What are people saying about Panama

Kelsey_T, Jul 2026

Great tour with great guides!

Jorge and Orlando were wonderful! Jorge, our guide, was in our hotel lobby early to pick us up, and was very communicative via WhatsApp. Jorge was super knowledgeable about the history of Panama and the Panama Canal. He was very patient with our group, and you can tell how much he loves his country. Orlando, our driver, got us everywhere safely! I would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn a lot about Panama in a short amount of time.

Monkey and Sloth Jungle Habitat Panama Tour

Martina_H, Jul 2026

Nice Excursion

This was a very nice excursion. We saw everything advertised. We were blessed to have a nice sunny day. Its an excellent price point as the hotel we were staying at charged a lot more. The snacks were good. I will say it was a full bus and boat so be prepared to be up close and personal with others. Aside from that, know that they will ask u to leave your bags/backpacks on the bus during the boat ride, and there's no bathrooms until after the boat tour (3hours in)...Also been sure to grab your sunscreen and insect repellent! Have fun!

Gatun Lake: Monkeys & Exotic Wildlife by the Canal

Aesha_D, Jul 2026

Perfect Learning Opportunity

We planned for the early morning outing at 7am on a Saturday and retuened home by 1030am.. We had such a beautiful time, we even forgot it was raining a little! Bring a jacket just in case but the boat does have a cover! Our tour guide was Jenny who has a wealth of knowledge not only about the Canal history but of Gatún Lake's ecosystem. Brian transported us safely to and from the lake and Junito, our boat Captain, kept us safe while on the lake AND coaxed a family of Titis out to meet us. There was another young lady who also assisted in finding animals but unfortunately, I didn't catch her name. Thank you all for a great time!

Keith_O, Jul 2026

Private tours is the way to go!

Dwayne was an excellent host and tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, and very friendly. We had time to wander, and he accommodated us when we wanted to stop for a cocktail. He pointed out multiple places for food and rooftop bars. He also accommodated us when we asked to be dropped off in old town instead of our downtown hotel. At the end of our private tour he dropped us at the doorstep of an incredible restaurant for dinner and pointed out a great rooftop bar for World Cup action. This tour is worth taking. If it’s possible request Dwayne!

All Inclusive Sunset Panama Bay Catamaran Tour From Panama City

Leyla_F, Jul 2026

10/10 experience once...

10/10 experience once some girls & I on the boat started vibing to the music. In my opinion, catamaran experiences are subjective and totally depend on the hosts & the people who are present; The hosts were AMAZING :) The boat left on time (ish, either way we can never complain about extra time for people having to commute through crazy rush hour traffic), we had access to the aux, the sunset was beautiful, they had drinks and some snacks (I’d recommend eating before boarding if you’re hungry). Would absolutely recommend, as a young woman in her 20s who went with her friend.

My wife and I had a great...

My wife and I had a great time. The experience allowed us to explore a different side of Panama City and connect with new people. The clubs were nice, but we were surprised by the music selection. We expected to hear more local music, yet much of what was played was hip-hop and rap from Atlanta and New York. Still, we enjoyed visiting five different spots and had a wonderful experience overall.

Exceptional tour guide and tour experience

Dan is a very experienced tour guide. Listening to his knowledge and stories about the Canal is like sitting through a history class. He captivates your interest and encourages you to ask questions to challenge him and help you learn about everything you are observing. Dan is a great tour guide, the watching ships cross the canal is awe inspiring. Don’t miss this tour with Dan.

Day Tour in San Blas Islands All Included Visiting 4 Islands

Fabiola_A, Apr 2026

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!!!
