Beautiful beaches, amazing service. The trip to San Blas was the highlight of our vacation to Panama. The food
Visiting San Blas on this tour was the highlight of our vacation! Beautiful beaches, easy travel. Getting there took about 3 hours but our guide made a stop so that we could grab breakfast on the way. Then we took a 45 minute boat ride to the first island which was a total dream! We got there early enough that we had the whole island to ourselves. We got amazing pictures and enjoyed the ocean. For lunch they served us fish and chicken with fried plantains, salad, and coconut rice. They even had vegetarian options. After 2 hours on the first island we jumped back on the boat and went to the other 3 islands, spending about 1 hour at each. Each island had its own magical experience. We were able to kayak (for free), snorkel (equipment was provided), see starfish, and interact with the Gunas and buy souvenirs from them. I was able to get some incredible pictures! Everything was included, our tour guide was funny and took really good care of us. I would strongly recommend this tour!!!
What an amazing tour! We were so happy we chose this tour. Pick up time was clearly communicated and right on time. There was so much packed into the day-great boat ride with lots of animal sightings, an amazing visit to the locks and we were able to see 2 different ships go through. Fort San Lorenzo was also very neat to see. Lunch was delicious, and we were constantly being offered cold water. We had lots of time at all of the stops and never felt rushed. Our tour guide John was amazing!!I really can’t say enough about how helpful and informative he was, as well as entertaining! He took such good care of us. Loved this tour and 1000% recommend!
Tony and Gabriel made this tour one of the best experiences in Panama - pickup directly at our hotel and off to the canal, and the rest of the itinerary. Gabriel was very knowledgeable and engaging, and kept the tour fun and relaxed on the commute and walk through the old city. Definitely recommend as your first activity to get your feet wet.
This tour was better than I imagined it would be! Staff is very friendly, fun and helpful. I felt safe from beginning to end. It was a vibe! Wonderful music, dancing, drinks and a yummy lunch to end the tour along the way back to the marina. 100% recommend it!
Easiest and most comfortable way to see the canal.
This is an easy, comfortable way to experiece the canal for family members of all ages. We spent all of our time on the upper deck where viewing was best, but the airconditioned areas on the lower decks also offered good viewing. Breakfast and lunch were basic but both were quite good and made with fresh ingredients. Our tour guide was very knowledable about all aspects of the canals history and current operations. On the whole, an excellent experience.
Such a fantastic, unique experience! A highlight of our trip! Maria’s expertise and enthusiasm was so wonderful….we learned so much and this was beyond our expectations! Highly recommend if you are a coffee and chocolate lover and looking for something new!!
Cesar was fast and responsive. We used his service twice; from the airport to Colon and a week later from Colon to Panama City. Our first driver was also called Cesar, he was friendly and gave us great tips from Panama. Our second driver was Aniel, also friendly and on time; very knowledgeable about our curiosities in regards to Panama. We appreciate the service and will definitely used them again if needed! Thanks a lot!
Driver arrived early at our hotel and waited for us to be ready at the specified pickup time. She was courteous, spoke English and a very safe driver. Once we arrived at the cruise terminal, there was a mixup with the cruise ship location and she offered to take us to the new location. We declined the offer and had the cruise company take care of getting us to the new location for the cruise ship.
We had never used car service in Panama so we’re concerned about the logistics. After a long trek to terminal 2, we received a What’s App call from our driver, Moises. His easy and helpful manner got us to our hotel quickly. He was better than we could have hoped!
Our driver, Filipp, was on time for our pick up from the hotel. He had provided our ride from airport to hotel when we arrived in Panama City, so of course, he remembered us. His English was great, he was informative and answered questions we had about the city & restaursnts, and he handled all our luggage. I would highly recommend Filipp as a dependable and friendly driver!
This was a great company to work with from start to finish. I made the mistake of booking the wrong day, but they were fast to respond and make adjustments. This is my 'go to' transportation company. Drivers were great, cars clean, and I always felt safe! Gracias!
Our tour with Mr. Alonso was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. He picked us up right on time, and although the drive to our first stop—the Agua Clara Locks, part of the Panama Canal expansion—was about an hour, the ride flew by thanks to Alonso’s deep knowledge and fascinating storytelling. He gave us a rich, detailed history of Panama and the Panama Canal, helping us truly understand its importance and impact.
He made sure we had the best view and timing to see a massive ship go through the canal process and explained every step clearly. He even helped us take some amazing photos along the way.
After the canal visit, we went on a wildlife safari, where we spotted birds and other native animals, followed by a visit to San Lorenzo Fort, where Alonso again impressed us with his knowledge of the region's colonial and military history.
This tour gave us such a comprehensive, meaningful experience—much better than just visiting the usual canal viewing spots. I’m so glad we booked with Alonso. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to really understand Panama beyond the surface!
