkeys, birds, sloth, bats and even a crocodile. The experience was unique. I sing the village was interesting as well since Gonzales was so know about the culture and art. He took us on a short hike and pointed out different trees and their use in daily life. The entire tour was very enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour. (The guide goes by Gonzo…for future reference)
